What is THE QUIET MAN™?
A single-player action game set over one night, following Dane, a deaf man investigating a singer's kidnapping. You watch live-action and CG scenes between fights, using punches, kicks, grapples, throws, and dodges. Most dialogue has no subtitles, leaving you to interpret the story with little distinct audio.
For you if...
- +you want a short game playable in one sitting
Not for you if...
- −you prefer frequent hands-on action to extended dialogue scenes
What players say
38% of 636 reviews are positive
Some players appreciate the idea of a deaf protagonist, but recurring complaints center on clumsy, repetitive combat and a story they find confusing.
