This game listens even when you don't press the mic?

[Bobfromacounting]

So maybe someone can explain how it happens because I'm not the best with computers, but surely a game shouldn't be listening all the time? especially if there is a push to talk option?

The push to talk button is only for talking to other players, the ghost responds regardless. This is useful for the introverts that want to play the game but not talk to the people in the lobby. Also very useful when using voice chat like on discord since the players don't need to mute each other.

It´s annoying af tbh. I died a few times already, because i am in discord with people who don´t play. Or because my phone rang or someone talked to me in RL.

Really don´t see how this mechanic is any fun. If textbased commands would have been implmented properly, instead of having to actually type out what you wanna say, i simply wouldn´t allow the game to use the microphone.

But thats a you problem, not a problem with the game directly.

I mean sure, if the game expects from you that you sit alone, talk to noone, put your phone on silent and lock the door to the office so noone can enter, put the dog in the garden, give the kids to the grandparents to baby sit so that noone and nothing can trigger the mic on accident.

Dude.

I don't know, I play this with people using discord all the time, and I don't think I have ever died because I talked. I don't think you are dying just because you are talking, or else the only way to play this game would be in complete silence. Most of the times we just troll around going into rooms asking if the ghost wants pizza and nothing happens, so I don't see the mic being on as the problem in your example.

That´s the point. I was hiding from the ghost, he came into the upper sleeping room on cyclone street, i was in the bathroom in there, he went out heading to the office again, someone talked to me, i simply answered like i always do, ghost turns around and finds me.

It's happened to me a few times too, pretty annoying when you need to respond to people rl.

Sounds like i rather play games that don´t force me to completly ignore RL. Well as soon as the Maria Riddle is solved that is.

Besides from the mic issue, there is also the ESG/Canvas issue and acutally playing is a boring waiting game anyways.

If you can't wait for more then or less then a min to reply you might have a you problem.. Also whispering is a thing to. Iv seen streamers whisper a reply to us then go silent again..

Look, there is other games out there like this. Not only Phasmo if you think that now, where i don´t have to adapt in RL for the game. Besides the Maria Riddle there is really nothing special about this game.
