A Quiet Place: The Road ahead has a new microphone feature that makes the game even scarier

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead – the next game inspired by the film franchise of the same name – is set to include an optional microphone feature that allows your creatures to detect any real-life noises made by the player.

It’s called the ‘Microphone Noise Detection’ feature and it pretty much does what it says. Essentially, if players decide to turn on their microphone when playing The Road Ahead, any cough, sneeze, or sudden announcement from a loved one that it’s dinner time can give away the location of their in-game character (a young asthmatic college student named Alex). absent.

This, said developer Stormind Games, will help bring the “horror right into your room,” which sounds like more than enough to scare John Krasinskis.

The Road Ahead is an all-new story in the Quiet Place franchise. It’s due for release later this month on October 17th on Steam, Xbox Series X/S and PlayStation 5. If you’re interested, you can pre-order for £24.99/€29.99.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is one of several projects still in progress from Saber after the publisher was sold by Embracer earlier this year. Another upcoming release from the company includes Jurassic Park: Survival.
