8 itemsAbout the Game
Centuries of living in darkness has robbed you of sight, but in return, you have gained extraordinary hearing. After a tragic turning point, you must venture into uncharted caverns filled with monster's. Armed only with a whip and your ability to "see" through sound, you must fight, navigate, and survive in this new world.
Echolocation
Navigate pitch-black environments by generating sound waves that reveal your surroundings. Every movement, crack of your whip, or environmental noise helps you visualize the world around you.
Cartography
The cave's twisting tunnels, towering chasms, and shifting paths can disorient even seasoned explorers. To avoid getting lost, you'll need to draw your own map or risk wandering in circles.
Sound Sensitivity
While sound is your greatest asset, too much noise can overwhelm your senses. Use your whip wisely, or risk temporary deafness.
Crack And Move
Your whip isn't just a weapon, it's a tool for traversal. Swing across chasms, disarm enemies, and strike with precision.
