Fans of the A Quiet Place movie series are in for an immersive scare with the release of A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead next week. Developed by Stormind Games, known for Remothered: Broken Porcelain (2020), this new first-person horror adventure will launch on October 17 for PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. The game promises to capture the tense, sound-sensitive atmosphere of the film series, which includes A Quiet Place (2018), A Quiet Place Part II (2020), and A Quiet Place: Day 1 (2023).
A New Way to Play: Microphone Noise Detection
The optional microphone noise detection is a key feature that sets A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead apart from other horror games. Players who enable this feature will find that any sound they make in real life could alert the game’s alien creatures, adding a new layer of tension to the gameplay. If you make even the slightest noise—like a cough or a nervous laugh—these creatures might detect you, potentially ruining your progress. According to Stormind Games, this feature is designed to bring the horror “directly to your room,” replicating the nerve-wracking experience of the films, where staying silent is a matter of life and death.
A Stealth-Driven Horror Experience
In A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, players will step into the shoes of a young survivor navigating a post-apocalyptic world dominated by deadly creatures that respond to sound. The gameplay emphasizes exploration, puzzle-solving, and stealth. With no weapons to confront the alien creatures directly, players must rely on distraction and hiding tactics to avoid detection. Adding to the intensity is an oxygen meter, represented by a set of lungs, requiring players to manage their breathing to stay silent carefully. This gameplay mechanic ensures the tension remains high as you try to outmaneuver your alien pursuers.
Pricing and Availability
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead will be available for $29.99 on PS5, Xbox Series, and PC. Fans of physical editions can also pick up the game in stores on October 17, the same day as the digital release. With its unique blend of immersive sound-based gameplay and atmospheric tension, this title aims to deliver a thrilling experience for fans of both the movie series and survival horror games.
Prepare for a nerve-wracking adventure where silence is your greatest ally. Will you be able to enable the microphone and face the challenge head-on?
