From the studios of LINE Games comes a small but telling artifact of our moment: a game about alien ducks fleeing a terrifying grandmother, now opening its doors to the public for the first time. On August 3rd, the Steam playtest for QUIET begins — an invitation not just to play, but to participate in the shaping of something deliberately strange. In an era when horror and comedy increasingly find each other, QUIET asks what happens when the absurd becomes the arena for genuine tension.
