Haha! Terrific idea! Sadly I couldn't get my laptop mic to work so could not test the sonar.

Ah nuts, yeah that really does break the game. Thanks for taking a look!
I considered adding in a space bar replacement, but feared most people would then avoid the use of the mic and it's super integral to the experience.
If you download the desktop version, it'll allow you to change your input device, but when you play in the web you're stuck at the mercy of whatever input device your browser thinks is allowed.
This is pretty great. I felt ridiculous yelling ping and that just makes it all the better.
Great work!

The Vampire's LairThis is Great! It was very fun and when you win or fail it shows all the people with the names, it's a very nice touch!

Chaotic DNA Multiplier 2K19Absolutely incredible! At first I thought I'd never yell to get the sonar going, but a few ghosts in and I was desperately yelling ping like my life depended on it. Fantastic work!

Surprise MechanicsYeah, I totally didn't get asked what was wrong with me by my wife for screaming ping as I ran from underwater ghosts. I had fun with this! Thanks for making me look like a fool. Awesome sound fx too.

Be Kind. Rewind.The sounds were definitely rewarding. They kind of get addictive too...the more you have in there, the better the game feels and the more you want to add...
The sounds I used are freely available:

They're perfect for jams!
The voice system was phenomenal! Loved the sonar idea, and I ended up waking up other people in the house. Fantastic, nice challenge. Cheers!

Carrying CapacityGreat writing! The concept was very cool and atmospheric--more so than I expected. I can tell you put a lot of work into this.

Dining with DarwinReally enjoyed this one, the microphone mechanic is fun to use and works well and I like the simple (yet sad!) story you've made. I genuinely felt bad at the end! Great work!
