About This Game

In Auditum, you are Joshua, a blind teenager searching for his missing father in a post-collapse Madrid consumed by death, desperation, and the few survivors left behind.

You cannot rely on sight. The world only becomes clear through sound: the tap of your cane, a click of your tongue, a bottle thrown into the dark, footsteps behind a wall, something breathing where nothing should be. Echolocation briefly reveals your surroundings, including doors, supplies, enemies, and escape routes, but every noise has a cost.

Explore ruined streets, abandoned apartments, flooded interiors, military remains, and survivor hideouts from a top-down perspective built around limited information and tactical movement. Listen before you move. Plan before you act.

Stealth, distraction, patience, and positioning are often the difference between surviving and being torn apart. Combat is brutal, costly, and unforgiving. If violence becomes unavoidable, you had better be prepared or die by your mistakes.

Resources are scarce. Scavenge improvised materials and make split-second decisions between healing, stealth, defense, and escape. Craft tools in real time while the world keeps moving around you. Even an empty bottle can become a distraction, a weapon component, or the last thing standing between Joshua and death.

The infected are not the only threat. Other humans may do anything to survive. Some may help you. Others will use you. Every choice you make, who you trust, who you spare, who you abandon, and how often you choose violence, shapes Joshua’s path.

There is no perfect way through Auditum.

Only what you do to survive, and the humanity that still remains in you.

Mature Content Description

The developers describe the content like this:

Auditum is a dark survival horror game set during a zombie apocalypse. Players control a blind teenage protagonist who uses echolocation to navigate hostile environments while searching for his father.

The full game is expected to contain intense horror, frequent violence, strong gore, blood, corpses, dismemberment, mutilated bodies, entrails, and grotesque depictions of zombie attacks. Some scenes may include cannibal survivors, human remains, people being killed or butchered, and disturbing post-apocalyptic survival situations.

The game may include environmental storytelling involving victims of the apocalypse, including corpses, skeletons, graves, and implied deaths of vulnerable characters as a result of the unforgiving violence of the setting. These elements are presented as tragic and non-interactive, and are not glamorized or depicted as targeted violence against a real-world group.

The story may also include kidnapping, theft, murder, self-defense killings, captivity, human experimentation, and other criminal acts as part of the worldbuilding and narrative. Some characters may use alcohol or tobacco, and the game may include the use of illegal drugs, stimulants, or substance abuse in military or survival contexts, including both voluntary and non-consensual use.

Combat is presented as dangerous, desperate, and morally costly rather than heroic or glamorous. The game does not include nudity, sexual content, explicit sexual content, or sexual violence.
