⚠️ MICROPHONE HIGHLY RECOMMENDED

This game uses your real-world microphone input to generate in-game noise. If you scream, it will hear you. If you breathe too loudly, it will find you.

// THE SIGNAL

The facility is abandoned. The geometry isn't stable. The walls breathe when you look away.

You are a retrieval unit sent into the depths of a derelict industrial complex. Your orders were clear: Retrieve the Core Data to save the Surface Colony. But the deeper you go, the more the static speaks. The mission was a lie.

The Core isn't a power source. It's a weapon.

// FEATURES

• 🔊 AUDITORY STEALTH: The game listens to your microphone. Use Creep Mode to stay silent, but be warned: a real-world cough or a scream of terror will spike your in-game noise meter and attract the Entity.
• 📺 AAA INDUSTRIAL AESTHETIC: A custom-built rendering engine contained entirely within a single HTML file. Experience a grimy, retro-future world with CRT scanlines, chromatic aberration, and simulated screen curvature.
• 👣 ADAPTIVE AI: You are not alone.
  • The Stalker: Hunts by sound.
  • The Weeping Angel: Moves only when you aren't looking.
  • The Glitcher: Corrupts reality and hides in the visual noise.
• 📡 TACTILE INTERFACE: Manually calibrate your sonar array, hack security terminals with pattern-matching protocols, and manage your dwindling battery reserves.
• Procedural Audio: No pre-recorded MP3s. Every drone, footstep, and screech is synthesized in real-time by the code.
