Coming from developer Endflame, Silent Road is a first-person psychological horror that will allow players to descend into Japan’s most-haunted night drive. If you were looking for a game that felt like Silent Hill x Fatal Frame, then step into the driver’s seat, ferry strange passengers, and confront the mysteries that linger in the forest.
In Silent Road, you play as a new taxi driver in a remote region of Japan, haunted by a long history of suicides. Carry the local passengers through the night shift and watch closely. You never know what might unfold beyond the windshield… or in the back seat of your taxi.
“We’ve always loved Japanese horror – the quiet tension, the atmosphere, the way it stays with you long after it ends. Silent Road grew from that love”, said Endflame co-founders Laura Ripoll and Guillem Travila. “Our indie journey began with the J-Horror title Ikai, and over time, we’ve found ourselves drawn back to the unique thrill of horror. Silent Road is our way of embracing that call, pouring our hearts into crafting a frightening experience that also carries something deeper beneath the surface. Sharing this return to horror with the world is both exciting and terrifying.”
Silent Road – Key Features:
- Japanese Horror: Experience a region shaped by tragedy, inspired by legends surrounding Japan’s most haunted forests.
- Night-Shift Driving: Navigate abandoned highways, mountain passes, and silent village streets as tension builds inside the taxi.
