Cool game but I feel lonely inside of it

And I think it's due to the sound design, I mean the sound is pretty nice but there is no enemy/player sounds, no breathing when sprinting, no enemies growling, no pain sound, like there is no sound at all from "speech"... its lacking

[Shocknfunk]

think you need to play more then 40 mins.

Idk how to explain it correctly, but there is no speaking sounds growling sounds coming from my player and most mobs, no hurt sounds, no attacking sounds, as in from the person, not the weapon or stuff

There is. Extremely subtle. Most enemies you fight are skeletal and have the look of being “possessed” by some spiritual energy.

How about my own character? does he not produce sound?

[Absalom]

agreed. That's why I play using thronebreaker, darksiders or doom eternal OSTs. The game needs more to make you feel badass.

Very small grunts. Don’t think you want to hear bloodcurdling screams from him or anything giving the opening cinematic makes him seem like he’s a monster to the church that’s being used to hunt witches. Seems like a force of nature type similar to Doom Slayer.

when you run out of stamina and continue to run you will hear him breathing inside the mask

I've noticed it later on, but still its really toned low, idk even how to explain it, it's just my general feeling that there isn't enough character interaction with what's happening
Beyond that, the rest of the game is fun and has high quality gun play ect.

the games soundmix is great, if you have issues its either too quiet or you might have a bug

they intentionally want you to listen out for sounds and having the preyer grunting panting/etc when im trying to listen for something would tilt me to no end

[EmpathyandEntropy]

While I agree that the sound design could use some work, not at all for that reason.

I get that feeling too. Sometimes atmospheric and fits nicely. Other times it's really drab. Really really drab. Hauntingly so. I wouldn't say it's bad, but I can definitely see how it would feel super lonely and empty

I might be in the minority here, but that description makes me smile. If it can evoke those feelings inside of you, then I’d call it a big plus. A truly dark and grim atmosphere that makes you actually feel something other than mind-numbness while playing it, which is more than can be said for most games these days.

I’m absolutely loving the game. I’ve had it on Epic since it launched on there. It just keeps getting better and I’m looking forward to 1.0.

Yea, I'm hope that the sound design makes the game feel more haunting and more lonely. Echos in the caverns, the tumble of loose gravel as you walk down a ledge. The change in footsteps as you move from on terrain to another. Little things like that go a long way. The visual design already as this oppressive vastness. It just needs the sound to match.

I know exactly what you're talking about. The game feels lifeless. When I initially purchased it (Epic) I thought there would be a cathedral full of monks, clergy, pope, etc.. to interact with and guide you on your journeys (like SoulSlinger), but there's nothing and no one. Just a bunch of lifeless enemies that materialize and fade away over and over and over again.

They ripped off the Van Helsing movie (with Hugh Jackman). The least they could have done was give us the story and people that went with it.
