About This Game

Withering Reflections is an asymmetrical 4v1 multiplayer horror game where four survivors are trapped in a nightmarish realm ruled by an enigmatic force known as the Echo. This entity feeds on fear, regret, and despair, using the survivors' deepest fears to keep them trapped. Each match is a hide-and-seek struggle to escape, requiring survivors to confront their pasts and work together against a relentless killer.

Key Gameplay Features

- Reflect Your True Self: Survivors must find and reflect themselves in enchanted Mirrors of Reflection scattered across the map. These mirrors reveal their inner fears and help weaken the Echo's hold, gradually unlocking the path to escape. Interacting with mirrors is a crucial step in overcoming the Echo’s influence.
