About the Game

You wake up in absolute darkness. There shouldn’t be anyone else in the apartment—but it seems someone or something is watching you…

“Is Anybody There?” is a first-person horror in which you are deprived of sight. You’ll flee a mysterious pursuer by navigating the game world with your hearing and echolocation. Solve audio-based puzzles, survive, and immerse yourself in the story through cinematic scenes, flashbacks, and notes. What lies behind the attempt to abduct you?

YOU ARE BLIND

You’ll step into the role of a blind boy for whom hearing, touch, and imagination have replaced sight—an idea that underscores the game’s unique visual style. Navigate via echolocation, listen to your surroundings and to the dangers lurking in the dark. Feel notes written in Braille that will help you make sense of what’s happening.

“Is Anybody There?” doesn’t waste your time wandering to figure out “what to do next.” The game is event-driven, with gameplay situations following one another so you never get bored.

TRUST YOUR EARS

Thanks to spatial audio technology, you’ll hear sounds not only left or right, but even as if someone is breathing down your neck. Sound goes beyond simple positioning: it realistically reflects off surfaces and becomes distorted as it filters through thin barriers.

We hired professional actors to voice all characters to help you fully immerse in the game’s atmosphere.

Audio in this game is not just sound — it’s the foundation of the gameplay. Most challenges are based on auditory perception, from straightforward navigation to modest puzzles.

HE’S NEARBY

You are not alone in the dark. The antagonist is always close and SEES you. He can catch you at any moment… but he doesn’t rush. He wants to play, to frighten you, to break you.

Expect intense chase sequences that will test your spatial awareness and your hearing.

Multiple endings: your first playthrough won’t be the last — pay attention to unlock the alternate ending. Can you stand up to the stalker?

PLAYTIME

Is Anybody There? is a short but tightly packed horror experience — a full playthrough takes about 60–120 minutes.
