About the Game

Phonophobia plunges you into a first-person psychological horror journey, where sound and silence dictate your survival. As terrifying truths emerge from the dark, use your wits to solve environmental puzzles and explore haunting, forgotten locations. Every sound echoes with danger; can you uncover the mystery before the darkness consumes you?

Story:

You awaken in the ruins of a destroyed train station with no memory of who you are or why you arrived. Escape the wreckage and navigate an unsettling village to piece together your forgotten past.

As you gather clues and investigate forgotten locations, severe psychological trauma plagues your mind, fracturing your perception of reality. But lost memories aren't the only thing hunting you—a relentless spirit stalks your every move, distorting your surroundings and playing tricks on your sanity. To survive, you must solve environmental puzzles, uncover the truth behind your identity, and find a way to escape the village before the entity breaks your mind completely.

Key Features

  • Psychological Trauma & Hallucinations: Experience a fracturing mind where staying still for too long drags you into total darkness. Face sudden blackouts, auditory illusions, visual distortions, and shifting environments that force you to keep moving.

  • Relentless Spirit Threat: Evade a haunting entity that stalks your every step. Adapt to unpredictable encounters as it manipulates your surroundings, distorts your perception, and disrupts your attempt to escape.

  • Environmental Puzzle-Solving: Fix power stations, tune radios, crack code-locked doors, and bypass mechanical obstacles to open new paths through the village.

  • Sound-Based Navigation: Listen closely to your environment. Use audio cues to navigate dark areas, track threats, and pinpoint essential puzzle elements.

  • Environmental Storytelling: Uncover codes, clues, and story details hidden organically within the world. Examine abandoned letters, cryptic notes, and environmental details to piece together your past and solve intricate puzzles.
