About this game
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.

The Quiet Things Steam Release date - 18th June
Hi everyone! Thank you so much for your incredible patience while we dealt with issues on Steam. We did submit our build within timelines but due to the content it seemed like we triggered a fairly intense and lengthy additional review process where they were asking for lots of details about the content, and then asked for a full development build and then were asking about permission to represent people's likeness in the game, and every time they raised a query, we responded promptly but it took 3-5 business days to get a reply so very sadly cause delays to our anticipated release date last week.Thankfully the build is now approved and we can finally announce that our little game will finally be available on Steam on the 18th June (5pm UK time). WOOHOO!(Check out this amazing cake from our launch party!)We really can't wait for you all to play it,Alyx and the team at Silver Script(From our launch party! :D)Read full article on Community Announcements (Alyx Jones)Press Coverage
The BAFTA Games Awards pulls indie game's trailer at the last minute, citing "the wellbeing of all guests"
The developer of upcoming indie adventure The Quiet Things says the last-minute decision to remove their trailer from the BAFTA Games Awards showcase "was devastating," and left her in tears. Silver Script Games founder Alyx Jones explains that she was "so hopeful that this tiny indie game might actually be seen by a huge audience," but was told on her way to the nominees' party that it had been pulled from the show "due to its content." BAFTA says it "made the decision in relation to our event only and with the wellbeing of all guests as our priority." Read the rest of the story...

The Quiet Things so far...
2024 has been a huge year for us, we've now been working on the game for 2 years since receiving the Prototype Fund from UKGF back in January 2022. A lot has happened and changed in that time. Funding We've been lucky in the last 2 years to raise: -£30k from the UK Games Fund -£9k through Kickstarter -£50k through Innovate UK -$30k through ID@Xbox For a small indie team this has really enabled us to do a lot, even though it's a small budget compared to a lot of big AAA games, for us it's more than we ever could have imagined. Dialogue As a narrative focused game, dialogue is really one of the most important aspects of the game to get right. We record almost everything in person at a London Recording Studio (excpet for a few small phone conversation bits). We also work with 6ft From the Spotlight to make sure there is always a wellbeing facilitator present whenever we can afford it (some of our grants don't accept this as development but it's hugely important to me given the game content to have this for more challenging sessions). {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43983075/99efc244cfd99c6447fac8184aa5cb130c5608bb.png We've done around 65 hours of recording with 15 actors so far and we're still going! We're very lucky to work with such talented actors: -Emily Burnett (Hollyoaks, Metaphor: ReFantazio) as the lead role of Alice -Dave Jones (Baldur's Gate 3) as Alice's father -Iestyn Arwel (Right Now) as Patrick -Anthony Howell (Foyle's War, Elden Ring) as DC Wainwright -Elsie Lovelock (Warhammer 40k, Planet Coaster 2) as Miss Smith Music Another huge milestone was recording our soundtrack at Abbey Road Studios in London over 2 days back in August 2024. While I can't tell you just yet what some of the music is, there will be some exciting announcements about this very very soon, keep an eye (or ear) out! {STEAM_CLAN_IMAGE}/43983075/12f2ef99d544453ed9679ddc9b1374f34c95c21c.png Awards Despite the game not even being out yet, we've also amazingly been nominated for the Performance Spotli...Read full article on Community Announcements (Alyx Jones)AnnouncementsOfficial
