Sound of Silence

[MrBehemoth]

It sounds like Anna all over again. Anna had a great atmosphere, but was ultimately a boring house of smoke, and mirrors. Supposedly the game could learn from the players actions, and give different endings accordingly.

I really wanted to love Anna, I really, really did. But ultimately I was left angered and unsatisfied by a game that rewarded me when I spent time doing nothing and then punished me for behaving as it suggested that I should. The attempt to make a sandbox of symbolism is just what made it confusing and vague.

I'm sceptical that emergent narrative can work in the horror genre.
