Abstract

Each type of game has different objectives and gameplay rules. Survival horror games are a genre that Thai game developers have developed and gained global recognition. For example, the game 'Home Sweet Home' simulates a frightening Thai atmosphere, requiring players not only to use their survival skills but also to introduce a novel approach to gameplay. Players must use sound to navigate and defend against ghosts, as well as dispel evil entities. Therefore, this research aimed to enhance the fun, excitement, and novelty of this genre by incorporating Voice Recognition technology. This adds a challenge beyond surviving attacks from demons, as players must choose the appropriate vocal response for different situations, such as staying silent, shouting loudly, or clapping hands, to complete mysterious missions successfully. Additionally, players must use their instincts to decide whether to sacrifice points when attacked or escape to survive. Based on a satisfaction analysis survey involving 15 participants aged 18-25, players acknowledged and were highly satisfied with usability in terms of ease of use, enjoyability, playability, and graphic quality, all received a rating of 4.33 out of 5
