How does you game fit the theme?
My game is an audio-based horror game that put players in dangerous locations They need to use their hearing abilities to avoid monsters and solve puzzels, he also not alone, because for the whole game they have a "trusty" companion.

Did you write all the code and made all the assets from scratch?
Yes, I write all code by myself. All assets are made by me apart from a few free sounds.

Really uniq idea. But it turned out to be too complicated and subsequently boring. Cool video on youtube :)

Submitted

Very nice idea. The first level is kinda long but otherwise great game!

Developer

Thanks! Great to hear you enjoy it! ^^

Submitted

Very innovative game. Great work on setting the atmosphere and making this very unique experience !

Developer

Thx, I'm really glad so many people like my idea! ^^

Submitted

This was so cool and such a unique take on the horror genre! The first level also felt a little long, but maybe I wasn't playing it well (I was just trying to rush through because I am terrified of horror games lol). I really like that you changed the mechanics throughout the levels too, and overall was just such a well done atmosphere.

Thanks love to hear u enjoy my game! ^^

Really interesting and immersive gameplay! The audio is great and was designed in way which gives the player many informations, such as when he hits a wall or is close to the exit.

I tried to play it until the end, but I rage quitted at level V, because the monster just charges at you and screams very loudly, and going sideways leads you nowhere, so maybe it's bugged or I was doing something wrong. :(

Nonetheless, that is a really great and creative entry, congratulations!

Thx I'm really glad you like it! I also played your game today on stream. I and the chat love it, so I'm very happy that the creator of such a fun game liked mine too! ^^

And about the 5th floor, it is not bugged it's just a bit hard I think after gameJam I will make an update that will make some parts of the game a bit easier, thx for the feedback! :)

Submitted

Really? That's nice to hear!
About level V, now that I think about it, my theory is that the issue is that the wall collision sound doesn't play when you hit it while going sideways? I felt like I wasn't moving there, so maybe I was walking into the walls for multiple minutes this whole time!

Developer( 1)

Hmm, I will check that, thx! ^^

Submitted

Amazing game. The concept and idea is so unique and great! I've never played a game where the audio is the most important part of the whole gameplay. It's way scarier than a normal horror game when you can't see anything and have to purely rely on sounds around you. 

Definitely one of the best games I've played on this Jam yet! Good job!

Developer

Thx, great to hear that!

This is a totally unique take and I really like it

Developer

Thx, I'm glad u had fun!

Submitted

Damn really cool concept but the audio thing didn't really work for my headphones. Innovation and theme was spot on. Good job!

Submitted

Oh, it’s very interesting experience. Great job! One little issue. My immersion was broken by the hint of control appearing on screen when I played with closed eyes.

Cool concept! I really don't like horror games so I did not play for a long time because I was afraid there would be jumpscares but it's a nice idea and a cool approach for a game!

I would love to see what the level looks like with the lights on, haha

Developer

Thx for the feedback! If u want to see the levels with lights on add me on discord, and I will send u some screenshots. :)

this game had: great game design, innovation and audio incorporated the theme well innovated and was fun however the graphics were... lacking (im just joking about the graphics I know thats the point of this game :P)

Developer

Good to hear that u had a good time playing my game! :D

Submitted

This was totally unexpected and awesome. Incredible game design, audio and dare I say… graphics!

Developer

Thx! I'm really glad u have fun playing my game! And about graphics, did u mean the ending?

Submitted (1 edit) ( 1)

Oh, I didn’t play until the end, I’m a bit averse to horror genre in general. I think they scare me.

very creative game very good sound design

Developer

Glad u like it!

The audio was great and well made.  I didn't find this game to be that appealing to me, but that's just me i suppose. Cool game my guy!

Developer( 1)

Thx for the feedback! ^^

Quite enjoyed it, it is fun to play something different. I really got emerged  into the spatial sound

Developer

I'm glad u had fun!

Submitted (1 edit)

It's quite an interesting concept. if I would've lost my sight this is the game I'd be playing no doubt! Really really well polished audio design! 

Once I realized everything would be dark I did simply keep my eyes closed because, well, the game told me to. That also meant I missed the "press space bar to run" text pop up on my play through. 

Developer

Well I heard that common from my friends who play it, I was thinking it is just a cool-sounding replacement for a "new game", but I see many peoples miss read that, so maybe I will change that in the future. Thx for the feedback and I hope u enjoy playing my game! ^^

love the idea but i think the snapping sound is a little slow maybe make it go faster if im looking at it so its easier to play, its very hard to play but it was a new and fun experience, loved the concept bro!

Submitted( 1)

pretty cool concept but it can get boring quickly and its a bit hard to play

Developer

I think that fair, however I also thinks it's getting less boring later with new game mechanics, however thanks for feedback ^^
