ECHO LOCATOR is a free browser game, free to play in the browser.
Marchwood House is pitch dark and you cannot carry a light. Every sound you make draws the room for you, and hands the Lamplighter your exact position in the same instant. A step lights a few feet of floor. A shrieking hinge lights a corridor. Strike the tuning fork and the whole room comes back at once, and so does he. The one rule the whole game is built on He hears exactly as far as you see.
That is one number in the code, not two: the same reach decides how far a sound reveals the house to you and how far it carries to him. There is no setting anywhere in this game that makes a look safe. Five systems that read each other Sound over a material map.
Moss, rug, boards, flagstone, glazed tile and flood water each carry a different loudness and a different reach, so the route you take decides how much of the house you get to see and how loud you are while seeing it. His attention. He walks toward loudness and recency. His lamp is the one thing you can see without making a sound, so the safest information in the game comes from the most dangerous object in it.
Panic. Near misses raise it.
