THE QUIET MAN

Developer Human Head Studios, Square Enix Publisher Square Enix Format PC, PS4

Release day arrives, and we dispatch an inquisitive email as to the whereabouts of Human Head’s new, deeply weird game, a soundless adventure starring a deaf protagonist. Review code has been delayed, we’re told. Weeks later, we’re still F5-ing our inboxes in anticipation of a long-overdue look at this astonishingly botched blend of The Room-level FMV and The Bouncer- level brawling. God knows we’re not paying for it.
