Quiet Stories aims to embrace the topics that other groups are too afraid to discuss. We share our thoughts on the games industry through think pieces and are working tirelessly to one day tell unique stories in games of our own. Some things are funny and some are meaningful. We embrace it all. You can contact us on Twitter (OurQuietStories), Instagram (Hashbrownaddict) or Facebook (Quiet Stories).

We’ll showcase a variety of genres and platforms. We’ll recommend the newest, most talked about games, and some older titles that you probably heard about but didn’t give the time of day to. The point is, we’ll have something to cater to everyone’s needs. Hopefully you’ll end up trying something new or discover a hidden gem.
