Title says it all. I am re-recording all of my audio and I just wanted to know if I am making better sounding audio, or if it is just bad but in different ways than it was bad before. The linked twitter video shows and A/B of the audio used in the game. The first bit of audio is my original demo audio. That uses a headset microphone without much editing except for some normalization in Audacity. The second audio clip uses an audio technica microphone and it was post processed in Adobe Premier with basic male balance, noise reduction, and a noise gate. I don't have a studio or anything - just doing this in my office so I am relying on post to fix up my environment (which I know I should fix). Just wanted to get some feedback on whether this audio is going in a better direction. Also, my entire game takes place in a house. Not sure if that impacts the feedback.

Hi All, super excited to bring something new to the table after a year of on and off work on my project that I like to update every October. Eight Hours has been in the works since 2016, incrementally updated during the months of October and November. Really a passion project of mine as I learn the ropes of making fun games. Below are some screenshots and a description of the changes. I also include a game play of the entire demo, but there is more to the game you should experience yourself as I do not reveal everything in the short run through of the game.
We are excited to announce the launch of Eight Hours 3.3.0 - the release that changes everything! We included a bunch of great spooky features such as the following:
🎃 The mysterious basement is now unlockable!
🎃 The attic now has a purpose - what lies here?
🎃 You now have the ability to summon entities - do so at your own risk!
🎃 Increased gameplay length
🎃 Fixed how long it takes to discover all EVPs
🎃 The entry level now has a spooky story related to it - listen if you dare
Here is the video:

Eight Hours was lacking personality. So we gave it a chill pill and went ahead with adding some in game tutorials and hints about your equipment. If you pay close attention, you will notice that the game offers some hints as to what is going on.
A lot of feedback from YouTubers was that our entity was not scary. Yeah, it was lame. So we made it spookier by making it sneakier and harder to detect. We also updated some of the animations, death sequences, and damage sequences.
We decided that to get into the groove of the game, you needed more to do. So rather than only capturing EVPs, you can now capture photos and video of the entity. This had been in work since February and we are pretty happy with the results.
Full spectrum camera
This camera will enable you to take photos of spectral incidents. It will also enable you to capture visitations of an entity. Use wisely, it takes a while for the hardware to process what it is “seeing”. Finally, keep in mind that using it interrupts spectral activity.
Night Vision Camera
This is a standard night vision camera. Sometimes still photos are not enough to capture evidence of the supernatural. This is where the infrared of the night vision camera comes in handy. This will be used to capture entity activity in motion. Careful, it does not have the powers of the Full Spectrum Camera, so you are quite vulnerable while using it.
We also added icons for most equipment and items. We also added the following resource: Batteries and Medication.
