Papa Sangre II Arrives Just in Time to Join Your Halloween Celebrations

Submitted by on

Papa Sangre II has just arrived in the iTunes App Store. This much anticipated follow-up to the Papa Sangre game from 2010 is the third audio only game release from Somethin’ Else. If this latest adventure follows in the footsteps of the two previous games, it is certain to be a hit with blind iOS gamers.
 
Papa Sangre II is a horror game that takes as its starting point a macabre concept: your own death. The player’s goal is to return to the land of the living by exploring an immersive story-world, collecting memories of dead souls to get back to the other side. 
 
Contrary to traditional games, Papa Sangre II has no visuals: the gameplay takes place in audio only and makes use of the most immersive technology available: the player’s own imagination. In effect, Papa Sangre II is a video game with no video!
 
Throughout the game, players are guided through the underworld by the omniscient narrator Sean Bean, famous for his roles in Lord of the Rings and Game of Thrones.
 
Papa Sangre II utilizes a 3D binaural engine capable of generating true 3D sound from mono recordings. The spatial audio encompasses all 360 degrees of rotation, allowing sound to be positioned all around the listener’s head, including behind. Papa Sangre II features over 1,600 individually processed sounds.
 
 
A trailer for Papa Sangre II is available at http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Digjr59KqOE

Papa seems to be rather tricky, or sneaky? They posted the app to the store under a different developer's name. However I'm sure it's the same quality / people with the app, can't wait to give it a try!

I think it's 6 hours ahead of us or at least that is what I think, in central timezone. But, Papa sangre 2 is an excellent thriller game. I won't spoil anything here, but you can now use the gyro on your iPhone to spin your character around. That's all I will give you. Happpy halloween

Just leaving a comment in the hope of winning a free copy. I never finished the first game, so I dunno how I'll get on with this one but it'd be worth having a go especially if I get it for free. :)

#21 Sounds like a great game

Submitted by on

I've played the first on my iPhone 4s and am stuck at level 9 grim reper. There appears to be some slow down in turning and navigating and no matter how many times I try, the walking lag does not let me complete it. Has anyone else experienced this and does a device upgrade help? I was quite impressed and would not only love to complete it but am definitely looking forward to it's sequel.

#22 So excited

Submitted by on

I had such a fantastic time playing Papa Sangre 1. Granted, it took forever, with a lot of frustration and confusion in between, but that's what I love about these audio horror games so much. They're challenging, creepy, and enthrawling. If I win (fingers crossed), I will be so, so, so, sO HAPPY! Thank you so much to the developers, who have taken so much time and money to create a game so accessible and thrilling.

I always enjoy these types of audio games. Even Papa Sangre 1 was challenging. But I love how they can really put you in a landscape--island level or night jar.
