About The Quiet Apocalypse
• 7-10 hour story. Unlimited opportunity for exploration when the story is finished.
• Explore over 400km² of stylised wilderness during this hardcore walking challenge.
• Use your compass and map to navigate towards your objectives in 60 handcrafted story missions.
• Find secrets and solve puzzles, as you discover the backstories and histories of 45 of the most unique residents of the Fairborne Mountains.
• Delve into 45,000 words of original narrative, contained within 150 diaries, books, letters and journals. Piece the story together, to unravel a mystery that has lain dormant for fifteen years.
• Trek through rolling hills and moorland, dense temperate forest, towering canyons, arid deserts, and long dormant volcanic mountains, all of which are beautifully lit by a dynamic day/night cycle.
It’s fifteen long years since the last child was born in the mountains. One morning, a carrier pigeon arrives at Doc Hendersen’s farm with a message. The message comes from Communion Creek, an isolated settlement in the far north of the Fairborne Mountains. The news is amazing, a woman in Communion Creek is pregnant, and due to give birth. In order for the baby to have any chance of survival, Doc knows he has to inoculate the child as soon as it is born. Doc immediately sets out on the arduous trek, fully aware of the immeasurable value of the child. But rumours are hard to suppress in the mountains, and dark forces begin to close in…. Join your father in an adventure-based walking simulator set in a near future period, as humanity is experiencing the final stages of its pre-extinction decline. You'll be navigating and traversing punishing terrain, often in difficult weather, with only a compass and your wits to guide you, but all the struggles will be worth it, when you see what's over the next hill.
'The Quiet Apocalypse' uses landscape streaming to present over 400km² of stylised wilderness at solid framerates, and without the use of loading screens. Landscape streaming can cause occasional brief jitters in frame rates as data is loaded and unloaded. This is highly dependent on individual hardware configurations, so please bear this in mind if you feel that occasional interruptions to steady frame rate may hamper your enjoyment of the title. We always recommend that 'The Quiet Apocalypse' is run from SSD storage.

Alright. [i]The Quiet Apocalypse[/i] is done and dusted. I really enjoyed this game. It is the epitome of a walking simulator, which I generally enjoy, and it's the type of game that really has you thinking about it after you wrap it up. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3252553208 This is a game that's all about the story and the journey to uncover the various pieces that make the whole picture clear. I will say that this is also obviously a product of living through COVID, even if it possibly didn't begin development that way. Not really sure how far back this was being written, but yeah. The story is multi-faceted, where there are a few distinct storylines that all come together to provide a very nuanced tale of impending manmade or human influenced doom being preempted by a naturally occurring extinction event. Which was really, really cool. I found myself easily picturing and hearing the people being described in or actually writing the notes that convey the story throughout. In fact, it was easy to forget that this game has no voice acting, so evocative was the writing and so detailed were the notes you find on your journey. It's rare that the writing …14 found this helpful
First of all, I don’t understand why the large map is one of the advertised things of this game, when most of it is just empty and not particularly good looking. After walking all over the map for 8+ hours now, the map is mainly boring and ugly. At first the point of interest are fairly “close” together, meaning you are only walking a few minutes to get from point A to point B. Eventually these distances grow significantly until you are walking 20-30 minutes (or more of you get lost). If it was at least possible to move quickly through this emptiness but, no. You can “run” but it only makes you ever so slightly faster, it is just a pain. You also randomly stop running sometimes. The path you take in this game is badly designed. Not only are some of the locations way too far apart, often you are tasked with climbing a mountain but in order to do that you have to walk around it because you can only go up from the backside, adding more distance you have to cross. Or you have to take detours to get down a steep hill or because a random piece of path is not walkable etc. If there was ANYTHING to see while walking, I wouldn’t even be mad but there is only the same tree hundreds of ti…3 found this helpful
The question. Is this game fun? I don't know. Honestly. I've given it a shot, but so far it seems more of a frustrating walking simulator/asset sampler with afterthought puzzles than a fun and engaging game. The price is right. I originally was sold on the pretty views before playing, but with many mountains that look like they were made using shogun total war map editor......you can't just pull the normals up and then call it a day. The puzzles are either too easy or not enough clues at all, the story is like chasing a ghost who likes to write. Voiceovers would have been nice. The sky and lighting are good though. Most of the game is played with two buttons: shift+W... This type of game is hard to pull off, and while there aren't exactly enough of these types of games where you can just roam around without being attacked every minute, this one seems to miss the mark for me. I'm too far into the game not to finish it, though when I set it down, I don't see myself coming back to it.
Only played a few minutes, but it seems okay I guess. Not a genre I am real familiar with, but it does seem to lead one by the nose, it would be more fun if I could somehow figure out what to my myself. The visuals are nice, the sound is nice, the story is interesting. An easy one thumb up.
I had a bit of trouble combining items and would like to see some additional instructions for doing that. Nonetheless it's a good game and I enjoyed playing it. [spoiler] I hope the developer will make a sequel where Alex gets back together with his family. [/spoiler]
I wanted to like it, but it had a couple problems like having no sprint the physics being kinda silly. The game was also really boring like more then other games in the genre. It also didn't resister that i did some of the things. the game looks nice and the video really hooked me. but i'm just a bit disappointed.
