I want a game where the premise of hearing being your main tool to be realized better. As it is, we have the nirnroot quest from Oblivion and Skyrim without any of the engaging reasons for it. There might be something here someday, but right now this is a twenty minute foray into wasted potential. Pass it by until it gets better. https://youtu.be/aSOrm-pGZcY

About This Game
You woke up in the middle of the white, lighted room. What happened? How did I get here? These are the questions that find the main character of this game. "If you want to know something, just ask about it," thought the protagonist. But instead of words from the mouth only air comes out. Suddenly, up to the hero's ears comes a voice from above. It is he who will answer all the questions that are tormenting the hero, and will also show, in a clear example, how a normal hearing test can develop into a real challenge.

This game is advertised as one that you could play with your eyes closed. This is false. You are required to distinguish between [spoiler]blue balls and dark blue balls by color[/spoiler] and that requires sight. Also, if you don't understand Russian, then you must read the subtitles and that requires sight. I would change my review if the [spoiler]distinguishing characteristic of the balls were based on sound[/spoiler], but as it is I was disappointed.
A strange game to play with headphones. It looks more like an experimental work than a game you should pay money for. The single objective of the game is to collect 10 blue balls using your ears (when you come near a ball, you will ear a rising sound, and you orient yourself depending on what you ear in your left or right ear). The concept idea is interesting but could be developed in something more than what is offered here. After finding 5 balls, you have seen all of what the game has to offer. For a walking simulator, I was hoping for more variety and things to discover, but it is mostly just rocks and trees everywhere. I also did not really get the ending. I was not sure if it was a joke, or if the game was seriously expecting the player to pay attention to different shades of blue. In all, it is an interesting idea for a game, but it could be more developed.
A steaming pile of garbage that looks semi-pretty Description for the game is an outright lie as it would be impossible to play with your eyes closed as the blue balls you're tasked with finding are often hidden and require platforming (jumping on rocks) to get to. A headache inducing ringing noise alerts you to where the balls are, but it's about as accurate as píssing lines in snow. When you finally collect ten the game explains that you got a dark blue ball and thus must be vaporized and wander around the drab environment to occasionally stumble upon a poorly textured house or random Alien creature all over again, with no guarantee you won't again get a "dark blue ball". I didn't bother giving it a second go and you shouldn't give it a go at all. Can only imagine this artificially difficult "game" and it's bullshít cryptic ending exist solely to scam idiots.
I only played an hour of this and found 4 blue balls. It was quite boring. The noise to find the balls gave me a crashing headache! I won't even finish this as it is too tedious. 4 out of 10 for me.
Some problem with subtitle The subtitle would overpal in 1080P full screen, The voice is Russian and it is important to watch the subtitle if you are not a Russian. It is hard to distinguish blue ball and dark blue ball, I tried over 5 times but I failed everytime because i don't know which one is dark blue...
I actually liked this game! Would be interesting if it was night time and had animals or something.. And this would also be awesome for a surround sound test? cause it really pulls you where the sound (blue ball) will be! i had a lot of fun!
Nobody told me I would have to be able to tell the difference between a blue ball and a dark blue ball. Honestly, they could have chosen a different color for the "not-blue" ball. Anything other than, you know, BLUE would have sufficed, really. For a game called Hearing, you'd think the objects would make different noises for you to distingush between them. But alas, no. There's not very many ambient noises to listen to either. Environments are nice though. Flawed, but I liked it. 5/10, would get tinnitus again.
Spent 20 minutes on the game. It was not worth the $.99. Don't get it, i would rather watch a letsplay of this with bad cometary than play it again.
This game is a Troll *Spoiler* The game calls itself "Hearing." Tells you to collect blue balls that emit a sound and no other balls. Advertises that you can play with your eyes closed ( X Doubt. ) After Collecting Balls, receive bad ending for collecting the "wrong type of blue ball." The game costs $1, I'd rather pay another $1 to not have to not play for the "good" ending.
