When the Quiet Falls
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, Linux, and Android
Story:
After a long silence from our only friend, a message suddenly arrived. She invited us to spend time together, just like the good old days. Driven by nostalgia, we packed our things and set off, never suspecting that something else was lurking behind the silence of this place. You, the protagonist, come from a bustling metropolis and a decent environment to visit a quiet town. Upon arriving at the designated location, you find only an empty house and a chilling silence.
Your friend is nowhere to be found, and the only living soul nearby is her neighbor, Garst, the one she used to tell you about. His politeness seems overly strained, and his intrusive attention towards you begins to frighten you. Very soon, you will understand: you are the long-awaited guest here.

This really was a horror game, I've never been so scared, intrigued , and invested 😭. You really made me want to know about the backstories of all these characters. Even the MC's friend that was only mentioned for a moment. I enjoyed your storytelling and how you were able to create tension so quickly. I honestly had to turn off my volume to get through the game, the sound effects were just too good and I was too scared T-T. Excited to see what you come up with next
I love the art!.
this is sick
how do I get the good ending and end Garst life
Loved playing this so much Elliot is such a cutie,, the art reminded me a bit of killing stalking
I Tought the same! he looks like Sangwoo
Why can't I get the seventh ending of the game?😭I think I've been gentle enough with him.
Good game!
I'm glad he didn't cut mc's legs like characters do in similar games...
It's sad that we can't flirt with Elliot , he's cute (╥ ω ╥)
Also, I didn't understand one thing. Are Elliot and Garst in platonic relationship? Or do they sleep together? In that case, isn't he jealous? Is it polyamory? I'm dying to know...
It is clear that Elliot is a victim of Garst's abuse and grooming. He is also a teenager. He is cute because he is a child. Why would you want to flirt with a minor????
And no, I don't think there would be any jealousy, because both mc and Elliot are abused by him. Elliot even says how he was happy at first when we showed up, because he hoped Garst's aggression wouldn't be solely on him, and that it would be easier for him to manage.
Is it confirmed that he's a minor? He looks like an 18-20 year old boy to me, especially in the CG arts. Can't adults be cute??
Why can't victims be jealous of their perpetrators? There's Stockholm syndrome, after all
I loved this game so much. Reminded me a lot of BTD. Keep up the good work fa8nsik!
amazing game :D
Need a hook on the Apk for android
