Overview

Sonus is a multiplayer party game that drops you into a pitch-black world where visibility is a luxury. Developed and published by Uncle Dunc, this casual title blends stealth, horror, and cooperative play into a tense cat-and-mouse chase.

The game launched on October 26, 2026, and supports both online co-op and PvP modes, making it a versatile pick for groups who enjoy asymmetric gameplay.

Highlights

  • Echo-Based Vision: The only way to see is through echoes generated by your footsteps and your Sonus launcher. This creates a unique sensory mechanic where sound becomes your primary tool.
  • Two Distinct Roles: Play as a Stone Seeker, trying to locate and retrieve the Sonus Stone, or as a Stone Keeper, tasked with hunting down the Seekers before they escape.
  • Special Echo Abilities: Passing through certain echoes grants temporary effects, such as slowing down enemies or boosting your team, adding a layer of strategy to movement and positioning.

Who It's For

Sonus is ideal for players who enjoy social deduction, stealth, and light horror elements without the gore. If you like games like Among Us or Dead by Daylight but want something more casual and accessible, this fits the bill.

It's also great for online co-op sessions with friends, as communication and teamwork are key to surviving the dark.
