About Audio Infection

This game is fully playable with or without VR.

Introduction


Got tired after a rough day of work or feeling stressed out? Jump in the game for some nice music to relieve stress and have a blast. You won't have to worry about ammo or lives. We don't like them either, so you are essentially immortal with an unlimited amount of ammo. Best yet, there is no reloading!

The player has to fight against various enemies. Their density and the dynamic environment is based on the rhythm of the music that you are listening to. Based on your performance the enemies will become more aggressive as well, but don't worry, they will become less dangerous if things get too tough for you.
If simply a score won't cut it for you then you have the "mastery" statistic to keep track of. This indicates how well you performed in the game. Each hit taken will decrease it. Can you keep your personal high score while maintaining a high mastery?
Per music track you will be awarded with funds and experience, which can be used to unlock epic weapons.

Enemies


AI has plenty of enemies for you in stock! Starting out with a few "not-so-aggressive" infections that will try to hit you at any cost. They however might be a little bit too easy for the more experienced players. For them we have quite a collection of unique bosses in stock. Each boss has its own mechanics where it attacks the player in certain phases, figuring out the most effective method of destroying them is up to you. Once you have finished off certain bosses you will be able to encounter their miniature equivalents. Don't be deceived by their size, they are just as dangerous!

Rewards


Once you've collected enough funds and unlocked the required level you will be able to purchase and unlock weapons in the shop. Each purchase is final. Everything is only unlockable through the in game currency. While you play you will get more experienced. This will result in better scores per track as well as eventually the option to unlock better weapons, from which we offer you plenty... you can see holographic previews of the weapons and upgrades!
For every enemy you have destroyed our fancy system in the preparation room will keep track of it. You can see not only what it looked like, in the holographic preview, but you can also see it in action and the kill count you have!

VR Devices supported


This game supports HTC Vive with the standard Vive controllers. It also supports the Oculus Rift with the Touch controllers. Please do keep in mind that we know that not everyone has access to a VR device. With that in mind we made the game also fully playable without VR. You won't need to purchase the game twice in order to play it in VR and not VR. Just launch the game with your VR device or without your VR device and you're good to go. No need to pay twice for the same product. The game will detect whether you have VR or not and will automatically adjust the settings for it.

As a music enthusiast in general and as someone who loved playing games like AudioSurf, Beat Hazard & Swarmlake, I found this game appealing. I played without VR equipment, and that's, besides using either the Oculus Rift or HTC Vive, perfectly possible! The game offers a handful of visually pleasing areas where you start listening to (your own = possible) music, and try not to get infected; e.g. the lower your accuracy and/or level of mastery, the more damage you will take, and the more infected your audio gets = lower music levels, but the enemies and their battle sounds will then take over the place. So you'd better listen to some garbage music, or you will get annoyed if you fail at shooting ;properly! Speaking of which, the game offers 4 types of weapons and there's a royal credit bonus you can initially use to level up your gear already. Now, this was a nice present, but actually also more of a necessity; while having bullets/minigun @ the max. level 4, the rockets @ max. level 4 and the bombs @ max. level 2 (a bit more OP by default), not being able to catch up with all the enemies occurred frequently. The visuals to these weapons and ammo also are a bit standard and actu…

Игра "Audio Infection" - это крайне оригинальный и захватывающий эксперимент в жанре survival horror. Забудьте о визуальных ориентирах – здесь полагаться можно только на слух и тактильные ощущения. Атмосфера полнейшего ужаса и беспомощности окутывает с первых минут. Разработчики мастерски используют бинауральный звук, создавая иллюзию присутствия монстров прямо рядом с вами. Несмотря на кажущуюся простоту, геймплей требует концентрации и быстрой реакции. Шаги, шепот ветра, скрежет металла – каждый звук может предвещать опасность и требовать мгновенного решения. Сюжет хотя и минималистичен, но вполне справляется с задачей мотивации. Чувствуется, что игра рассчитана на повторные прохождения, так как разным игрокам гарантированно откроются разные пути и исходы. Тем не менее, "Audio Infection" не лишена недостатков. Отсутствие визуальной составляющей может отпугнуть некоторых игроков, а кривая сложности местами кажется неровной. Однако, если вы готовы бросить вызов своим чувствам и попробовать что-то принципиально новое в жанре хоррора, то эта игра – отличный выбор. Она точно оставит незабываемые впечатления и заставит вас по-новому взглянуть на возможности звука в играх.

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
