The Quiet Man’s First Producer Letter Says “Words Are Life”

During E3 2018, Square Enix revealed it is working on a new game called The Quiet Man. While details are still slim, we have learned a number of producer letters from Kensei Fujinaga, who has worked on games like Half-Minute Hero, will be released to offer additional insight into the game. The first letter has been released on Twitter and goes over the power of words.

Here is what Fujinaga, The Quiet Man’s producer, said in the first note.

““Words” are truly amazing. They possess the power even to change the world. This is undeniable. For me personally, words are as precious as they are valuable. That said, I believe we as humans are capable of connections that transcend words—for example, an infant need only to look into his mother’s eyes to know he is safe and loved. And in a world that overflows with cascades of words taken for granted, I can’t help but think it’s often difficult to realize such connections exist.

Words shape consciousness; indeed, some even say that “words are life.” But what if we were to cast aside such a life? What if somehow, we were able to understand one another through connections formed heart to heart, soul to soul, and could once again look into one another’s eyes and form a bond so pure? This concept lies at the core of The Quiet Man. Feelings that remain after words are abandoned, feelings that can be conveyed even without words—aren’t these the feelings that are truly important in this life?”

The Quiet Man is in development for the PlayStation 4 and PC.
