Plot
Echoes of Shadows follows the harrowing journey of twin brothers, Alex and Ethan, who mysteriously find themselves trapped in a foreboding mansion. As they awaken in the eerie confines, they realize they are not alone. The mansion is infested with malevolent stalkers, each harboring a dark desire for the twins. To unravel the twisted web of their past and escape the mansion, the brothers must confront their deepest fears and discover the unsettling truth that binds them to this place.

Gameplay and Mechanics
Players control one twin at a time, switching between Alex and Ethan as they navigate the mansion's labyrinthine halls, hidden passages, and treacherous rooms.


 * 1) Evasion and Stealth: The twins must remain hidden from the stalkers, using their environment to their advantage. Players must utilize objects to distract the stalkers, create diversions, or conceal themselves effectively.
 * 2) Puzzle Solving: To progress through each level, the brothers must solve intricate puzzles that unveil fragments of their past and reveal secrets about the mansion. These puzzles range from mechanical contraptions to cryptic riddles, each requiring logic and keen observation.
 * 3) Resource Management: The twins have limited resources, such as bandages, flashlights, and makeshift weapons. Players must scavenge for supplies while managing their usage wisely, as each encounter with a stalker may leave them injured or defenseless.
 * 4) Twin Cooperation: Certain puzzles and challenges can only be overcome through the cooperation of both brothers. Players can switch between Alex and Ethan to exploit their unique abilities, such as Alex's agility or Ethan's knowledge of mechanical systems.
 * 5) Fear and Sanity: The twins' fear and sanity levels play a crucial role. As they endure traumatic experiences, their mental states deteriorate, affecting their abilities, perception, and decision-making. Managing their sanity becomes vital to their survival.
