Echophobia

About the Game

"Silence won't save you, but laughing will definitely get you caught!"

Echophobia is not a grim, slow-paced horror game. It is a chaotic, laugh-out-loud 1v3 multiplayer party game inspired by the classic childhood game of "Blind Man's Buff".

One player becomes the blind, overpowered Hunter who can only see the world when sound is made. The other three are Runners trapped in complete darkness, trying to power the escape gates, survive, andkeep their friends from giggling into the microphone!

THE HUNTER: A BLIND PREDATOR POWERED BY YOUR NOISE

You are blind, terrifying, and fast. The pitch-black world is invisible to you until someone makes a sound.

• Lidar Sonar Vision: Every footstep, door slam, and microphone whisper paints the map with expanding sonar waves.

• Listen Closely: Track down panic-stricken runners through your real-time sound perception.

• Hunt with Style: Charge through corridors, break their plans, and deliver instant, comedic jumpscares!

THE RUNNERS: SNEAK, RUN, AND HOLD YOUR BREATH

You and two friends are trapped in darkness with only one objective: find the batteries, bring them to the altar, and open the exit.

• Every Move Has a Price: Walking quietly is safe, sprinting paints a giant target on your back.

• Voice Chat is Dangerous: Real-life microphone detection means laughing, gasping, or screaming lights you up like a neon sign for the Hunter.

• Team Up (Or Don't): True cooperation is rewarding, but watching your friend sprint into a wall in pure panic is priceless.

TRICK, TROLL, AND SURVIVE: DECOYS & GADGETS

Who said you have to play fair?

• Throw Noise Decoys: Launch sonar decoys to send the Hunter sprinting in the completely wrong direction.

• Comedic Betrayals: Did the Hunter corner you? Toss a decoy near your hiding teammate and casually slip away!

• Mind Games: Fake noises, throw objects, and turn the darkness into your ultimate playground.

NO FRIEND LEFT BEHIND... UNLESS IT'S FUNNY

When a teammate gets caught, they aren't out of the game yet they are downed and waiting for rescue!

• High-Stakes Clutch Revives: Sneak past the hunting monster to bring your downed friends back into the match.

• Instant Chaos: One wrong step during a rescue can turn a heroic save into a hilarious double-elimination.

DEATH IS NOT THE END: THE ECHO PHANTOM

Nobody likes sitting on a boring spectator screen waiting for the round to end. In Echophobia, getting caught twice transforms you into a wandering Echo and the real mind games begin!

• Stay in the Action: As an Echo, you are dead but far from powerless. Roam freely, scout the map, and whisper intel to your surviving friends about the Hunter’s whereabouts and battery locations.

• Proximity Whispers: You are invisible to your friends and they can only hear your voice when you fly close to them.

• The Double-Edged Sword: Here’s the catch, the Hunter can see your Echo from anywhere on the map! If you hover around your friends to give info, the Hunter will notice where you're gathering and hunt them down!

• Mastermind Baits: Are you exposing your friends, or are you acting as the ultimate bait? Float in a remote corner to trick the Hunter into a wild goose chase while your teammates finish the ritual in peace!
