Vox is a classic-style adventure game controlled with your voice! In Vox, the player acts as “Guy in the chair” and gives verbal commands to help a young man escape the mysterious mansion he finds himself trapped in…
Vox utilizes the “Hugging Face” Unity API in order to convert the player’s text to speech in seconds, allowing the player to physically tell the character where to go and what to do in order to solve puzzles and escape!

An interesting approach to creating a puzzle/mystery game. When switching cameras, some views/angles are essentially looking at nothing but a wall. It may be good to have additional individual camera angles per spot to make them at least provide something. It would also be nice to have a way to re-inspect a point of interest. It could be painfully tedious to go back and forth to just re-inspect.
This game is awesome sauce as it has a cool concept and a lot of progress added into it! For feedback, I would say that it's a bit small and the camera movements can be jittery and allow minimal control. I'm really excited to see where it goes and thanks for sharing!
