"Cursed Echoes" is an innovative horror experience focused on creating a haunting atmosphere and a profound sense of despair. Unlike conventional jumpscare-driven horror games with loud noises, this project aims to truly unsettle and evoke genuine anxiety in players.

The dark and desolate setting is meticulously designed to convey a constant feeling of oppression. Subtle lighting combined with meticulous details enhances the sense of abandonment and solitude. The environments are filled with distant noises and eerie echoes, creating an immersive sense of discomfort.

The narrative of "Cursed Echoes" gradually unfolds through subtle clues scattered throughout the environment. Players are encouraged to cautiously explore their surroundings, discovering enigmatic diary entries, mysterious photographs, and disturbing objects that reveal the hidden secrets of this dark story.

The gameplay emphasizes psychological immersion and a sense of powerlessness. The protagonist remains in a constant state of vulnerability, without effective means of defense against the lurking threats. The game mechanics are designed to create escalating tension and mental challenges, where the ability to make crucial decisions and choose the right path can determine the character's fate.
