Papa Sangre II is an iOS horror audio system. In the game we play the corpse. Fortunately, our death is recent and we still have a chance to return to the living world. A mysterious ally, given the floor by Sean Bean himself, helps us to do this. Production is almost completely devoid of graphics and instead we have to rely mainly on hearing.
Papa Sangre II is an iOS released representative of a rare genre of audio horror movies outside the mobile market. The production was developed by Somethin's Else studio, the same band that was behind the first part. This is a premium title, which means that we pay for it once and then there are no more, even optional micropayments.
The story begins unusually, because of the death of the protagonist we lead. In Pope Sangre II, however, this event is not the end of the adventure. On the contrary, the soul of the character ends up in a place immersed in complete darkness, which is the vestibule of the hereafter. A mysterious stranger's voice quickly reaches him, informing him that it is still possible to return to the living world. However, this requires breaking through the memories of the deceased.
The game is almost completely devoid of graphics, and all information about the world around the character is transmitted in the form of sounds and narration, and the control uses a few simple buttons on the screen to activate the motion function or interact with objects, and the accelerometer is responsible for rotation. This unusual solution works well in action thanks to a sophisticated three-dimensional sound system. Thanks to it, with headphones in our ears, we can easily locate environmental elements, characters or monsters with our hearing.
The game is mainly about navigating through dark locations, where one false step can end tragically. However, the game is also made more attractive by occasional logic puzzles and battle scenes.
The whole is maintained in a climate of horror and the lack of graphics makes you have to rely on your own imagination. When you play at night, with your eyes closed and headphones in your ears, it gives an incredible effect, perfectly building the atmosphere of horror. An additional attraction is the fact that the voice of the guide through the mysterious land was given by an experienced actor Sean Bean.
