A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is a standalone game set in the same universe as the movies, but with little connection to the movies themselves.
The game takes place after the events of A Quiet Place: Day One but before the events of the original movie.
The story is set in upstate New York, and there are a few flashback segments that correspond with the films’ storylines.
Although the game is set in the same universe as the movies, it features a different cast of characters.
The game focuses on noise, similar to the movies. If you make too much noise, you will be hunted relentlessly by blind extraterrestrial creatures called Death Angels.
The game provides a phonometer to measure sound in the environment and the sounds you make to help you navigate the world.
The game can be played without having seen the movies, and it does not spoil any of the movies.
The game's difficulty spikes feel artificial, but the tension and immersion are second to none.
There's a setting that allows the creature to hear your mic in-game, so players should be careful when screaming too loud.
