About the Game

You awaken to find yourself in complete darkness.

"Echo Maze" is a completely new auditory exploration puzzle game that entirely eliminates visual information.

The only thing players can rely on is their own sense of hearing. You must accurately perceive the direction and distance of the various sounds you hear around you, drawing a map of the Mazes in your mind.

However, not every sound will lead you to the exit.

If you cannot distinguish the danger hidden in the sounds, death may be just one step away.

Can you escape from this Mazes of sound with your sharpened hearing and concentration?

A total of 51 Mazes lie in wait for you.

Key Features

  • [Innovative Gameplay with Zero Visuals]

    The main gameplay screen is complete darkness. Without relying on any graphics, players are immersed in a pure audio experience that stimulates their imagination. The thrill of navigating the darkness, sharpening only your hearing and concentration, offers an unprecedented gaming experience.

  • [Realistic Navigation with 3D Binaural Audio]

    By wearing headphones or earphones, you can identify the direction and distance of sound sources. The ticking of a bomb, the cracking of a glass floor, the sound of an anomaly... Use these sounds to accurately grasp your position and surroundings, and create a mental map.

  • [Tension Where Sound is Both a Hint and a Trap]

    Some sounds will guide you, while others may be traps that lure you into danger. Is that sudden noise in the silence a crucial hint, or an invitation to your doom? A tense soundscape that allows for no lapses in concentration awaits the player.

  • A Variety of Gimmicks to Test Your Hearing: This is not a simple maze; various traps await to test the player's ability to listen and distinguish sounds.

For a fully immersive experience, the use of headphones or earphones is strongly recommended.
