About this game
Description
Supplied by the Steam store
YOU SEE WITH SOUND. SO DO THEY.
The crypt is absolute darkness. Every step you take rings out as a pulse, a neon wave that reveals walls, doors, treasure, and everything that hunts you. Sound is your only light, and every light you make is a beacon for the blind things listening in the dark.
THE STORY
The villagers went below, and the dark kept them. You are the only one who walks in, armed with nothing but your own footsteps and a heartbeat that refuses to stay quiet. Somewhere at the bottom of the crypt waits the Great Resonance. Light every anchor, lead every lost soul out of the dark, and the crypt fills with light for the first time in an age. Fail, and the dark keeps you too.
HUNT BY EAR, SURVIVE BY SILENCE
Echolocation is everything. Walking lets you see. Sneaking keeps you silent but shows you nothing. Every movement is a trade between sight and safety.
Every hunter has its own rules. Stalkers chase every sound you make. Screechers sweep the dark with red sonar rings, and getting marked brings the whole floor running. Mimics wear the shape of treasure. Wardens walk fixed patrols, sweeping a gaze you can slip behind. Wailers wander the dark sending out pulses of their own that give you away. Burrowers wait underground until a loud noise draws them up. Bellringers lob sound bombs that mark you if the blast catches you.
Turn sound into a weapon. Throw a Decoy and let them hunt a lie. Stun the dark with a Tuning Fork. Ping ahead in silence before you commit to a doorway.
Rescue them all. Every villager you reach joins you and follows your light through the dark. Only when every soul is safe does the exit unseal.
A handcrafted descent. From your first breath to the Great Resonance. Die, and you go back into the dark to try again.
MAKE YOUR OWN DARK
A full level builder inside the game. Paint your own crypt, place the hunters, set the villagers, then play it or share it as a file with anyone.
PLAY IT YOUR WAY
Full controller support for Xbox, PlayStation, and generic pads. Every control is rebindable, on pad and keyboard alike.
Accessibility options: rhythm assist, a screen shake toggle, a high contrast reveal mode, and separate audio buses.
3D positional audio. Headphones strongly recommended. The game is meant to be heard.

Demo Update
The Sounding Dark - Demo UpdateBuild: The Sounding Dark Demo - September 5, 2026 Thank you to everyone who played the demo and sent feedback. This update is built almost entirely from it: fewer keys to juggle, no more unfair deaths on arrival, clearer timing in the heartbeat, and villagers who feel like people. ControlsSneak is now a toggle. Press Ctrl (LT on a controller) once to start sneaking and again to stop. A SNEAKING tag shows on screen while it is on. If you prefer holding the key, switch it off under Settings > Gameplay > Sneak toggle. Mouse buttons can be bound. Pulse, Sneak and every tool can now be set to left, right, middle or side mouse buttons in Settings > Controls. Sprint has been removed for now. It cost more than it gave and added one more held key. Spikes can be crossed safely by sneaking. Tutorial cards and death tips always show the key you actually have bound....
