About
Lisssn is a single player action game. It was developed by Robert Wolff and Knut Müller and was released on January 31, 2018. It received very positive reviews from players.
"Lisssn" is a point-and-click adventure game for listeners in the style of adventure classics such as "RHEM" with many puzzles and mysterious machines to set in motion. But instead of having only to look closely and to combine, this one is especially about hearing and listening closely. The player is thus carefully introduced into the basic ideas of music.
- The game features a variety of engaging puzzles that incorporate music theory, making it both fun and educational.
- The inclusion of a detailed map helps players navigate the expansive game world, enhancing the exploration experience.
- Fans of the RHEM series will appreciate the familiar style and atmosphere, while also enjoying the lighter, more humorous tone of this game.
- Many sound-based puzzles are considered too easy, lacking the challenge expected from a puzzle game.
- The user interface is clunky and distracting, with issues such as large cursors and sluggish transitions that detract from the gameplay experience.
- The game lacks a compelling story, which may disappoint players looking for a narrative-driven experience.

The music aspect of the game has received mixed reviews, with some players finding the music puzzles enjoyable and nostalgic, while others felt they were overly simplistic and reminiscent of elementary music theory exercises. Many appreciated the educational component, noting that the puzzles effectively teach rudimentary music concepts such as notes, rhythm, and historical composers. Overall, players expressed a desire for a deeper focus on music and sound within the gameplay.
“The music puzzles were great fun, and took me back to evenings spent at the music school as a child.”
“While having fun solving very diverse puzzles, you will be able to learn some rudiments of music theory (notes, rhythm, musical instruments, composers from the baroque era...).”
“The musical and rhythm puzzles integrate repetition in their resolution allowing you to train/practice your hearing and understanding of rhythm duration.”
“Maybe it's because I have some background in music, but some of them were almost jokes.”
“Play back the series of 3 notes!...they were more like music theory exercises in elementary school than puzzles.”
“I think that for me, if the game would have focused even more on music/sound/rhythm/history, I would have liked it even better.”
