If you want to play A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead then you will need a quiet place of your own, as the game has microphone noise detection so the monsters can hear you in real life.

Microphone noise detection

Yes, the developers of the game have microphone noise detection as an option that means that if you make a noise, the monsters can really hear you.

The noise detection works when a player activates their microphone, giving gamers a whole new level of terror.

The game is based on the hit horror franchise, where the Earth is invaded by an alien race of creatures that are blind but make up for that with super-sensitive hearing – meaning that the remaining humans have to stay quiet to survive.

A Quiet Place: The Road Ahead is, according to the official blurb, “designed for fans of the films, horror games, and story-driven adventures alike. With nothing more than your wits and the simple tools you can scavenge, you’ll have to overcome the many treacherous challenges and obstacles that lie ahead, all while trying to survive the ever-present dangers that lurk all around you.”
