BRIEF DESCRIPTION
Yell Out for Survival is a multi-genres sound-driven game including genres of Runner, Adventure, and First-person Action. Throughout the whole gameplay, you will control/command the character only using your voice input. The game is separated into 3 stages, each stage presents a unique gameplay experience with different goals to achieve. Not only the mechanics but also the visual style are changed immensely in every stage. The game aims to provide players with a unique interactive gameplay experience.
The first level is a 2D runner game in that you will use voice loudness (volume) to control the character moving up and down to avoid being hit by obstacles while getting rid of a monster behind which is chasing you.
The second level is a 3D top-down camera-view runner game in that you will use voice frequency (pitch) to control the character to jump from a safe platform to the next moving towards the goal.
The third level is a 1st-person Action Battle game in that you will use both voice volume and pitch as your weapon to attack and knockback incoming waves of enemies to survive 60 seconds.
