“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.”

No Man’s Sky

This is (finally!) releasing today on PS4, and coming to Steam on Friday (August 12th). I’m not sure any game can live up to the amount of crazy hype this has drummed up, but I’ll be happy to just putter around for a bit in the art style. =) I hope the devs can find some sanity in the near future, the last couple of weeks have seemed super intense.
