Loved it!

This was really great. I only wish there was more. I wanted to keep playing! I love the concept of seeing with your ears for this game since I am visually impaired. I already know how to do that! It was wonderful and fun. I wish I always had Benedict Cumberbatch telling me what to do. *Laugh*

Perfect!

I got this because it is voiced by Benedict Cumberbatch. I loved it for more than just his voice. It scared the crap out of me every time I would die, and frustrate me when I couldnt get past a part. However, it entertained me for 3 hours (about how long it took for me to beat it) and every time I died just made me want to play more. I will definitely play more to see if I can do it faster. I just wish there was more too it.

Almost incomparably worse than papa sangre 2

Bought it after playing papa sangre 2, it feels unimaginative gameplay-wise and the controls are arduous compared to gyroscope. Also on technical side of things: i just cant discern sounds when theyre in front of me, to the left or to the right is ok, but front or back...and no such problem in papa sangre2! So obviously its the games fault. I would be glad glad to pay less for a lower quality game but its assumed that both products are of the same value! Unbelievable!

Unbelievably short.

The sound design is a really cool and different idea than 90% of most games but, all the innovation is ruined by the incredibly short duration of the game. 5$ is just waaaay too much for the hour it took to complete(maybe an hour).

Worth to play

Super fun.

Wonderfully immersive...

A great gaming experience with a tremendous sense of ambiance. Docked one star only for a little wonkiness on the direct front sound location (Papa Sangre II does it better) and the very short length. Would love to see a sequel!

Somethings wrong...

This game sounded really cool, but when I first opened it on my iPod touch 5 the screen was totally black and I heard a mechanical humming/hissing. I flicked and tapped around on the screen until I must have hit something that got me to the main menu. Once I got there, half of the first option, "1. New Ears," popped up. It was huge (bigger than my screen,) and half of it wasnt even on my screen(it was centered to the right of my screen.) Flicking left brought me to the huge half of the 2nd option, then 3rd and so on. I tapped around and still cant access anything. It said that the game was compatible for iPod touch, so Im hoping this bug will be fixed. Come on guys, I spent money on this!

A New Kind of Game

This is an amazing game, it is impossible to tell what this game is by the pictures. In order to play this game you need good headphones, because the game is all about using sounds to navigate the Nightjar. This game is a joy to play, and a creepy game at that. This game is one of a kind, and a welcome addition to the App Store, which is infested with addictive, money craving games. What more can I say, it was worth the money, worth the time, and it was a great challenging game with one of the best British actors of all time.

HUGE ISSUE

This game is probably worth 5 stars if I could play it. Im rating 3 because of the audio, which is awesome btw. But you NEED to make it possible to play on the iPod 5. Im really frustrated right now with this

Wow.

This game is really cool. You cant see a thing, you rely only on your own ears to dodge enemies and get you through the level. I love a new challenge, and this game really delivers.

DO NOT DOWNLOAD ON IPOD 5G

The sound was fantastic as well as the concept, however it does not work on the iPod 5G. You can only see half of the screen and cant pass the walking stage because of it. Please dont ignore the reviews and waste your money like I did.

Poor Audio Direction System

I dont know why more people arent commenting about this, but the spatial audio system does not seem to work well. Objects in front of you are loud, and to the sides they make no sound at all. One would expect to hear a higher volume in the right ear for an object off to the right, but instead its dead silent. This makes the game very u immersive in my opinion. The storyline and voice acting is well done, though.

Help

The game doesnt even work i either want my money back or help to make it work

Im exhausted.

That was awesome. It was suspenseful and slightly intense. Loved it.

Cool but short

Audio is awesome, concept is really unique. But it is also so short that I completed it in 30min. And really easy too, so when I thought it should have gone for at least double the length, it ended. Maybe worth just 1 dollar.

Great game, but please update

Okay, its a wonderful game. Its fun, spooky, well-made, and just a joy to experience. But the latest update, :( Any good game (and I cant stress enough how good this one is) isnt without a few bugs. And the latest update introduced 2 unfortunate bugs: 1) that selecting the level to play is impossible 2) the pause menu is off-center. Now, admittedly, bug 2 isnt a big deal. But bug 1 is very unfortunate... I cant choose a level to play without restarting my game! Once again, I love the app. But it needs an update, fast.

Great title. But...

Awesome game but my screen is now messed up after the last update.... I cant see anything on my iPod touch now! Please fix it! That also happens with Papa Sangre II!

Good game but..

Its a good game but I just bought it and the start screen is zoomed in and so are all the levels. Might want to fix that since I cant get past the third level without being able to see the entire game...

Fun game!

It is a super fun game, well worth the money. If you like thinking and puzzle type stuff this game is for you
