Shadows of The Circuit is an audio-focused action game set in a dystopian megastructure known only as "The Circuit". In this low-light environment where sight is a luxury, sound becomes your only true ally. You take on the role of a lone Runner, tasked with navigating through a sea of surveillance drones and racing desperately for the exit.
The gameplay relies heavily on high-fidelity 3D Spatial Audio. Players must learn to trust their ears to detect the hum of approaching drones or locate loot hidden in the shadows. Survival requires a balance of speed and strategy; you must decide whether to linger and scavenge for resources or sprint for safety before the surveillance grid closes in. The game offers both a structured campaign mode to learn the mechanics and an infinite mode with procedurally generated levels for endless challenges.
Main features of Shadows of The Circuit:
- Immersive 3D Audio: Navigate the game world using high-fidelity spatial sound to locate threats and objectives without relying on sight.
- Two Game Modes: Includes "Operations" with 5 high-stakes levels for initiation, and "Deployment" (Infinite Mode) with procedurally generated sectors.
- Strategic Upgrades: Collect upgrade modules like Silent Soles to dampen footsteps or Structural Scanners to find exits.
- Risk and Reward: Manage Echo Fragments and decide whether to explore for loot or escape quickly to survive.
- Global Leaderboards: Track your sectors cleared and run times against other Runners in "The Records".
