Our take on Fisherman's House
The likely bounce point is the sound system: players who do not want microphone input involved may need to switch it off, while the fisherman still reacts to in-game sounds. The other pressure point is difficulty, which changes his movement speed.
What is Fisherman's House?
After being captured, players search the fisherman's house for tools and keys and solve puzzles to escape before the fisherman catches them.
Puzzle locations and item hiding places are randomly generated for each game. Difficulty settings change how quickly the fisherman moves. Sound is part of the threat: the fisherman listens for in-game noises, and the microphone can also be used as an input, with an option to turn it off. The game includes a VR mode for use with a VR headset.
