I am really enjoying this innovative game. I though playing by sound might be a bit of a gimmick but I can really see this working for a variety of games. The story (so far, I haven't finished) is compelling and some parts truly hair raising. The major downfall for me is the voice acting, as this game is almost entirely sound I would like to see some higher quality voice actors (which I understand comes with a higher budget) and some more rounded out sound effects. I can really see this style of game done with a bigger budget to much a greater effect, but for a couple dollars I can definitely recommend it!
