The Quiet Things

Great story

The story is worth experiencing, and I really liked the atmosphere. Unfortunately, the constant search for the next trigger ruins the flow. The game has a lot of potential, but at its current price it could really use an update.

This is quite the ride... I played the demo some time ago because sadly I can relate to some things described in this narrative adventure. I streamed the entire playthrough in my Twitch Channel and, more than feeling crushed by everything that happens to Alice, we held each other's hands and felt compelled to understant her as much as we could. It was quite te experience. Sometimes it felt like a ton of bricks on our chest, sometimes like that silence understanding of someone who went through similar things even being born in a completely different place. These are stories that MUST be told and rarely are. So congrats and thanks, Alyx, for putting it out there. ---- Now talking about the navigation, there are a lot of subtitles sync problems. Also sometimes the interaction marks wouldn't work, specially in small items and I had to restart the game. Another issue I had was that I had encoding overload while using "Epic" settings and streaming through OBS, which is not supposed to happen in a simple game like this one. I ended up using "High".

Story and VA were amazing. I hope that some of the little bugs can be fixed with time. I got this game on sale and it's hard for me to defend the original price point even though I LOVED the story. There are lots of posters and items in the game that the textures and graphics aren't loaded in-additionally there are some caption glitches etc. Again, I want to emphasize the story and voice actors were really amazing and for that I recommend the game overall.

I would recommend this game. It's a beautifully crafted experience that explores some very heavy and deeply personal tops with care and compassion. While this story can be emotionally intense at times, I appreciated the way it encourages empathy, understanding, and meaningful conversations. I would suggest taking breaks if you find yourself feeling overwhelmed and giving yourself space to process the story at your own pace. Most importantly, if any part of this game resonates with something your carrying, remember that you don't have to carry it alone. There are people who care, people who listen, and support is available. Reaching out can make a difference. Overall, this is a powerful and memorable game.
