REAL DIARY ENTRIES
Based on real diary entries, police records and first hand accounts, The Quiet Things is an autobiographical game sharing the story of Alice, as she tries to make sense of the world around her. Step behind closed doors, in this immersive, narrative driven experience.
REVISIT THE 00's
Experience memorabilia and music of childhood in the 00s, from a uniquely British perspective. Alice found solace in music reflected in the games' soundtrack. Unlock memories tied to recognisable objects of the era.
EXPERIENCE GROWING UP IN THE SOUTH OF ENGLAND
Set in a familiar, but unremarkable region of Southern England. Visit familiar places that played witness to a series of events, that nobody could have predicted would unfold.
LIFTING THE STIGMA
The Quiet Things isn’t just a game, it’s about giving survivors a voice. Alice’s story is also many people’s stories, that never get heard. Dealing with themes around childhood abuse, self harm and suicide, we aim to tackle the shame and open conversations. We are stronger together.
