Silence is survival — and your very life depends on it. QUIET, the uproariously tense 1–4 player co-op horror-comedy from LINE Games, is preparing to make some noise of its own: its first-ever public demo lands October 22, fresh off a wildly successful playtest that drew 270,000+ players across 148 countries.
The game will also feature at The MIX Fall Showcase and take part in Screamfest (Oct 26 – Nov 2), putting its unique sound-is-everything gameplay front and centre for horror fans worldwide.
What Is QUIET? Don’t Make a Sound…
You and your flock are alien ducks — yes, alien ducks — who’ve crash-landed on Earth. Your ship is busted, and the spare parts you need are inside a seemingly ordinary house. The problem? The homeowner is anything but ordinary — and she hears everything.
QUIET is built on one brutal rule: every sound matters. Sprint too fast, knock over a lamp, fumble an item — or even breathe too loudly into your microphone — and you’ll give away your position. Move quietly, work together, and slip out unseen; make a racket, and she’ll come for you.
From Strength to Strength: The Playtest Phenomenon
The game’s earlier limited playtest exploded far beyond expectations, with players from Norwich to New Zealand sneaking, scrambling, and squawking their way through the dark. That massive global turnout proved one thing: the world is ready for a co-op horror that’s equal parts heart-pounding tension and feather-ruffling fun. LINE Games has been poring over every piece of feedback, refining mechanics, and smoothing the stealth to make the demo the best possible introduction.
What to Expect in the Demo
- Sound = Survival — Your footsteps, your fumbles, and even your real-world voice chat can trigger detection. Silence isn’t just golden — it’s your only defence.
- Solo or Flock — Go it alone or sneak in as a squad of up to four. Co-ordination is key; one clumsy quack can spell doom for everyone.
- Procedurally Spooked — No two runs feel the same, with shifting layouts and hazards keeping even seasoned players on edge.
- Horror Meets Hijinks — The tone balances genuine dread with slapstick charm. One moment you’re holding your breath in pitch blackness; the next, you’re accidentally sending a stack of teacups crashing to the floor.
Showcase Season: Two Big Stages
The excitement ramps up fast:
- The MIX Fall Showcase — QUIET takes the spotlight alongside some of indie gaming’s most promising titles.
- Screamfest (Oct 26 – Nov 2) — Right on the heels of the demo launch, QUIET joins the premier horror gaming event, letting players and streamers show how well they really keep quiet under pressure.
