HEARKEN
A blind co-op horror comedy for up to 4 players. Sound is your only sight: every step, clap and scream lights up the dark — and calls a monster that hunts by ear and can call you in your friend's voice. Sneak, haul fragile vials, and scream at the worst possible moment.
Your like matters. Every heart nudges this game's GamingPickz Score and where it ranks (a small 5% of the score), so the lists get better for everyone.

Where HEARKEN sits on the grid
The grid places every game in the catalogue on measured axes rather than on an opinion. This is where HEARKEN lands on each map it has the data for, with the share of the catalogue it beats on each axis.
- Year
- 100ahead of 77% of the catalogue
- Reach
- 0ahead of 0% of the catalogue
Percentiles are against the games that carry a reading on that axis, not the whole catalogue: counting a game with no figure as a zero would flatter everything that has one. How the grid works.
What readers say about HEARKEN
Reviews written by people who have played it. These are separate from the GamingPickz Score and are never averaged into it: that score comes from thousands of Steam reviews with a sample-size correction, and a handful of unverified ratings would distort it rather than improve it.
