Duplicate Keys & Support Ticket System

Hello everyone,

I've recently opened a new Support System which is available under https://bequiet.support.plugindb.de/

You can send us Feedback, questions, security issues or general problems there. I prefer the game discussions for "non private" questions or problems but for discretion you can use the ticket system.

For everyone who has received a duplicate key, just open a ticket within the "Problems" > "Product Key" category and you will receive your key within 48 hours since its better than emails. Please do not send a key request twice and always include the duplicate key! Everyone who has received a duplicate will get an item code to redeem under https://forms.plugindb.de/bequiet/ or via our app https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=de.plugindb.bequietwebmanagement

I am searching for people who assist me in the Ticket system! Please use a support ticket with the category "Applications" and enter a link to your steam profile too, I will choose a few supporters based on how helpful you are through the discussions.

Patch 34 (Act 1 [Core])

Hello everyone! I'm happy to announce that the core of act 1 is done! The story line needs to be implemented now but you will have about 1 hour and 30 minutes gameplay time from now on! A full list is below:


-- Additions
- Ending Animation
- Ending Sound
- New Sound effects
- New Objective -> Collect Toys
- Added more books to collect
- Light disables automaticly after 10 seconds after being turned on
- Removed Save Feature

-- Fixes
- Fixed some hitboxes
- Fixed Objective system bug
A few more but I dont remember them as they were small and only performance affecting.

Act 1 Progress

Hello everyone! In this announcement I would like to tell everybody the progress of Act 1. The good news are, the core is almost done (collect items, activate shrine etc.) but the story line is not integrated yet (no cutscenes, no story at all right now). Hopefully the story line integration is done until the release. Currently you have to find keys to specific rooms to unlock quests. One of the quests is to collect books and bring them to the shrine of HER baby. After that you have to find the baby's toys and bring it to the shrine too (this part is already done, now to the part that isn't finished), a few cutscenes will play with these sacrifices and Act 1 will be finished. The current gameplay time with the toys is about 1 hour and 15 minutes.


To the streamers and beta testers: The game is now ready to stream as in the current build the time is long enough and the content entertains viewers to give a little peak into the game, therefor the NDA is invalid now.

Voucher Tool Bugs

Due to alot of user feedback on the voucher tool (not working etc.) i've made a web version of the tool which is accessible here: https://forms.plugindb.de/bequiet/ This tool has been tested multiple times and it does work.

Voucher Tool Update

Hello everyone! This announcement targets the ingame voucher tool which doesn't work anymore due to network bugs. The new tool is available on startup or in the Game Folder under "voucher/voucher.exe". The new tool is only a temporary solution.
