Inside, time doesn’t pass. It accumulates. Every scream, every whispered prayer, every last choked sob ever silenced by abuse has congealed into a single entity: THE BASTILLE. A predator that doesn’t see light or motion. It hears guilt.
Psychological Survival Horror / Immersive Sim (Lite) Platform: PC / Current Gen Consoles Concept: A “repack” is not a remaster or a remake. It is a recontainment . The original Mute House (a fictional 2018 indie cult classic about a sound-based monster) has been stripped down to its core dread, re-encoded with modern AI-driven audio simulation, and expanded into a non-linear nightmare where the player’s own microphone becomes the primary weapon… and the primary weakness. 1. THE PREMISE (Lore Repack) In 1987, the Hawthorne Speech Therapy Clinic for Non-Verbal Children vanished overnight. No missing persons report. No demolition. The building simply… un-existed. Thirty-seven years later, urban explorers discover a door that shouldn't be there—a perfect brass handle on a blank brick wall of an abandoned subway tunnel. THE MUTE HOUSE-Repack
| State | Action | Consequence | | :--- | :--- | :--- | | (Total silence) | Crouch-walk, hold breath, muffle doors. | Invisible to Bastille. But stress builds. Hallucinations appear as visual noise . | | WHISPER (Minimal input) | Tap walls, knock over a book, exhale. | Distracts Bastille to a location. Risk: The echo lingers for 6 seconds. | | SHOUT (Loud action) | Slam a door, break glass, use the Emitter. | Bastille instantly locks on. But loud sounds repack corrupted audio data into usable keys. | Inside, time doesn’t pass
You are not a hero. You are a “Repack Agent”—a forensic audio-cleaner hired by a secretive agency to enter cognitively-hazardous spaces and delete the echo of trauma. Your tools: a parabolic microphone, a white-noise emitter, and a vow of silence. The Mute House isn’t haunted by a ghost. It is the ghost. The building breathes. The walls listen. And the Bastille has learned to mimic human speech—not to lure you, but to make you speak in anger . 2. CORE MECHANICS – “THE SOUND TRIANGLE” The gameplay is built on three interlocking audio states, visualized by a live spectral analyzer on the player’s wrist-device. A predator that doesn’t see light or motion
Tagline: Silence is the last memory. Screaming is the first symptom.
