About the Game

Quiet is the Eyes is a 2D side-scrolling puzzle horror game where you play as a researcher who finds herself at the center of a twisted mystery. All your coworkers are gone and the halls are quiet, except for the pitter-patter of rain on the window. Explore a desolate laboratory as a creature stalks you, always watching. Run and hide as you solve puzzles and learn more about what happened to the facility and its secrets.

Don’t Get Caught!

Beware: the creature outside the window is always near. You can run and hide as the monster stalks you at every moment, but within the laboratory’s walls, no place is truly safe.

Uniquely themed puzzles

Warning: the laboratory has entered lockdown. Put on your lab coat as you explore the different wings of the laboratory, solving mind-bending puzzles to open doors and escape. Don’t forget, the monster is always watching.

Uncover the mysteries

Unauthorized Access: Figure out what's really been going on in the lab and the mysterious experiments they have been conducting. Will you discover the truth or succumb to the thing that lurks in the halls?

Quiet is the Eyes was created by Ally Guo and Rachel Perry as part of the University of Southern California’s Games program. It was made in collaboration with students at the Berklee College of Music: Ali Tahir, Xiaohe Zhao, and Sophia Drozd. The game aims to explore themes of unpredictability and the unknown—how they evoke apprehension yet bring forth a sense of relief amidst uncertainty.
