Sourcebound

The screen is black, and something is listening. Every footstep, every sonar pulse, every click of a hunter sends out a wave that paints the walls in neon, and then the dark takes them back. Move quietly and you see almost nothing. Make noise and everything down here knows where you are. Sourcebound is a top-down stealth horror game played by ear. No scripted jumpscares, no gore: only the dark, and the things that hunt by sound inside it. Best played with headphones. WHAT HUNTS YOU Blind things that click in red. They wander, they turn toward every noise, they come to look, and when they are close they chase. Deeper down you meet the sentinel that howls to call the others, the tracker that follows your footprints, the prowler that makes no sound at all and only your sonar reveals, a guardian posted at the exit, and a colossus whose wave sweeps the whole level. LISTEN • Your sonar reveals everything around you, and every hunter hears it • Sprint to break away, but sprinting is loud • Sneak to go silent, at the price of being nearly blind • Throw a pebble to send them looking somewhere else DESCEND Collect the golden shards to unseal the exit, then go one level deeper. Every stratum has its own acoustics and its own ambience: dripping water, wind in the tunnels, buried machinery, an underground river, a dungeon, vast caverns. Near the Source, something enormous seems to breathe far below. The levels are generated fresh every run, and no descent goes the same way twice. Twenty levels down lies the Source of silence. Reach it, or keep going into the endless dark. FREE AND FULL The first eight levels are free. The full version opens the descent all the way to the Source, the endless mode, the daily challenge, and every level of Resonances. One purchase, no subscription. GROW STRONGER Every shard you collect is banked forever. Spend it on Resonances: permanent upgrades to your breath, your reach, your memory of the walls, your quiet steps. Each descent also offers a Relic: a single gift that lasts until you die. ALSO • Made for headphones: every creature is placed by ear, and sound effects follow the action, not the music • A daily challenge (full version): the same descent for everyone, one attempt • Full touch controls, designed for the phone • Adaptive procedural music that tightens when they find you • Ten strata down to the Source, each with its own look and music: nine visual themes (Neon, Lidar, Chalk, Cyanotype, Segments, Vector, Lidar 3D, Dungeon, Cave) and eleven music ambiances • English and French Every texture, every level and all of the music in this game are generated by code.

• The ship on the studio screen can now be heard • The music is a little quieter by default, so the orchestra of each level comes through • Small fixes
