Developer PENG MIN said on September 6th, “Listen“announced. The corresponding platform is PC (Steam).
Listen is a first-person shooter. The player’s goal is to destroy the enemy. However, it is said that there is no interface, that is, visual information in this work. Everything in this work seems to be unfolded by sound, and it seems that the player needs to grasp the situation while listening to the sound.
The quirkiness of the lack of an interface becomes more apparent when you check the store page. Official screenshots are filled with black images, making it difficult to see what’s going on in-game. You can also watch a trailer that is supposed to be gameplay on the store page, but as far as I checked, I didn’t even hear the sound.
The details of “Listen” are shrouded in mystery, but the developer has provided an explanation file about how to operate it.publicIt is Moving with the WASD keys on the keyboard and shooting with the left click of the mouse are the same as general FPS operations. On the other hand, it is possible to place a beacon with the G key (collect it if it has already been placed) and send it to the beacon with the 3 key. Although it is unknown what kind of effect the beacon has, it may be an element related to the game system related to sound.
The 1 key is assigned to “Distance sensor” and the 2 key is assigned to “Perception”. In the game, the information obtained by this sensor and perception is considered to be able to grasp the position of the enemy and the structure of the map.
In addition, “Listen” has a mode where you can play against friends one-on-one. In a space where nothing can be seen, it seems necessary to find out the position of the other party. Actions such as distance sensors and perception are assigned to operations in the same way as in solo mode, so grasping the opponent’s position will be the top priority.
“Listen” is likely to be an experimental work with a unique system. At the time of writing this article, the details are shrouded in mystery, and we are waiting for further information disclosure in the future.
“Listen” is a PC (Steam) will be released for
I play regardless of genre, but I’m not good at horror, so I jump up every time. I love not only playing but also watching games, and spend my days glued to the monitor.
