What indie game’s creative use of silence or pauses enhanced its tension?

What indie title used silence or deliberate pauses to ratchet up tension or emotion? Maybe it was sudden muting of the soundtrack before a boss fight, pauses in NPC dialogue that spoke volumes, or environmental audio drop-outs that left you on edge. How did these quiet moments contrast with action to create memorable peaks? Did the silence ever feel too long or break immersion?

In "Inside," the clever use of silence and pauses heightens tension perfectly. Quiet moments and stillness create a sense of unease, making suspense more intense. The absence of sound emphasizes the environment, drawing players deeper into the unsettling atmosphere.
