Squidge, splodge, splat: Skin Deep doesn't sound like most immersive sims. It doesn't sound like most video games. Close your eyes and what it aurally resembles is a slapstick cartoon with a healthy dollop of toilet humor. These sounds, though, bookend chains of effects that are pure video game magic.
