A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead

Play it on: Xbox
Current goal: Check this thing out, quietly

That previously announced Quiet Place horror game from Saber Interactive launched this week and I don’t really see anyone talking about it. Perhaps that’s because they are all pretending to be immersed in the universe of the films and are being quiet so as not to attract some angry alien monster. Or maybe it’s because this game has flown under the radar for many and digital codes for the game didn’t arrive at outlets until release. (It’s that second one.)

Either way, I’m curious to poke at this new Quiet Place game because the idea of a survival horror game built around being quiet and not making loud noises sounds intriguing. And the mode that lets the in-game aliens hear your screams or coughs via your console or PC’s microphone sounds gimmicky but possibly fun. Imagine creeping around, trying to avoid a deadly monster, and then farting in real life and getting killed. Pretty funny. — Zack Zwiezen
