A multiplayer horror game. Work together to escape the island. Hunt by sound to murder your friends.

64/ 100 marketing readiness

What is working

  • Strong horror hook: proximity chat and a blind monster that sees by sound
  • Trailer plus 10 screenshots and up to 12-player online support

What to fix

  • Team item-carry rules are interesting but under-shown, add a clip or GIF-worthy shot
  • Crowded social-horror space, name what beats the obvious comparisons
  • Early Access content and map count unstated
  • shortDescription is terse, spell out the escape objective
