Echo-Location

You can't see the room — you can only listen to it, and so can the things hunting you.

How to play

Every level is total darkness. Throwing a rock cracks against a wall and briefly lights the shape of the room around the impact, like sonar. The catch: the same noise draws blind predators that home in on whatever they hear. Pick a path to the exit, ping just enough to find your way, and never make a sound you don't need to make.

• Reach each level's exit to descend deeper; the run is an endless survival ladder and your score is how far down you get.
• Rocks are limited — collect more from the floor and don't waste them.
• Footsteps make noise too, so moving carelessly can give you away.
• Get touched by a hunter and the run ends.

Controls

• Desktop: tap/click a spot to walk there; press-and-hold to throw a rock toward that point. Press the Pulse button (or P / Space) for a sonar blast that stuns nearby hunters but screams your position. Keys 1–4 audition creature voices, 0 resets, M mutes, H toggles haptics.
• Phone & tablet: fully touch-playable — tap to move, hold to throw, tap Pulse to blast; supported devices also rumble as danger closes in.

Tips & strategy

• Throw rocks ahead of you, not at your feet — light the path you're about to take.
• Save the Pulse for emergencies: it stuns a closing hunter but its loud blast can pull others toward you.
• When a hunter is actively chasing, freeze and go quiet; many will lose your trail if you stop making sound.
• Grab rock pickups whenever they're on the way; running out leaves you nearly blind.
