2023: the age of uber-powerful consoles, VR emerging, and AI threatening to take over the world. But Retrotainment Games (those behind Haunted: Halloween ‘86) still believe in the devices of yesteryear! Full Quiet is an ambitious side-scrolling shooter that is playable on the original NES, featuring an entire open world to explore. Full Quiet also releases on Xbox, Switch and PC.
Save Your Son
In Full Quiet on Xbox, Switch and PC, will see you play as a hardened soldier attempting to rescue his lost son. Things are quite literally lost in transmission, with the downed radio relay grid in need of restoration, if we are to achieve our goal and rescue the boy in one piece.
What follows is a tense and thrilling journey into a strange and deadly environment, complete with mysterious creatures, and terrifying bosses to defeat.
Aside from the action-packed, Contra-style shooting you’ll be getting involved with, Full Quiet’s more sombre moments will challenge your brain in a different way. Expect to be solving a ton of puzzles throughout your time with the game!
Ambitious Features!
Despite looking and sounding like a game very much grounded in the 1980s, the addition of a day/night cycle, upgradable skills and an expansive open world to discover makes Full Quiet a game to rival even the largest of modern releases.
Occasionally you will find a particular boss is just too darn difficult. What follows will be some exploration around the world, as you seek upgrades to your skills, and discover intel pertaining to your mission.
