Obviously, when you’re talking about A Quiet Place, you focus on sound. And while the previous developer diaries for A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead touched on sound in gameplay, developer Stormind has gone the extra mile with a new mechanic in a new live-action trailer: Microphone Noise Detection.
As shown in the trailer, by activating your microphone, this feature lets the game’s creatures detect every sound you make in real life, adding a new layer of immersion to gameplay, and bringing the horror right into your room. And just to be clear, this microphone feature is completely optional when playing The Road Ahead.
But come on, it’s still a cool feature that not many games take advantage of from a gameplay standpoint.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead centres around Alex, a young college student suffering from asthma and struggling to survive the end of the world alongside her boyfriend, Martin. But the nightmarish extraterrestrial creatures stalking her aren’t the only threat she’ll have to contend with, as she must through the ruins of civilization in search of a safe haven for herself and her family.
A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead arrives October 17 for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series, and PC via Steam.
