Dear all,

My name is Kamila and I am writing on behalf of a Czech indie game development studio Play By Ears. I would like to inform you about the release of our fully-accessible audio game called Evidence 111, launching November 15th, 2022 on iOS and Android.

Free your imagination and let yourself be immersed in mysterious audio sceneries of this detective fiction. September 13th, 1985, a small town of Farnham, England. Just like every Friday, Chief inspector Alice Wells is on duty. An ordinary night shift is suddenly interrupted by a mysterious phone call – an anonymous caller knows something about the chief inspector that no one was supposed to find out. How the story ends is up to you as your choices will directly impact the game's ending.

We can't wait for you to try the game and let us know what you think about it.

I found the Czech version on the App Store, I understand a bit of Czech but not enough to play the game! The audio production sounds amazing! I'm super excited!
I think it's funny you have the Czech version set in the USA but the English version set in England haha.

Hello everyone,

Thank you so much for your nice comments. We are so excited for you to play it :).

To answer Will's question, the game is approximately 1,5 hours long and there are multiple endings, depending on the choices you make throughout the game :).

It reminds me of Frequency Missing, which I thoroughly enjoyed. I'm going to get this one as soon as I can.

What will the price be? a game like this I'd expect would be a few dollars

Thank you all for your enthusiasm concerning the release :). The full game will be available for just 4,99 USD.

Hello. You guys did an amazing job with this game! The audio work is excellent, the voice work is excellent, and the story is outstanding. I have not discovered all of the endings yet, I heard there is an absolute ton of them. How to discover them, I will have to figure out. But I will definitely play this over and over again. Once again, amazing work on this game!

I hope you can release the soundtrack of the game on spotify
or apple music

I was wondering about the endings myself, I’ve discovered, I think three or four of them. So that still leaves a few. If anyone else finds a way to do any of the other endings, any hints would be nice. I will keep trying though. And if I come across a way to do another ending, I will be sure to post it here.

I don't know what I'm missing, but when I open this game, I just get a direct touch area message. I've tried turning VO off and back on, but there is never any kind of sound or detectable text with this app. I was really looking forward to checking out the game, so if someone could please let me know what I'm doing wrong, I would really appreciate it.

Turning VoiceOver back on is the mistake you’re making ☺️
Just leave VoiceOver off and it should work fine.
HTH, Dave

Thank you very much for your response. Unfortunately, I've just tried opening this game with voice over turned off. Still absolutely no sound. I can tell that the screen is changing since I have light and color perception, but other than that, it's silent and tapping my screen doesn't seem to do anything. Is it an app that forces me to wear headphones? If so, it should say that through the speaker at the very least, although as much as I dislike headphones, that might be a deal breaker for me; most audio games, I can do well enough through my phone's speaker. Anyway, thanks for the suggestion. I'll keep tapping the screen in random places to see if I can get anything to happen.

If your phone is muted the game won’t work

By charles on Monday, January 23, 2023 - 20:17

What happens if you start the game with Voice-Over on? Do you get sound? After starting the game, turn Voice-Over off, then wait for about 30 seconds. Then swipe to the right and see if the game starts. A headset is not required, but does immerse you more into the game. HTH.

By Missy Hoppe on Monday, January 23, 2023 - 20:17

For some reason, now that I have my apple watch, I almost always keep my phone muted. It never even occurred to me that this might be the issue.

As I had a little down time over the holiday, I gave this game a try. What a cool idea! I love the sound affects and the acting is outstanding! Congrats to the developer on an amazing title! I did manage to get the main character killed the first time I played it, but I am now playing it again to find alternate endings.
Thanks for an outstanding title!
