Perception delivers a unique narrative horror experience that is fully dedicated to its creative premise, following it through its tensely atmospheric highs but occasionally suffering its monotonous lows.

Set in a haunted house, you play as Cassie who's blind and must use echolocation to navigate her surroundings, but the very sounds that guide her also what attracts the haunting enemy's attention. It's a great premise and naturally leads to plenty of frightening moments but it has its limitations, such as when you're waiting out the danger period from making too much noise for the nth time.

What propels you through is the narrative and voice-acting, which I was pleasantly surprised by. Neither too cheesy nor hiking up too high the horror trope tree, the on-going story adds a sustained tension throughout rather than relying on just the occasional jump scares. It's only the occasional staged scenarios I found that it can grind a bit for me.

Generally though for all its minor faults, it's still a fairly fine game so if the premise genuinely draws your curiosity I can recommend giving it a try.
