If you visit tech and gaming sites, you might have come across headlines like "The game where you have to shout at your PC to solve a crime" over the past week. It went pretty viral, because the premise is clearly interesting. That game is called Enhance.computer, and either I'm an epic dummy or it's the best worst troll of the week. I wouldn't rule out the former.
The Premise
The idea behind Enhance.computer is super interesting: you're supposed to be controlling the most advanced image enhancement software that works with voice commands. The software is connected to an AI that predicts crimes one minute before they happen. Your mission is to find, within that minute, a four-letter code that you must enter into a box to win. To find that code, you must give voice orders to the super intelligent software. Orders like enhance, zoom in, move up, etc. All very interesting, right? Of course! The problem, as I said, is that either my pronunciation is terrible or this game is one of the best trolls of the year.
Look, here I am trying to play.
My Attempt
As you can see, I did everything I could to get the game to recognize at least ONE voice command. But nothing. Am I too stupid to control such advanced software? Is my pronunciation that horrible? Maybe, maybe. At first I was going to write a recommendation for the game, not a critique. But after trying many more times than you can see in the video, I realized it wasn't something I could recommend.
So the ball is in your court, dear reader. Go to the game's site by clicking here and try it, and tell me your experience. I repeat: if the whole web has said it's a good game, it's very likely that I'm the dummy. You be the judge. Leave a comment!
Update
Update: Apparently, the comments confirm that I'm the idiot and the game works perfectly. I suspected as much, but I wanted to confirm it. Thanks for embarrassing me, Internet! ;)
