Description

Echoes of the Shadows is a horror game where players take on the role of a cleaner tasked with preparing an abandoned house for sale. The game features atmospheric tension, interactive mechanics, and a ghostly presence that serves as a constant threat. Players must manage limited resources, including a flashlight with depleting batteries, while navigating the eerie environment and avoiding the ghost.

Features

  • Limited Resources: Use a flashlight to repel the ghost, but beware of limited battery life.

  • Immersive Gameplay: Engaging audio-visual design to create tension and fear.

Gameplay Mechanics

  1. Cleaning Tasks: Complete objectives like clearing rooms and fixing objects.
  2. Flashlight Mechanic: Use the flashlight to fend off the ghost. Batteries are limited, so manage them wisely.
