A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead - Shhh... They Might Hear You!


In a world where silence is survival, the "A Quiet Place" franchise has captivated audiences with its unique blend of suspense and horror. The latest installment, "A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead," promises to take us on another nerve-wracking journey through a world where even the faintest sound can spell doom.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is set in the same universe as the films, and actually takes place after the latest Day One film and the first installment of the movie franchise. Just like one would expect, this game's story is parallel with new characters and locations. The game doesn't feature any people or places from the films which allows for a fresh take on the adventure instead of being there after seeing that... already. What it shares with the movies is the emphasis on family facing this nightmare together will various ups and downs as they navigate a post-apocalyptic world overrun by deadly creatures known as Death Angels (if you didn't know). These extraterrestrial beings have an acute sense of hearing, making even the slightest noise a death sentence. Do you have what it takes to survive if the controllers in your hands?

The "A Quiet Place" franchise has garnered a massive following, thanks to its innovative concept and masterful execution. Directed by John Krasinski, the films have been praised for their intense atmosphere, compelling characters, and heart-pounding suspense. The unique premise of a world where silence is the key to survival has struck a chord with audiences, making it a standout in the horror genre and you're thrown into this world with sound designed to actually challenge you.

Why Watch the Movies Before Playing the Game?

If you're planning to dive into A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead, it's highly recommended to watch at least one of the movies first (Day One is recommended). Here's why:

  1. Immersive Experience: Watching the movies will give you a deeper understanding of the world and its rules. You'll appreciate the game's attention to detail and the eerie atmosphere that mirrors the films.

  2. Character Connection: Familiarizing yourself with the characters in the film and their struggles will make the game more emotionally engaging with its original characters. You'll feel a stronger connection to the story and the stakes involved.

  3. Spooky Fun: Knowing the backstory and the nature of the Death Angels will dial up the spooky fun. You'll be more cautious and aware of the dangers, making the gameplay experience even more thrilling.

A Word of Caution

When playing the game, remember to be as quiet as possible if you're using the optional 'microphone noise detection' feature. The Death Angels will respond to any noise you make, so keep your voice down and avoid any sudden movements. If they hear you, they haunt you. Trust me, you don't want to accidentally kick an empty can too hard while playing – it's never been more terrifying!

If you have an audience gathered around the TV, grab some popcorn, turn off the lights, and immerse yourself in the world of "A Quiet Place." Just remember to keep it down – you never know what might be listening.

Embrace the Spooky Thrills of “Dead Season” This October!


As the leaves turn golden and the lights grow longer, gamers everywhere are gearing up for the spookiest season of the year. October delivers the spooky fun games that some gamers look forward to year after year. Dead Season is set to deliver chills and thrills, making it the perfect addition to your Halloween gaming lineup. Your mission is to guide a group of survivors to safety while upgrading their skills as they fight their way through hordes of zombies that react to every sound. Can you escape the grip of the outbreak?

Dead Season is a survival horror game that plunges players into a post-apocalyptical world packed with zombies and eerie environments. Developed by Snailbite, Dead Season pulls you in with detailed visuals, a spooky storyline, and heart-pounding gameplay.



October is obviously synonymous with all things spooky, making it the ideal month for developers to release horror-themed games like “Dead Season.” Here’s why we appreciate publishers timing their releases for this season:


  1. Atmospheric Alignment: The eerie ambiance of October, with its dark evenings and Halloween festivities, perfectly complements the chilling atmosphere of horror games. Playing “Dead Season” during this time enhances the overall experience.

  2. Seasonal Excitement: Gamers are more drawn to horror content in October, seeking out experiences that match the spooky spirit of the season. This includes some gamers who don't normally prefer to play horror-based games.

  3. Community Engagement: October is a time when some gaming communities come together to celebrate horror games. From streaming marathons to themed events, the release of games like Dead Season during this month allow for shared excitement and fun fright among players & their audience.

    Here's a "How To" on linking your Amazon to Twitch Accounts.

  4. Marketing Synergy: The Halloween season provides ample opportunities for creative marketing campaigns that just feel out of place during other times of the year (unless they fall on Friday the 13th). From spooky trailers to themed merchandise, publishers can leverage the Halloween hype to generate buzz and drive sales because it just makes sense.


Dead Season is set to be a standout title this October for fans of turn-based strategy games, offering gamers a chilling escape into a world of horror and survival to get the survivors to safety. Most horror games aren't normally served up in a turn-based strategy game, so it adds another audience to the mix. So, gear up, turn off the lights, and get ready to face the undead in Dead Season!

Is the Google TV Streamer (4K) worth a gamers money?

Is the new Google TV Streamer (4K) worth the $99.99 price tag? Let’s check the specs and find out why this Google Home device may or may not be worth your time and your dime as a gamer!

Hey there, tech enthusiasts! It’s your girl Sophima, bringing you the latest scoop on tech with the Google TV Streamer (4K). So, is this sleek little streaming gadget worth your hard-earned cash? Let’s dive into the specs and see if its worth more than a glance.

First off, let’s talk about the design. The Google TV Streamer (4K) is cute! With its compact dimensions of 6.4 x 3 x 1 inches and a weight of just 5.7 ounces, it’s a perfect fit for any entertainment setup. Available in chic colors like Hazel and Porcelain, it blends seamlessly with your decor. Plus, it’s made with at least 65% recycled plastic, so you can feel good about your eco-friendly choice.

Now, onto the specs. This device supports up to 4K HDR at 60 frames per second, delivering stunning visuals with Dolby Vision, HDR10, HDR10+, and HLG. The audio experience is equally impressive with Dolby Digital, Dolby Digital Plus, and Dolby Atmos support. With 32GB of storage and a 22% faster processor than its predecessor, you can enjoy smooth navigation and quick app switching.

Connectivity? Check! The Google TV Streamer (4K) comes with Wi-Fi 802.11ac, Bluetooth 5.1, and an Ethernet port for uninterrupted streaming. It also features USB-C and HDMI 2.1 ports. The cable is not included, so if you don't have one just add it to your cart to enjoy the 4K visuals of this device. And let’s not forget the smart home integration with Matter and Thread support, making it easier than ever to control your smart devices right from your TV.

Just so you know, this device can also play Xbox Game Pass Ultimate, but it requires a bit of setup since there isn't an official Xbox Game Pass app for Google Play Store for Gogole TV. This isn't the desired route for anyone who isn't comfortable going off of the beaten path, so stick with what Google has to offer if you're uncomfy with this. On the otherhand, you have options like the Amazon Fire Stick 4K Max for nearly half the price at $59.99, and that has Xbox Game Pass at the ready + Luna Gaming! Add an Xbox controller to the party, and you're gaming with the Fire Stick for a combined price similar to Google's TV Streamer. I get that their focus revolves around the Google Home ecosystem, but there's a little gamer in all of us, so at least present what's available for our enjoyment!

So, what do you think? Is the Google TV Streamer (4K) worth the $99.99 price tag or did they miss the mark? That's all I have for now, but make sure to high five someone's grandparent, don’t forget to bookmark SDGT Entertainment for more. And as always, don’t forget to… game on!
