Cool idea, but takes patience

The idea behind this game is pretty cool, and it is pretty well done. I just found it too difficult for me. It takes lots of practice to get used to moving around using only sound to guide you. Found myself getting frustrated and giving up a lot. Not because the game wasnt set up well, I just dont have the patience to put that much practice into a game.

An experience

This is a game where you really have to immerse yourself into it mentally to get the most out of. Dont be afraid to play this game in the dark and having headphones are a must. I found the total game time to be a little bit over an hour, I played in fifteen minute increments over a few nights. I also bought the app pack which was ten dollars so I cant comment on the money to value ratio but if this game is six dollars or less it is well worth it. There is no replay value as in no multiplayer and no scores. What youre playing for is an experience. With that said this game may or may not be right for you but I believe its more than worth it.

Love it! But one flaw

I absolutely loved Papa Sangre and Papa Sangre II even more and this game certainly doesnt disappoint. I love the whole sci-fi feel to it but its still extremely unnerving being in this kind of environment again. However, one thing Ive noticed is that the sound is much harder to discern and find than in the previous two games (especially when comparing it to Papa Sangre II). I died and got stuck quite often because I couldnt tell where the sound was coming from in relation to the background sound effects. If the 3D sound mechanic was fixed up a bit more, it would definitely be a little less frustrating to play.

Awesome buy

Great game worth every penny. Its super tense and a great idea. I recommend playing alone in a dark room with your eyes closed at night.

Love it!!

Great sounds! I could not stop playing this game until I finished it. The game is so realistic. Great job Somethin Else.

Amazing

Amazing experience. You only remember its a game when it asks you if you want to go to the next level. I did have a little bit of trouble discerning where the signal came from with all of the background noise. Other than that, its worth it!

Wonderful experience!

It is a shame that this game is barely known. I played most of audio games, and this is one of the best!

Good game but doesnt work with iOS 9

I loved this game on iOS 8, but its unplayable on 9. I hope the crashes are fixed soon.

Awesome Game!

Not working with iOS 9 though, keeps crashing as soon as it opens. Really hope they fix this soon

Not satisfied

The app keeps crashing over and over again. I tried deleting it and downloading again multiple times but it still does the same thing

Well I havent gotten a chance to play it

Mostly because I cant. Yes like a few others I cant load the thing. From other games I have played by somethin else I am sure it is a good game but a game not working on your device is a pretty big problem. Its the kind of thing that should be avoidable but keeps happening. I am not sure if the fault lies with Apple and not giving developers early access to their iOS to be able to work out any new bugs or if developers simply dont consider that a new iOS may render their game unplayable but whoever is at fault the fact remains that this is unacceptable.

The app keeps crashing

Every time I turn it on it gets to the menu page and crashes. Ive tried uninstalling and reinstalling but it still does the same thing.

Wish I could play

The app crashes as soon as I get to the menu. I was looking forward to playing :(

Support for ios9 please?

It crashes when I start the game

Doesnt work on the 6s force closes

I cant even pass the title screen.

Needs to be supported by ios9

I tried to play this game the other day and none of the levels worked. I tried a closing and reopening the app multiple times but nothing really worked. Very unfortunate since I havent played in a while. I was looking forward to it.

I guess the developer wants us to spend time and money elsewhere

Ive got a storage space. Ive got an iPhone 6. Ive got everything I need to play this game. Dont know why I cant get past the opening screen. Because its an aural game vs a traditional video game, there are even any visual prompts to tell you that the game isnt working properly. Was pretty excited to try it too.

Doesnt work on ios9

I wasnt able to play. "Movement will be available very soon" please fix this.

Doest work

All I see is "see with your ears" and nothing. It says movement control will become available but never does. Maybe the app doesnt support iOS 9? Refund please.

No longer functions

As of this writing this game no longer functions on ios9. This is too bad too as it is one of my favorite games. Im a big fan of audio only games and this company specializes in that, but this one no longer works.
