What is The Silence After?

A free, single-player horror game about a survivor following a distress signal through an apocalyptic landscape. Sounds briefly reveal paths, obstacles, and threats as colored shapes. You crouch past monsters, time your movements, and use environmental noises to distract them in a student project designed for roughly ten minutes of play.
