Stifled
Stifled is a multi-award winning, VR and Mic-Enabled Sound-Based Survival Thriller, where sound is the only way you see and the enemies HEAR your fear. In Stifled, the sounds made by your in-game character and yourself through microphone input reveal the otherwise hidden world through ‘echolocation’. However, undue noise will attract the attention of creatures lurking in the darkness. To survive, you will have to tread the line between making sounds to see, and staying quiet to stay hidden. (Put the microphone near your nose for even more challenge!)

Stifled is a one-of-a-kind horror game that’s unlike anything I’ve seen before. The use of sound to allow you to see the world around you but also alert your enemies creates a terrifying and suspensful dynamic that left me quivering in my shorts. The pacing isn’t perfect and some other pieces felt lacking, but the core premise of Stifled is so very strong it’s impossible not to recommend it. This game should be experienced by anyone that wants to see how VR as a medium can transform the way we interact with video games. Stifled is available now on PSVR for $20.

A solid and relatively accomplished effort that’s more than worth a look for survival horror fans. 3.4 Echo the Dolphin-Man... An immersive indie horror game built around the intriguing use of sound as a major mechanic, Stifled thrusts players into an oppressive darkness where your greatest asset for survival may also be the very cause of your demise. Legendary schlock filmmaker William Castle understood that in order to set your product apart from the pack you needed a hook, a gimmick that offered up an experience that your competitors were either unable or unwilling to provide; Castle famously hooked motors to cinema seats in order to replicate the sensation of receiving an electric shock with his film “The Tingler”, amongst other, less notable publicity stunts designed to place his films directly in the public’s eye. Stifled’s developers, Gattai Games, unfortunately may lack the budget and bombast of William Castle in his heyday and the profile necessary to widely promote their game, but it can’t be denied that they’ve at least mastered the art of having a compelling hook to pique the public’s interest. Stifled only allows players to see things through echolocation, which basically means you’re essentially a dolphin – or Daredevil, if you’re too Hardcore for dolphins – using sound in order to discern the features of the environment around you.
