House of Echoes

GAME INFO

House of Echoes is an immersive and atmospheric first-person horror game that combines excellent graphics with chilling sound effects to create an unsettling experience. It eschews the usual jump-scares and other overt frightening elements, relying instead on an eerie atmosphere that will haunt you more deeply than any monster could. The protagonist finds themselves inexplicably admitted to the notorious psychiatric hospital known as "House of Echoes," with the intention of studying and coming into direct contact with paranormal phenomena. However, what begins as a quest for knowledge soon turns into a very difficult and harrowing adventure, as the hospital reveals itself to be an abode of unimaginable pain and fear. Controls are intuitive and designed to enhance the gaming experience: WASD or the arrow keys allow you to navigate through the dark and foreboding corridors, spacebar enables you to jump over obstacles or to evade lurking dangers, the mouse is used to move the camera, giving you a 360-degree view of your surroundings, pressing E allows you to interact with objects and progress through the storyline, Q toggles the flashlight on and off, an essential tool to pierce the darkness but also a potential risk as it can draw attention, and R opens the mission panel, where you can track your objectives and stay focused on escaping this nightmarish institution.
