You know that sound you hear when it's really quiet? Like, REALLY quiet? That one that sounds like a high pitched drone and gets louder when you think about it? Well, it turns out that everyone hears the same thing except for you… it's a bit more exaggerated…for there is literally a mouth inside your ear which screams when things get too quite.
Screech is virtual reality game where the player plays as a character who is not allowed to be anywhere quiet. If the player does end up in a quiet place, the player loses the game accompanied with a very annoying high pitched scream. The game takes place at night inside the home of the character. The objective of the game is to make it through the night without triggering the mouth in your ear. The player must go venture through the home looking for loud activities to do. However, it won't be as easy as it looks. The mouth in your ear craves your recognition. Throughout the night it will occasionally talk and even start screaming louder and louder until the player loses. To prevent this, the player must either physically scream louder into a mic or do in game activities that produce an even louder noise than the mouth in your ear. Be careful though, you do have neighbors and they will call noise control if you mindlessly start rocking out the electric guitar. Obviously, this game should be played with a mic and headphones.
A puzzling quick-fire type game where the object of the game is to figure out how to play the games. To elaborate, the game itself contains lots of little mini-games and for each one you have a time limit to figure out how to play the game. This game would probably be best on a mobile phone to enable the use of haptic features such as the accelerometer and touch screen. The mini-games would be extremely simplified but get harder as they go on. To add a little bit of a replay value, there will also be a competitive score board that lets you compare your score to either the world or your little group of friends. This game will be targeted towards young teens who hope to improve their reaction time and quicken their problem solving skills. Of course, Initiative will still be suitable for older or even younger people as well.
