Put your headphones on, and submerge yourself into the world...
Lately, we've been working on the audio side of the 8874 so it can catch up to its gorgeous visuals. To provide that we introduced binaural sound sources.
It will make the in-game sound feel more immersive and provide a bit of the ASMR experience when playing with headphones on.
ASMR - the subjective experience of "low-grade euphoria" characterized by "a combination of positive feelings and a distinct static-like tingling sensation on the skin". It is most commonly triggered by specific auditory stimulation.
Binaural audio technically refers to audio captured in a way that a person would hear the sound exactly as they would in the real world.
Binaural sound is kind of similar to a stereo sound, but it "feels" way more alife compared to more "flat" stereo sound.
You can hear the difference by yourself here (remember to put your headphones on!):
One of the first game locations with the new sound sources set up.
We hope that the addition of the binaural sound sources will bring the in-game immersion to the next level,
see you soon...
