Line Games' new cooperative comedy-horror title, QUIET, has surpassed 30k participants just three days after its Steam playtest began. The game centers on cooperative gameplay where up to four players work together to escape a pursuing boss.

Line Games CEO Bae Young-jin announced on the 7th that the company's internally developed PC title, QUIET, has exceeded 30k participants in its Steam playtest.

QUIET has been running its Steam playtest since the 3rd. Within three days of launch, it attracted over 30k domestic and international participants, drawing significant user interest ahead of its official release.

Line Games unveiled the game's first stage during this test. Players must cooperate with teammates to evade the boss and overcome various crises, with support for both single-player and up to four-player co-op modes.

Improvements based on user feedback collected during the test are already underway. Line Games has applied patches to refine systems and add convenience features, and plans to continue incorporating user feedback to polish the game's mechanics and overall fun factor.

QUIET is a cooperative comedy-horror game about duck aliens who crash-land on Earth and must escape while avoiding the watchful eye of their landlady. The contrast between the cute duck aliens and the powerful, threatening boss creates an atmosphere that balances tension and humor.

The core mechanic revolves around noise generated during gameplay. Actions such as character movement, team interactions, and voice chat accumulate as noise; as the noise level rises, the boss becomes faster and more persistent in its pursuit. Deciding how quietly to move during cooperation is a key variable for survival.

Physics-based controls are another key feature. Items have distinct weights and sizes, and players must account for real-world weight when pushing or pulling large objects.

Upon its initial reveal, QUIET garnered global attention on social media for its concept, which combines adorable duck aliens with horror elements.

Information on how to participate in the QUIET Steam playtest and other game details can be found on the Steam store page, while gameplay videos featuring user reactions are available on the official YouTube channel.
