Piece the story together, to unravel a mystery that has lain dormant for fifteen years. • Trek through rolling hills and moorland, dense temperate forest, towering canyons, arid deserts, and long dormant volcanic mountains, all of which are beautifully lit by a dynamic day/night cycle. It’s fifteen long years since the last child was born in the mountains. One morning, a carrier pigeon arrives at Doc Hendersen’s farm with a message. The message comes from Communion Creek, an isolated settlement in the far north of the Fairborne Mountains. The news is amazing, a woman in Communion Creek is pregnant, and due to give birth. In order for the baby to have any chance of survival, Doc knows he has to inoculate the child as soon as it is born. Doc immediately sets out on the arduous trek, fully aware of the immeasurable value of the child. But rumours are hard to suppress in the mountains, and dark forces begin to close in…. Join your father in an adventure-based walking simulator set in a near future period, as humanity is experiencing the final stages of its pre-extinction decline. You'll be navigating and traversing punishing terrain, often in difficult weather, with only a compass and your wits to guide you, but all the struggles will be worth it, when you see what's over the next hill. 'The Quiet Apocalypse' uses landscape streaming to present over 400km² of stylised wilderness at solid framerates, and without the use of loading screens. Landscape streaming can cause occasional brief jitters in frame rates as data is loaded and unloaded. This is highly dependent on individual hardware configurations, so please bear this in mind if you feel that occasional interruptions to steady frame rate may hamper your enjoyment of the title. We always recommend that 'The Quiet Apocalypse' is run from SSD storage.
