It Hears You: Together

It Hears You: Together is a co-op horror game for a small research team stranded in a forest. After reports of animals disappearing and strange tracks, the team camps in the woods. When you wake in the dead of night, hours are missing from your memory, communications are down, the radio is filled with static, the compass is unreliable and the forest is silent.

Stag

Stag, a bipedal deer mutant with a towering silhouette, a muscular body and massive antlers, hunts in the forest. Nearly blind, he hears footsteps, breathing, clinking gear, snapped branches and even a stranger's heartbeat. The more noise you make, the faster he finds you and the more savage his attack becomes.

Escape the forest

Your team can pursue either of two escape routes, or work on both at once. Both take time and require you to make noise and venture into the open, drawing Stag's attention.

• Fix the car: find missing parts scattered through the forest and drive away.
• Power up the cell tower: restore its power, call the world beyond the forest and wait for evacuation.

Survive together

You can divide tasks among the team: one player can search for parts, another work on the tower and another watch the escape routes. Listen for footsteps in the leaves, distant cracks and breathing as warnings. You can also use sound to misdirect Stag, such as throwing a stone or starting an engine, but doing so carries a risk. Staying together matters, since anyone alone in the forest is prey.

The game includes in-game voice chat, and every word can reveal your position. Stag reacts to voices, player actions and the surrounding environment. Parts and points of interest are procedurally generated, and each match takes place in a new location with a new set of items to find.
