✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's unique audio-focused concept and free price point, noting it offers a refreshing take on gameplay that's accessible and low-risk. However, the navigation system draws consistent criticism, with many players frustrated by frequent wall collisions and inadequate audio cues to guide movement, suggesting the audio design needs significant refinement to make the core concept fully enjoyable.

Not recommended Jul 20, 2022
I got about 10 mins in and found it kind of boring, only because the navigation is annoying. It would be nice to have more sound cues to help guide you along other than footsteps, footsteps, ouch-wall. This concept could be fun but it would need a lot of attention to the audio design. I see this must be a school project, and for what it is, I say congrats.

A reasonable audiogame, any shortcomings can be overlooked due to the attractive price tag. Free. Wander around trying to make sense of the situation you have found yourself in after a minor prang in your car. It's all in the ears as you have to use audio cues to get your bearings. A good entry in to the world of audiogames as there is no risk, it's free, what's the worst that can happen? You don't like it uninstall and move along. You can play with your eyes shut, controls are via keyboard, nothing overly taxing. Worth every penny.
