I really liked the idea of audio hints.

I really liked the idea of audio hints.
Well done! I was able to complete it. I had a hard time deciphering the audio hints even with headphones on though.
Nice short experience. The main idea is great and metaphoric in a sense. The audio hints are a little bit obvious, maybe you could've made them a little more subtle and complex. But overall, I enjoyed playing it.
A really cool idea, and I enjoyed it once I'd read the explanation. I'd be interested to see if you could help the player work out what they should be doing in-game, maybe adding a "no" before the prompt if the player is going the wrong way?
You gave the endless stairs a great atmosphere!
The explanation made it much easier to play, and once I read that, it was pretty cool! Also, love the atmosphere!
If you are going to rely on audio hints, you need to make sure all of them are intelligible. Some were clearly "up" or "down", but others are an ambiguous mumble or groan. Regardless of whether I interpreted them as up or down, I could not reach the ending. Due to the limited gameplay, this just gets frustrating very quickly. I feel like there was an interesting idea here, but it wasn't implemented in a way that is friendly enough to the player. I started to feel almost like the game is intended as a practical joke on the player, which would be rather mean-spirited and not very funny for the only person experiencing it.
I love the texture of the wall, and the infinite looping of the staircase was done well. I do like the mood of the audio, but the creepiness level has sacrificed too much intelligibility in the dialogue.
Fantatic idea for the theme "stuck in a loop". I also like the dark atmosphere. Well done!
as the name suggests, it's infinite stairs :) I couldn't complete it, but really curios now after reading the comments!
But I wanted to go in date in the weird endless tower's basement :(
i couldnt hear words the first time cause volume is so low, but then I completed the game and its pretty good
really great atmosphere!! The game was really cool and funny =) I had a hard time understanding some hint but overall it worked very well!
Good idea, though some of the audio hints were a little too vague, i think
Very cool game, even though I had to read the description to understand the weird sounds.
Hey, I played your game on stream! Here's the vod if you wanna rewatch; https://www.twitch.tv/videos/765076622
Thanks for submitting your game!
Haha the ending got me! This was really hard at first to understand what the audio hints were referring to, so I _did_ have to cheat a bit and read your tip above. But this was a cool concept and the 'infinite'ness of the stairs is done very seamlessly and smoothly. Kudos!
Love the aesthetic, well done!
Sorry I cheated :P Thanks for submittint it! -PomoTheDog
I gave it 5/5 just because it's unique and really captures the mood. I wish there was some kind of a jumpscare or something though. For the the audio "up" and "downs" were clear and I liked that they're a bit disorted. Great one!
