Epoch Media Studios are looking to mix up the PvP genre with their upcoming title Soul Walker. The game is currently part of the Xbox Developer Acceleration Program and will also be coming to Steam.

“Our goal is to deliver an immersive experience with innovative gameplay mechanics, compelling storytelling, and visually stunning design,” says Epoch Media’s CEO and Creative Director, Jeffery Thompson Jr.

Epoch Media let Vice in on a few details about the game, which was originally penned as a film script.

The game casts you as the eponymous creature, or as a lone survivor in a cat-and-mouse battle. As the Soul Walker, you must rely on sound rather than sight to locate the Survivor. Audio clues when the Survivor runs past objects will aid the Soul Walker in pinpointing where to go. You’ve also got several abilities to help you maneuver as well as incapacitate your target.

Meanwhile, the Survivor can fight back with the use of crystals scattered around the stage, which can be thrown at the Soul Walker to buy yourself some time. However, you’ll need to be smart, as holding onto the crystals for too long will cause them to explode, leaving you in complete blackness.
