AudioCat is an accessible audiogames platform designed to be fully focused on audio and leaving the visuals for your imagination - that way only the sky is the limit! * Virtual companion - when you enter the platform you will be greeted by your very own cat companion and you will hear more about its backstory after what you can give it a name. You need to also keep in mind that you need to feed your pet to keep it full so you can go to amazing audio adventures together. There will be more options to interact with your pet in the future. * Audiogames - right now AudioCat platform has two audio games which have both been designed and developed by our team. ** Wordy is a word based audio game where you need to guess the correct word after the given definition. The game will play five rounds and then the points will be calculated together. Also at the end of the game you will earn xp and coins. ** Echoes of Valor is an adventure rpg audio game which focuses on the moral questions about good and evil. The main storyline is 25 levels and that is followed by infinite levels if you wish to continue. At the end of each level you will earn xp and coins. * Coins - they are used to buy your pet foods to fill up its hunger meter and still have the chance to play the audio games. Soon coins can be used in the in-game store where you can purchase more different pets, accessories, clothes and colors. * Levels and XP - they work together since one does not go without the other. You earn XP from games and that will increase the level.

I absolutely love this platform and it will get more amazing in the future.

By Karok on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

the rpg game takes so long to play i gave up in the end, and you can't use the voice used in the google demos.

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

We are sorry to hear that you had a negative experience with us. Kindly note that with the community we have added quite many fixes to echoes of valor.

We now also have a system in place that allows you to select between voices.

Let us know how else we can improve! ♄

What parts are free and what requires a subscription?

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

That is a great question!
Downloading and interacting with your pet (feeding) is free, however the games are under the subscriptional free.

Kindly note that when you first join the platform you get a 7 day free trial period, which allows you to see if the platform fits your personal needs.

Let me know if you have any other questions

By David Standen on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

I also love the game and look forward to more games in the future. I will definitely be subscribing.

By Mike on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

This is an awesome concept and the games are challenging and fun to play. I look forward to more titles in the future. Great Work AudaioCat team.

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

Thank you!
We are happy to hear that you like the concept and project.
We can't wait to deliver more games and add new flavors of games.

Let us know if you ever have any questions! :)

By Earle on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

I'm looking forward to more exciting games in the future. I've been beta testing this app for a while and the developers are very responsive to feedback. They are constantly trying to make the platform better. I made it to level 102 in Echoes and just recently restarted my game.

By TheBlindDragon on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

Keep in mind you guys, they're just starting off, so AudioCat is a work in progress, so please leave constructive feedback in this thread for them. I can't iterate how awesome these developers are.

By Missy Hoppe on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

I downloaded this app, and think it's pretty nice. I wish there would be a way to just buy the games outright; the subscription costs just aren't in my budget, but maybe it'll be possible for me to invest someday. I was just curious if there are a variety of cat avatars available. In my case, I'd love it if I could have a blue point Siamese cat as part of the app. I will definitely keep the app installed in case I ever find myself in a position to subscribe to the games. In the mean time, I don't know if anyone else would be interested in being able to choose from a variety of kitty avatars, but if this feature would be possible, I think it would make the app even more fun and special.

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

Hey,
We are indeed developing a feature to have different pets! It will come out soon.
Meanwhile you can actually still feed your pet if you do not have a subscription.

Thanks for the support!

By treky fan on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

I downloaded this game yesterdaym mainly because I'm a serious cat lover. What are the coins used for? I'm planning on subscribing when I can.

By Bookrage on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

the coins are for a number of things but currently they are only for paying for food to feed your pets. You get 25 coins daily automatically which is enough to buy the two cheapest foods. the game also has plans to have other things to buy like accessories for your pet, skins that will effectively be additional pets, and other things. Not all the pets will be cats. As an early promotional event that is now over, you could either get a werewolf or a pegasus and if you ordered early enough like I did, you got both. so I'll be getting those when the skin shop opens.

coins are the in-game currency and they are pretty easy to get, right now they are just to feed your pet, which the pet needs some of its hunger filled up or they don't let you play games, but again, they give you enough coins every day to feed your pet a little. coins will be for pretty much everything except the subscription, and of course purchasing coins with real money which currently isn't that much.

Good evening! I just downloaded the app and will try it later. Are there also shooting games? I love these types of games!

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

Good evening to you as well! Happy that you are giving it a try. Currently there are no shooting games yet, however we are looking to expand the library as soon as possible!

By David Standen on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

I have a couple of questions about Echoes of Valor. Currently, my main weapon is the Void Staff. Before this weapon became available to me, my main weapon was the hammer. Is there a way I can choose to use the hammer again? I can only use the Void Staff and the shadow cloak at present. I can't grasp the concept of "Screen". I can identify the sounds in the correct order, but locating the correct place on the screen to tap the correct sounds is challenging. Is there a possibility "Screen" could be made a little easier?

By Bookrage on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

first, you can only carry one secondary weapon and one primary weapon. You just have to select the best weapon for you and guess. because right now the weapons factor in what damage they do when you pick them up, but not when you are using them in battle, there can be a little confusion admittedly and I have sometimes substituted a good weapon with one that wasn't so good. I believe there is a fix coming for that.

