About This Demo

The Echoes Below is a first-person psychological horror game set in an abandoned government bunker beneath the Appalachian forest.

The world exists only where sound reaches.

Every footstep, every pulse you send into the dark helps to understand the world around you. Silence gives nothing.

The facility has been sealed since 2013. Whatever remains has had a long time to listen.

Key Features

• See through sound. Every room, hallway, and object is revealed when you, or something else, makes noise. Footsteps, a whistle, a dropped object, even a faulty wire. Every sound helps you navigate a world where vision only lasts a moment.

• A notebook that remembers what you notice. Document objects, observations, and traces as you explore. What you choose to record shapes the conversations you have, and sometimes, the story you uncover.

• Environmental storytelling. People worked in this facility. Piece together who they were through personal belongings, habits, documents, and the spaces they left behind. Pay attention.

• No monsters. There is nothing chasing you. This game is about presence, attention, and what it means to be truly listened to... and what that may cost you.

Explore the bunker.

Document what you find.

Gain an understanding of what happened beneath the surface all those years ago.

ABOUT THIS DEMO 

This demo covers the opening of the full game. Playing as Nick, closing an ice cream shop, driving out to coordinates a stranger sent you, and descending into the bunker. The full game continues much further, with character arcs, a deeper notebook (and discovery) system, and a complete ending.
