I want a game where the premise of hearing being your main tool to be realized better. As it is, we have the nirnroot quest from Oblivion and Skyrim without any of the engaging reasons for it. There might be something here someday, but right now this is a twenty minute foray into wasted potential. Pass it by until it gets better. https://youtu.be/aSOrm-pGZcY
[b]PLAY THIS GAME WITH HEADPHONES! ʙᴜᴛ ᴘᴜᴛ ᴛʜᴇᴍ ᴏɴ ᴀғᴛᴇʀ ᴛʜᴇ ғɪʀsᴛ sᴇǫᴜᴇɴᴄᴇ[/b] "Hearing" has a simple premise to it, it is a walking simulator in which you can close your eyes and enjoy the game. The Game wants you to pick up 10 [h1] blue balls [/h1] which are placed all around a rather empty field inbetween rocks. Sadly there are barely ambient sounds, in a game which is called HEARING this is quite a let down, but it also helps to focus onto the objectiv. It can take a while till you get the balls together (dont worry, there are more then 10 so you can find this amount, else this would be tidious). While you are at it you explore the gameworld which doesnt look too bad, skybox is.. well a box. It doesnt move. But the trees and grass react to wind and you run around and find lost buildings, campfires which were left alone and [url=http://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=1113480481] hidden characters[/url]. Of cource the main gimmick is still hearing, so what about it? Well, to find the balls you need to listen to the sound of the game. These balls make a sound to find them in various places. Even tho the game promises that it could be played with your eyes closed.. you´d rather not. As a fan of Dear Esther and various other genre-like games, its really hard to give this game a good or bad. I enjoyed the hunt, the idea and for a price of not even 1 Dollar - why not. But also there a numerous bugs, it can take quite a while to get the balls and without a proper ambient sound it seems empty... I give this game the benefit of a doubt and give it a Thumbs up, but be warned that It might not be the game you are looking for.

This game is advertised as one that you could play with your eyes closed. This is false. You are required to distinguish between [spoiler]blue balls and dark blue balls by color[/spoiler] and that requires sight. Also, if you don't understand Russian, then you must read the subtitles and that requires sight. I would change my review if the [spoiler]distinguishing characteristic of the balls were based on sound[/spoiler], but as it is I was disappointed.
A strange game to play with headphones. It looks more like an experimental work than a game you should pay money for. The single objective of the game is to collect 10 blue balls using your ears (when you come near a ball, you will ear a rising sound, and you orient yourself depending on what you ear in your left or right ear). The concept idea is interesting but could be developed in something more than what is offered here. After finding 5 balls, you have seen all of what the game has to offer. For a walking simulator, I was hoping for more variety and things to discover, but it is mostly just rocks and trees everywhere. I also did not really get the ending. I was not sure if it was a joke, or if the game was seriously expecting the player to pay attention to different shades of blue. In all, it is an interesting idea for a game, but it could be more developed.
A steaming pile of garbage that looks semi-pretty Description for the game is an outright lie as it would be impossible to play with your eyes closed as the blue balls you're tasked with finding are often hidden and require platforming (jumping on rocks) to get to. A headache inducing ringing noise alerts you to where the balls are, but it's about as accurate as píssing lines in snow. When you finally collect ten the game explains that you got a dark blue ball and thus must be vaporized and wander around the drab environment to occasionally stumble upon a poorly textured house or random Alien creature all over again, with no guarantee you won't again get a "dark blue ball". I didn't bother giving it a second go and you shouldn't give it a go at all. Can only imagine this artificially difficult "game" and it's bullshít cryptic ending exist solely to scam idiots.
Some problem with subtitle The subtitle would overpal in 1080P full screen, The voice is Russian and it is important to watch the subtitle if you are not a Russian. It is hard to distinguish blue ball and dark blue ball, I tried over 5 times but I failed everytime because i don't know which one is dark blue...
无聊的游戏,总结为:找个球 各种各样的bug,比如开始时候的文字叠在一起,NPC的声音就像小和尚念经那样,有口无心
I only played an hour of this and found 4 blue balls. It was quite boring. The noise to find the balls gave me a crashing headache! I won't even finish this as it is too tedious. 4 out of 10 for me.
Dark blue is valid.
