All Articles: The Quiet Man

Call of Cthulhu, The Quiet Man, Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum Session, more coming to PS Store this week

“If I say that my somewhat extravagant imagination yielded simultaneous pictures of an octopus, a dragon, and a human caricature, I shall not be unfaithful to the spirit of the thing. A pulpy, tentacled head surmounted a grotesque and scaly body with rudimentary wings; but it was the general outline of the whole which made it most shockingly frightful.”

H.P. Lovecraft’s Call of Cthulhu is now available to download for the PS4, and this adaptation of Chaosism’s tabletop RPG might make a nicely spooky companion for tonight’s Halloween festivities.

For more seasonally-appropriate thrills, Square Enix and Human Head’s The Quiet Man will be available to download for the PS4 beginning tomorrow. Taking place over the course of a single night, players will take control of a deaf man named Dane as he attempts to figure out why a singer was kidnapped by a “mysterious masked man.”

Other new PS4 launches of note this week are Taiko No Tatsujin: Drum Session, the next entry in Bandai Namco’s unique rhythm franchise, and Dream Daddy: Dadrector’s Cut, the dad-dating simulator that took the indie community by storm in 2017.

You can learn more about the rest of this week’s additions to the PlayStation Store after the break. (more…)

Square Enix and Human Head will release The Quiet Man on November 1

Posted on October 3, 2018 by John Scalzo

Square Enix and Human Head Studios have announced that The Quiet Man will be available to download for the PC and PS4 on November 1.

The Quiet Man takes players beyond sound to deliver an immersive story-driven cinematic action experience, which can be completed in one sitting. In a story that unravels across a single night, players take the role of deaf protagonist Dane as he fights his way to discover the motives behind the kidnapping of songstress Lala by a mysterious masked man.

The publisher and developer also confirmed that players who purchase The Quiet Man during its first two weeks of availability will receive a 10% discount, as well as special Limited Edition goodies on the PC (a set of seven desktop and mobile wallpapers) and PS4 (a Dynamic Theme and a set of eight PlayStation Network Avatars).

A new trailer for the cinematic game (styled after a Hollywood blockbuster and titled “Beyond Sound. Beyond Words.”) has been embedded above.
