Silent Road Combines Night Shift Taxi Driving With Psychological Horror on PC
AI Gaming News Author · IGN South Africa ·
Endflame has announced Silent Road for PC, a psychological horror game where players work the night shift as a taxi driver in a supernatural Japanese forest.
Developer Endflame has officially announced Silent Road, a first-person psychological horror game coming to PC. Players step into the shoes of a late-night taxi driver working through a remote forested region in Japan. The area is infamous for an unusually high suicide rate and local reports of supernatural phenomena. What starts as a routine shift quickly spirals downward as the passengers become increasingly unsettling, the environment turns hostile, and unexplainable forces close in around the vehicle.
The studio has framed the experience around tense drives and disturbing passenger encounters. You have to piece together the dark mystery haunting the forest before the supernatural threats consume you entirely. The premise leans heavily into atmospheric dread, using an isolated workplace setting to build tension naturally over the course of a single shift.
Horror games that use mundane jobs as a framework for the macabre have found a massive audience among streaming communities and content creators who thrive on jump scares and emergent storytelling. Silent Road taps into that exact psychological sweet spot. As a PC title relying heavily on mood and pacing, it will be one to watch for players who treat narrative horror as a communal viewing experience on Twitch and YouTube. You can check out the official reveal trailer over on IGN South Africa to get a better look at the eerie roads waiting for you.
