The Quiet Live
A Closed Mondays hack for 2+ Players
Required for play:
2 standard poker decks (with different backs)
Many dice (at least 11, all of one kind — you choose)
Pens and paper
Your group has found a way into the gilded halls of the Shrikes. These bodiless creatures were born from the nightmares of humanity, when the doors to Hell were opened on Mars. Shrikes home in on sounds, especially speech. The terrible, beautiful halls of marble, gold, and velvet contain the knowledge to construct the ether-harmonic laser prototype required to defeat them once and for all, and save humanity and its voice...
If you can pass the trials.
The Quiet Live is a survival horror adventure where players must navigate a sprawling, card-based dungeon in near-complete silence. Speech isn't just discouraged: it is dangerous. Every word risks breaches, and every breach sets shrikes on your heels – or worse.
Choose from three difficulty levels: pageant, opera, or dernier cri.