As for scrying, it is basically a memory game. You are given a sequence of sounds. The game will play these sounds once and then have a silent period. You will then be prompted to repeat the sequence yourself.

there are currently 4 possible sound effects that can make up a sequence: a water drop, a click, a drum beat, and a bell. These four sounds can be used in any combination to make a sequence.

suppose you get a sequence that sounds like a drop, then a bell, then a drop again. memorize that sequence and wait to be prompted.

Then the game will play the four possible sounds in a randomized order. You need to tap the screen just once after you hear the right sound to be the next in the sequence. Usually there will be a sound effect to show that it worked.

I'll walk you through the rest of this example. Suppose, with the "drop, bell, drop" sequence you heard, the cycle when you are prompted is "drum, click, bell, drop" from choices to choose fom. The game will cycle through those sound choices in that order in this example though it is different each time you scry.

First you need to hit the water droplet, so you just sit there and do nothing while you hear the first 3 sounds, even though the bell is part of the sequence you need.

you wait until you hear the water drop, then tap the screen. You then wait for the sounds to come back around to the bell and tap the screen for that part of the sequence, and then you wait for the water droplet again to finish things off.

basically to enter the sequence you need to scry, don't do anything except tap the screen when the sound comes around to the next thing in the sequence. If you remember and enter the sequence properly, you can get treasures like better weapons, potions, and sometimes stuff that is a little useless.

If you want more information. just ask me here and I'll help.

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

Hey,

Once you pick up a new weapon the other one will go away. There is a multiplier for every weapon however as I have heard is that it is not doing the additional damage. We are investigating and will apply a fix.

Bookrage gave quite a good overview how the game works. Let me know if you require any further help! :)

By David Standen on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

Thanks for the assistance, guys. It is much appreciated.

Can you check your databass for me to see if the account is deleted?

I'm unable to login with my password, although I could have gotten it wrong but I don't think I have.

If the account isn't deleted, could you do it for me? thanks.

Thank you for letting us know! We have deleted your account.

By jelly_beans_1 on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

I'm loving this game so far. It's a really creative idea, and I like the games that are available a lot. Can't wait to see what other games are added. I'm just wondering how to attack an enemy in Echoes of Valor. I'm able to swipe between my weapons, but I don't know how to actually attack an enemy with one. Thanks for your help, and the great game!

By AudioCat on Sunday, June 9, 2024 - 14:49

To attack you have to tap on the top half of your screen!
Thanks for the feedback. :)

By Tarja on Sunday, June 23, 2024 - 14:49

By AudioCat on Tuesday, July 9, 2024 - 14:49

Echoes of Valor update dropped just yesterday. The battle system got a little rework but the main thing is that now you have your very own Adventure Book where you have 9 inventory slots available. There is weapon upgrade and enchantment system implemented.
Platform also got a little update with three new food items and companion level is no longer capped at level 10 - it is unlimited. We also started implementing a friend system which means multiplayer audiogames are not far.

By Emmi Konster on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

I enjoy AudioCat very much! However the gestures don’t always work. For example when I’m playing echoes of Valor and I tap the screen after the right sound sometimes nothing happens. Am I doing something wrong? Thanks for help in advance!

By Tarja on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

Actually the gestures are working. It is just that sometimes there isn’t audio feedback when your sound is correct but it will register your touch. The developers are aware of it and trying to fix it.

By Emmi Konster on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

Thanks for the information!

By Emmi Konster on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

Hi! I enjoy playing Echoes of Valor very much but sometimes when I swipe up to open the adventure book nothing happens. What should I do? Thanks for help in advance!

By Tarja on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

I haven’t experienced it a lot but try to perform more sudden gesture. I have found that when I sometimes perform too lazy gestures then they may not work.

By Sabrina on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

I find subscribing hard at the moment because I can't find any gift card and don't have my bank card connected to my Apple ID because then I will shop til it is empéty so I wonder what is on the free version.

By Sabrina on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

I like the idea of a pet care game even though I cannot play the games for free but I think it needs more features. Whéy not add cleaning the cat, maybe something bad will happen if you don't take care of it for a while? And maybe some notifications?

By AudioCat on Tuesday, July 16, 2024 - 14:49

The pet will get more actions eventually we will also be adding more pet choices soon!

Thanks for the suggestions!

By AudioCat on Monday, September 16, 2024 - 14:49

Hi. I have a few questions. Firstly I tried to subscribe for the yearly one but every time I go into the shop I get an error message that it can't do something like open the shop etc. I checked my profile and it said I was subscribed. I also have done the adventure to level 10 so far I have only got 1 point to upgrade 1 of my stats how do you get points from the echos of valour game? Also each time I open up the game I have to re select my voice I use for screen reader is there any chance this could be looked at. I love the games and the app itself its a great game to be honest. Thanks from Snowy.

By Jonathan Candler on Sunday, October 27, 2024 - 14:49

read the post above yours everything is in there you need to know regarding current subscriptions.

By Tarja on Sunday, October 27, 2024 - 14:49

The app will be free until new version launches.
You get stat points when your companion levels up but all the bug fixes will come when they release the new version.
