The groundbreaking 2018 original is back in a new location! I Can Hear You is an intense and intimate real-life horror game that was awarded one of the best experiences worldwide.
Your investigation team is given a case by private detective organisation ‘Red Eye’ to track down missing Red Eye agent Jonathan. As an experienced detective, he traced former surgeon Sergey F. Staalmaat who is said to have taken up residence in the vacant Maas and Kempen hospital, where he may be carrying out lurid practices.
This led to Sergey fleeing the hospital. For a long time, we heard nothing. Until we learned from Jonathan that he picked up Sergey’s trail not much further downtown in a former doctor’s office of his. That’s where the signal stops. It’s up to you to break into that doctor’s office unseen, stay out of the surgeon’s hands, figure out what’s going on and find & resque Jonathan!
Remember: doubt halts progression. Progression is achieved by making decisions, but all decisions have consequences…. Are you brave enough?

"I Can Hear You" has finally been rebuilt and is back in 2025. Unfortunately, I didn't have the chance to play the old version and was all the happier about this new release. The game was a lot of fun. I, as someone fairly experienced in horror escape rooms, played it with a friend who had no previous horror game experience, and we both loved it!
All the acting moments were perfectly paced and had professional timing. The story made perfect sense, and the setting was very authentic. We lost all sense of space and time and were completely immersed in the game. These are clear signs that Entered has done everything right with this experience. If you're looking for challenging puzzles, you won't find much in this game. But that's not Entered's brand. They create a horror experience and are simply very, very good at it. Comparable games would be "Don't Take A Breath" from Athens and the sadly closed "Stay In The Dark." It's important to emphasize that the exciting core mechanics of those games were first used in the old version of the room in Entered. If you've played those rooms, you'll know what I mean.
Thank you also for the pleasant and interesting debriefing, for which everyone involved patiently and attentively took the time despite the late hour!
At its core there is something unique and very cool there, but the execution was just horrible.
It was way too dark outside to see how to get into the building so we lost a lot of time there. Then the host told us not to push any buttons inside, so how do you open the first room? With a button, again we lost a lot of time there. And then the actors was just constantly blocking us from solving any puzzles or he would come in and mess the puzzle up (up to 3 times at the same puzzle) even though we were running late already.
When we were done they told us we hadnt seen 5 rooms and that we should come back to try again. Now that is just lazy and not how to run a room.
I had some cool experiences in there that were tense and amazing, but overall i was really really dissapointed with the game

Once upon a time much to my (and Heiner’s) regret “I CAN HEAR YOU”, the first game from the creators of Demise of the Gricers, closed its doors. I am sure many enthusiasts have experienced a dreadful sense of urgency when an awarded/recommended game announces it will close and the frustration that follows if you don’t manage to play it.
Fortunately, not all closures are permanent and sometimes there are second chances or paraphrasing something from a different company, sometimes the end is not the end, but just a new beginning.
As anyone knowing Heiner can imagine, it is not surprising that the day the pre-sale opened he “coerced” me into buying a pre-sale ticket and it is equally unsurprising that we were the first group playing in English.
Of course, after such a long wait, expectations can only be high, and at the same time I was also curious how a game that was originally conceived a long time ago (for this type of games) would fare nowadays.
I am sure you are also expecting something, so I will stop beating around the bush and simply say that I really loved the experience.
I Can Hear You was able to entertain us well for almost 2 hours. Even without big show effects, the décor of an abandoned, run-down hospital is convincing and creates an immersive character precisely because of its simplicity. With I Can Hear You, Entered has staged a horror experience that deliberately focuses on the story and tells it with a twist.
