Ratings and reviews

I love the idea of this game. I can't wait to play the next part. But, the execution of this idea needs more work. The soundscape is made of loops - when the protagonist stops walking the footsteps stop mid-step and the sound is not completed. The voices do not changed based on context - inside/outside, large/small room. Add more sounds for a better ambience. Idk if there were visual cues for the controls, but I figured it out. Maybe make audio cues? All in all, the game was enjoyable. 4/5

Since it was entirely audio-based, it was an intriguing experience. It doesnt allow you to save progress, but thats because its such a short narrative it doesnt require saving. i really enjoyed the music at the end and wished it was also in the itunes store like the blindscape theme song was. I would love if more apps like this were created.

I really enjoyed this game, though it was quite short. But, definitely something I would listen to again. I liked how it wasn't just you listening , but also interacting with the story. Would recommend because of the great way the game was designed, too!
