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.

FTS: Introducing Ghost Face® – Hunt: Showdown 1896’s Stealthy New Hunter – Out October 24!

 

In a new collaboration, Hunt: Showdown 1896 partners with Fun World to bring Ghost Face® to the supernatural world of Hunt… just in time for Halloween

FRANKFURT, Germany  Oct. 21, 2024  Hunt: Showdown 1896 has partnered with Fun World to introduce Ghost Face® to the gunslinging world of Hunt. The "Ghost Face® RampageDLC includes one Hunter (Ghost Face®), two weapons – the Hush (Frontier 73C Silencer) and Whisper (a Bornheim No. 3 Silencer), and a tool – Life Taker (a knife). The included weapons are silent, offering players an edge in fast-paced, close-quarters combat, which Hunt is famous for.


"Ghost Face® Rampage" retails at $9.99/€9.99 and will be available on Steam, Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation 5 on October 24.

The character was designed to fit into the 19th century world which Hunt takes place in. This is a unique take on Ghost Face® with a never-before-seen design. Stefan Heinrich, Lead Art Director for Hunt, comments further:

“The character design was interesting to work on as it had to fit into the gritty, dark corners of the 1890s setting that Hunt is famous for. For example, the iconic mask is now a hand-carved wooded mask, weathered and cracked, a tattered, battle-worn duster replaces the robe, and to complete the look, leather holsters and gear have been added, giving him the tools of a 19th century Hunter while maintaining his iconic style. We hope Ghost Face® & Hunt fans enjoy the new DLC as much as we enjoyed designing it.”

This is a first horror collaboration for Hunt: Showdown 1896 and the perfect accompaniment as the game moves into celebrating the spooky season with its Harvest of Ghosts in-game event, going on now until Nov. 25, 2024.

Purchase the "Ghost Face® Rampage" DLC October 24 and dominate the shadows during Hunt: Showdown 1896's newest Halloween event!

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!




 Dead Season is rated M for Mature (Ages 17+)!

Camp Sunshine Opens Its Gates To Consoles This October! (PC/XB/PS/NSW)


Camp Sunshine: A Haunting Adventure Awaits This October

October is here, the season of spookiness is ushered in with thrilling games like Camp Sunshine. Originally a cult hit on PC, this blood-soaked, jump scare-filled game is now making its way to consoles. Players are tasked with solving the mystery of the murderous bear costume-wearing killer.

Camp Sunshine launches on PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, Xbox Series X & S, and Nintendo Switch today! This announcement comes from Fossil Games and Hound Picked Games, who are excited to bring this horror experience to a wider audience.

The Only Thing To Fear Is Fear Itself

In Camp Sunshine, players take on the role of Jez, a kid expecting a fun summer camp experience. However, Jez wakes up in the middle of the night to find the campgrounds stained with blood and a relentless killer on the loose. Survival becomes a nightmarish game of cat and mouse, where every shadow hides danger.


No Tears, Please. It’s A Waste Of Good Suffering!

Jez must uncover the twisted mystery behind the Summer Camp Slasher. As the camp’s blood-soaked history unravels, the truth becomes more terrifying than the killer’s rampage. Confronting these horrifying secrets is the only way Jez can hope to survive the night of terror.

Paul, one half of Fossil Games, expressed their excitement: “We couldn’t be more thrilled to announce that Camp Sunshine is finally making its terrifying debut on consoles. Back in 2016, when our little two-person team unleashed it on Steam, we were blown away by the incredible response. Now, bringing our love letter to 1980s slasher horror to a whole new audience feels like a hauntingly perfect dream come true. The game was born out of our obsession with horror, and we can’t wait for players to dive into the nightmare once again!”
