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!)

The idea of a horror game that uses echolocation is neat in theory, but Stifled doesn't really seem to know what to do with the concept. I nearly went hoarse having to talk to myself so I could see as I navigated the game's mostly empty corridors, and the few sections where I needed to stay quiet to avoid monsters were easily navigated without using my voice. I'd like to see this idea in more capable hands.
