Heartbeat sound removal?

[Ravioli]

Will there be an option for a player to mute or even remove the heartbeat sound? I'm only asking because a friend of mine has a condition called "misophonia", which is the hatred of sound. The heartbeat sound is one of those sounds, it would most likely keep them from playing the game due to it.

I can't say for sure, but I kind of doubt it as that is how you know when the killer is near.

Probably might be able to separate the game sfx from the game music as different volume sliders.

Will let a dev get back to you on this.

Just to reiterate what Murf said, the heartbeat sound is a huge part of the game.

It could be replaced with a red edged screen to indicate the killers position(?)

He hates sound?


But sounds are, like, everywhere. Does he hate all sounds?





I wonder if there are people who hate air.

Its a phobia of heartbeat noises, unsure on the name Cardio Phonophobia but no... it doesnt mean someone's scared of all sounds.

He could only play as the killer, no heartbeat sounds.. problem solved =)

That is correct, it ups the stress levels for the players and usually causes them to panic and make dumb mistakes. If you can keep your cool though, it might work out for ya.

I love hearing the beats get faster and louder and the music increasing, and then see him coming, adjust myself so I am behind a rock or what not, and he walks right by me. Very cool feeling :)

No not all sound. It's particular sounds. It literally makes her have the want to stab her eardrums with a screwdriver. Look up this stuff, it's a common want for people who have this condition. No need to be inconsiderate.

But what about for players that are hearing impaired? Are they excluded from a game such as this? I'd like to think there will be some form of minor visual notification of sorts.

I'm not sure what exact mechanism is in place for this, but there's the obvious third-person view which makes a killer nearby easy to spot.

Watch the Dev video... I'm sure that they specificaly mentioned that there would be no heart beat sound. That they expect the player to be scared, anxius, ext and that their characters will have no reactions, as the player will make the mistakes.
