A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead

Saber Interactive and Stormind Games have released a partly live-action trailer for its upcoming video game “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead” based on the popular horror franchise. The game launches October 17th.

The trailer aims to show off a bit of a special feature of the game – optional microphone noise detection. If enabled, it turns players’ microphones on with even the slightest sounds potentially alerting the game’s deadly creatures.
