GAME OVERVIEW
You’ll have to dig up keys, crack open locked doors, solve puzzles, and sniff out hidden passages as you go. This is a first-person horror game, and honestly, just staying alive isn’t enough—you need to explore, poke around in the dark, and figure things out while the shadows keep secrets.
You’re Alex, a journalist who just can’t let things go—especially the truth behind what happened at Synergy Soft. Six months ago, the whole staff lost their minds in a single night, and it ended in a massacre. The official story? Mass psychosis. That never sat right with you. The real answer is a lot worse.
So, you break into the abandoned office. Time’s stopped here—destroyed desks, personal stuff scattered everywhere, suicide notes left behind like warnings. The End of History

Right away, you sense it. Something’s off. The silence buzzes, the air feels heavy, and shadows shift when you turn your back.
You push deeper—through bland cubicles, the director’s over-the-top office, weird labs underground, and secret rooms hidden upstairs. Every spot has a piece of the story, showing what really happened in this place.
You start collecting scraps: notes, old recordings, classified files. Bit by bit, it all points to something called the “Silence Protocol,” a mysterious figure named “The Acoustician,” and the director’s last wild experiment that sent everything spiraling.
Here’s the twist—sound is dangerous. The whole game runs on keeping quiet. Sometimes, running or fighting just makes things worse. The smartest move? Freeze, hold your breath, and pray nothing hears you.
This isn’t just cheap jump scares. It gets in your head—fear of the dark, being alone, knowing something’s out there but not seeing it. This place used to be a normal office, but now every hallway feels wrong. Even the quiet wants to get you.
