You are Alex, a curious journalist who has decided to investigate the mysterious disappearance of the entire staff of Synergy Soft. Six months ago, all the employees went mad at once, staging a bloody massacre. The official version is mass psychosis. But the truth is much more terrifying.

You sneak into the abandoned office, where time has stopped. Desks are smashed, personal belongings and suicide notes are scattered everywhere. You quickly realize that something is wrong here. The air hums with unnatural silence, and the shadows on the walls move on their own.

You must:

Explore the eerie office complex: from standard workrooms to the luxurious director's office, from the underground laboratory to the hidden rooms on the second floor. Each room holds its own secrets and a piece of the overall tragedy.

Uncover a dark secret. Collect notes, audio diaries, and reports to piece together the puzzle of the incident. Find out what the “Silence Protocol” is, who “The Acoustician” was, and how the director's desperate experiment ended.

Key features:

Silence-based gameplay: Manage your fear and noise level. Sometimes the best tactic is to freeze and hold your breath.

Psychological horror: The game plays on your most basic fears—darkness, the unknown, and sounds coming from the void. Screamers are not an end in themselves, but part of a terrifying narrative.

Mysterious surroundings: An office that was once a symbol of success has turned into a labyrinth of fear, where a silent nightmare lurks around every corner.
