What is in the QUIET demo

Sneak into Grandma's mansion as an alien duck, take what your crew needs and get out without making too much noise. Talking and bumping into things can put the whole group at risk, so QUIET makes communication part of the problem.

2 modes

mansion and Duck Out

Microphone

required

The public demo includes Grandma's Mansion in Classic Mode and Duck Out, an arena minigame where the cooperation gives way to knocking each other off a platform. The main game description supports one to four players and requires a microphone.

LINE Games Corporation develops and publishes the game. Its announcement sets the demo launch at 22 October, 01:00 UTC, which is 03:00 in Berlin; Steam's demo metadata instead labels it 21 October. Both are in this edition's week, but the official unlock time is used here. A 26 October build update adjusts difficulty and fixes multiplayer and lobby issues. No exact demo-end date or save-transfer rule is confirmed.

Player reception and who this demo suits

A reliable aggregate for the separate demo app could not be verified. This does not mean the demo has no reviews, and the full game’s review label is not used as a substitute. This profile is based on official descriptions, not a Crit Pick playthrough.

Try the demo if

  • You enjoy coordinating a noisy, easily panicked group in co-op horror.
  • You want to try a mansion escape and a separate competitive minigame.

Maybe skip it if

  • You cannot or do not want to use a microphone.
  • You want a quiet solo building game rather than horror and group chaos.

Full-game release and sources

Full game planned for Q1 2027. Demo availability was checked on 27 October 2026; a listed download does not guarantee that a build will remain available indefinitely.
