Echophobia is an online party game where sound is your only vision and your greatest enemy. One blind Hunter tracks prey using echolocation. Runners must complete rituals in silence. If you scream into your real-life microphone, you light up the dark. Hunt or be hunted.

"Silence won't save you, but screaming will definitely kill you."
Echophobia takes the childhood game of "Blind Man's Buff" and turns it into a terrifyingly fun nightmare. In this 1v3 asymmetric PvP, the world is shrouded in absolute darkness. The only way to see is to make noise—but noise is exactly what gets you caught.
THE CHAOS
The Hunter: You are blind, but you are the predator. You see the world through "Lidar-like" sonar waves. Every footstep, every nervous giggle, and every scream from the Runners paints the world for you. Hunt them down.
The Runners: You are trapped in pitch blackness. Work together (or sacrifice each other) to find ritual objects and escape. Throw objects to distract the Hunter, hide in corners, and pray your teammate doesn't sneeze.
CORE FEATURES
Microphone Detection: The game is listening. If you scream in real life, you light up in the game like a Christmas tree. Try to hold your breath while your friends panic.
Visualized Sound: Darkness is your canvas, sound is your paint. Watch your steps, or you’ll reveal your location with every move.
Chaotic Fun: Use decoys to trick the Hunter, or accidentally throw a bottle at your friend and give away their position. Cooperation is optional; survival is key.
