A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead Dev Diary Details Intense Stealth Gameplay

As a seasoned survivor of countless post-apocalyptic worlds and a connoisseur of stealth games, I can’t help but feel my heart pounding with anticipation for “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead“. The blend of conventional stealth mechanics with the unique emphasis on silence is a tantalizing proposition that has me on the edge of my makeshift chair.


In the upcoming horror game “A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead,” players are tasked with exploring a post-apocalyptic world teeming with deafeningly dangerous aliens who rely solely on their acute hearing to locate prey. To survive, stealth will be crucial, and developers Stormind Games and Saber Interactive have shared more insights into this aspect of the game in a recent developer diary.

The video opens with lead game designer Manuel Moavero outlining some traditional stealth elements in ‘A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead’, such as concealing oneself behind bushes or cardboard boxes, before emphasizing that the core of the game involves maintaining silence to avoid drawing the attention of the fearsome alien creatures.

The game equips players with various useful items such as a flashlight to help them more easily locate and recognize potentially hazardous objects, ranging from broken glass that might be stepped on to traps ready to activate.

The phonometer you’ll use will not only quantify the level of background noise surrounding you but also your own sound output. This means that if you find yourself in a noisy environment, such as near rushing water, it’s okay for you to make sounds without worrying about drawing unnecessary attention.

As an enthusiast, I’m eagerly anticipating the journey that “The Road Ahead” promises! This game seems to task players with discovering items within their surroundings and cleverly employing them to gain an edge. For instance, you could hurl a bottle to generate diversions, or scatter sand ahead as you stride, thereby muffling your footsteps. The video below offers further insights into the intriguing tactics we can expect.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is due out on October 17 for PS5, Xbox Series X/S, and PC.
