I really like the concept, but I had trouble understanding the dialog with the effects, and I had trouble understanding what the different sounds meant and how to progress.
The menu doesn't say the words out loud.
In the tutorial, it says "Follow the sound of my voice" but then the voice doesn't say anything else.
The very first part of the game, where you follow a noise, before the danger starts, was very fun! And I liked that there is a two second warning sound before you die!

A really cool concept in terms of audio execution, however the hitboxes for the bots seem very unfair. I tried the first real mission for what seems like 20 times, and, quite honestly, gave up after trying to move as the bot was getting quieter, or louder, and all the time, failing. A promising concept for sure though, and I hope there's more updates because the sound design in this is quite a lot of fun.
An interesting concept! But either the audio is not clear enough, or I am simply bad at it, because I am having a lot of trouble keeping track of where walls are and when exactly I would be in a robot’s field of vision. Admittedly I’ve never been good at games of sneaking around guards and timing things just right, but at least in this case I can take comfort in the fact that Talon of PG13 didn’t do that well on the stream, either.
I have to confess I do not like the voices. They are overdone to the point where I have trouble understanding them. I couldn’t even figure out for a while that the second and third options in the menu were “tutorial” and “credits”, for example. Robotic voices can be fun, but perhaps dial down the effects just a touch?
Really liked the voices and characters here, but also struggled with the tutorial and some of the audio cues - would have been great to have some of the audio sounds in the game also be in the tutorial.

Lunch GambitHi! Thank you for your game!
It's cool that there's just a black screen, I really like the work with the sound effects, voices & ambience!
Some feedback if you want:
Unfortunately, I couldn't get pass the tutorial. It is well explained and made, I loved your voices "Hellooooo" "Don't forget to interact with me!", I could reach you. But I wasn't able to achieve the main game tasks, I got lost and couldn't find my way.
There's also a lack of compatibility with non qwerty keyboards (it's easily fixed: you just have to use physical inputs).

Fish in the DarkHey !
Thank you for your feedback !
Imo, the rest of the game is easier than the start, I realized way too late in the Jam that there is a problem of difficulty even for a Die-And-Retry game,
And for the keyboard, as a AZERTY myself, I realise that it is harder with QWERTY game, (that's why I created a controller-compatibility) but unfortunately, there is no "physical inputs" in Unreal Engine. With the 5.3 they make a easier thing for input but I'm working with 5.2 ...
Anyway, thanks again for your feedback ! Hope you will give my game another shot ;)
Good luck !
(and ps : congrats for your game, it's awesome ;) )
