Apotheorasis • Lab of the Blind Gods

I can't say this "gameplay" is very unique, but there aren't many similar games in the current gamedev. It was very interesting to go through the story. Also, if you know English at least at a basic level, I think you can give it a try, since English is not very difficult here. Definitely want more!

If you've ever wanted to be a bat with a gun and shield, this is your game. I have no complaints with the difficulty, though I do think you should be given a little more clear instructions. Very good game 👍

Only bad thing about this game are some sections not being explained very well and its length. On my first time playing the game took me around 30 minutes according to the game itself, my steam time is as in the review, my estimations are that it took around 70 minutes. There is some replay value if you are a completionist (good luck btw) or just like to challenge yourself. My headphones are Beyerdynamic DT 770 PRO (80ohm)s and I use an equaliser to boost the volume (by about 4dB), among other things, but some sections of the game were too quiet. Nothing that made the game unpleasant to play but enough that I was straining to hear voices or know where I needed to go at times. Every person's experience will be different regarding atmosphere and world for obvious reasons, though personally I found it really easy to immerse myself with the descriptions and sounds the game gives. The humour is quite charming but there isn't too much of it. Overall, It's worth giving a shot. Try the demo and see if you like it first. You want to play this multiple times to get the best value for your money, even then, wait for a sale before buying. Quality of the product is hard to complain about otherwise!

Finally, true realism in graphical fidelity. More seriously, this is a fascinating project and I quite enjoy it. Unfortunately the gameplay was a little cumbersome near the end, specifically when there were several overlapping audio queues and it was unclear what I needed to do, so I also spent a lot of time restarting from checkpoints and playing trial and error, which is really not great.

When I first saw this game, I thought "How hard could this be, its just a sound based game". Turns out I couldn't be anymore wrong. This game takes a simple premise and pushes the boundary on what we think we can do. This is one of the best games I have ever played and presents simple controls that work well with the format of the game. The sound format gives a high skill floor for those that like spamming while there is a high skill ceiling for making quick shots accurately. My only gripes with the game is the lack of sound or narration cues in some sections that can leave you wondering what you're meant to do. This game might also do better with some ui elements for being on the main menu so that its clearer whats being referred to.

[b]Keep your ears open and focus[/b] Apotherorasis is an fps sci-fi game you play blinded, which is for sure quite new for player's with regular eyesight - an experience I'd highly recommend for people who are into trying new ways of gaming and possibly like stepping into someone else's shoes for a change. I'd say this game is also good for other game devs to understand gaming from usability perspective which gets overlooked quite often. As far as my own experience with this game goes: This is the first game I've played like this and I enjoyed the experience well-enough. The game is very immersive and you'll have an interesting time seeing how your senses adapt to being stripped of visual cues, tough at first for sure - but you'll manage. For people who have a vivid imagination and a good enough spatial awareness, this game is going to be easier than for people who have difficulty painting a mental map in their mind of the situation and space. So if you're a very visually concrete person this might not be for you. Overall it is a very good framework for the future. As far as things to improve go, the story and setting is interesting, so I wish we'd gotten to know more about it and speak more with the characters. So for people wondering whether or not to pick this up, don't expect a ton of lore, it is quite a short game after all. Our scientist fella stands out as the most professional sounding voice-actor even though he is kinda theatrical, it adds some weird charm to him. Really loved the voice ques, clicking and whistling from our partner during missions. Reeeally liked the sarcastic humor of our lil' menu robot too. I had no other issues with the game except for the final chapters and final boss as I got no idea where I was supposed to aim, not to mention my shield didn't work. The controls also need a little more fine tuning as it is quite difficult to use the mouse for abilities as you're trying to walk and pinpoint locations at the same time. P.S didn't seem to get my "Your pain is my Pain" achievement. TL;DR It's an interesting, short game if you're looking for something new and are a fan of sci-fi and robots - or if you have ever wondered what it's like to be blind
