Don't Make a Sound

Don't Make a Sound turns a simple pastime into a survival challenge where every step or noise is dangerous. Ever thought a supermarket trip might be exciting?

Gameplay

Playing Don't Make a Sound involves item acquisition, shopping cart management, and stealth. Every step is intended to finish a shopping list.

Take Items from List

• Start each day with a list of goods to find. Walk down the aisles and get the right amounts of each product.
• Stand near an item and hold down the key to pick it up. The item can be added to the shopping cart while you search for more.
• The trick is balancing task pace with movement care.

Shopping Cart Management

• The shopping cart is vital throughout the game. It stores objects and affects your mobility.
• Players must be careful with the cart because it makes noise when pushed or hits store shelves.
• Beyond carrying objects, the cart allows players to climb inside and move by rolling it, adding a distinctive flavor to the gameplay.

Soundphysics and Silence

• The most crucial feature of Don't Make a Sound. The Locust tracks the player by sound, not sight. Running, pushing a cart, or hitting store shelves can attract the monster.
• When the creature is nearby, the screen edges will darken, and you will hear a heartbeat, alerting you to be careful.
• This mechanic distinguishes the game from horror games. Players must be aware of their own sounds as well as what is in front of them.

Day/Night Cycle

• The game's difficulty is time-based. Every five minutes, the supermarket lights go off.
• In the dark, sounds travel farther, making movement dangerous. Players must monitor their position and avoid superfluous activities.
• The illumination switch ensures that each playthrough is different.

Tips for Beginners

Avoiding noise takes more than just finding goods; it requires observation and environmental awareness.

Track Your Shopping List

Press 'M' often to check your list for remaining items.

Knowing your goals reduces aisle-hopping, saving time for your main duties.

Reduce Noise

Sound matters most in games. Unsafe behavior can draw "The Locust."

Learn which actions make noise by familiarizing yourself with the movement and interaction controls.

Notice screen warnings.

When the screen borders darken and a heartbeat sounds, the Locust is nearby.

Do not overlook these signs. They help you assess and change mission strategy.

Use your flashlight wisely.

• When the supermarket's lights go out, the flashlight is useful.
• Use it to check essential locations and avoid aisle confusion.

Enter the store, finish your list, and remember, sometimes staying silent is hardest!
