  Stifled is absolutely not the best indie horror game on the market, but I have to respect it for what it brings to the table. While the game is short and the frustration can – at times – be palpable, Stifled is a smart and satisfying game (especially for anyone invested in VR setups).

  Stifled is an exercise in taking a great idea and applying it to a worn out genre. The indie horror tropes bleed through, despite a unique initial premise. Mumbling under my breath to be able to see barely plays into the narrative, and no scare ever got me to scream out loud, so it didn’t quite have the intended effect, seeming more like a gimmick by the end.

  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.

  Nosotros hemos pasado unos ratitos bastante terroríficos con este título, y hemos disfrutado esta aventura que, sin ser sobresaliente, entretiene bastante. La nota que le damos, eso sí, es jugándola con casco de realidad virtual; jugándola con mando en la tele bajaría algo. Stifled no es perfecto, pero es una de esas ideas originales que se agradecen ver de vez en cuando.

  Auch wenn mich der Einsatz meiner Stimme ziemlich schnell genervt hat: Man muss den Entwicklern von Gattai Games zumindest zugute halten, dass man Horrorspielen mit der Echoortung eine interessante Facette hinzugefügt hat.

  Stifled est un jeu d'horreur et d'infiltration en réalité virtuelle qui apporte une petite touche d'originalité au genre : dans des environnements entièrement plongés dans le noir, vous pourrez faire apparaître le décor en produisant du bruit, que ce soit en jetant des objets ou en parlant... Dans son micro ! Mais problème, en produisant ces ondes sonores, vous attirez les monstres qui rôdent aux alentours, et si jamais l'un d'entre-eux s'approche de vous, il ne faut surtout pas crier de peur !
