### 3/5 — Super confusing

*2025-05-16*

I can’t get past the first level, whenever I try to find the lady she moves and I can’t find her. When it tells me to go right it randomly changes to left.

### 3/5 — Music is a bit loud, but good everywhere else… Almost

*2023-10-13*

Thank you for this totally accessible audio game. The music in between scenes is a bit loud, and when you pause the game, game progress, still resumes in the background. I wish that. did not happen, as, although the progress is muffled, you can forget what is going on while you’re saving the game. In other words, if someone’s speaking, while you’re saving the game, you might miss what they said, and there was no repeat option for that conversation. That would be nice, have a repeat option for anything. You might miss that isn’t already repeated. I also wish that the game returned to the main menu, without resuming your gameplay, one of your paws. I can’t wait for chapter 2, as a chapter one seems very short. I like that it’s free to obtain this game. Keep up the good work on all your projects.

### 3/5 — Confused

*2022-09-03*

I don’t seem to understand. Every time in the very beginning when I am chasing after that lady, when I do get close to her, she keeps moving away further and further but then the directions when I’m heading towards the shaking sound which I thought was left it will go right. When I go right, she’s somewhere else. Every time when I get close. Any suggestions here?

### 1/5 — A Naff game

*2022-09-02*

A rubbish game you can’t complete it without being put back to the beginning it should hav save points don’t waist your money

**Developer response:** Hi Chris, the game does feature an auto save that saves a key points in the narrative. There is also a save game option in the menu.

### 5/5 — Little bit confusing

*2022-08-12*

I played the whole game perfectly but I get stuck and confused in one area and that’s where you gotta go locate to docs at the pumping station it tells me what sound to listen for but when I use my audio poster whatever it’s called I can’t seem to know what sound it is audio Zoom that’s what it was called I had to think I know you don’t wanna give no spoilers but it would help if you can actually tell me how to actually get through that one area that’s where I get stuck through the whole game I hear everything all around me even the guy you help and I get stuck I don’t know what to listen for her which way to go how size that it’s a great game thank you and keep up the good work
