The synopsis takes you into an unsolved mystery: in 1942, an entire district of Paris disappeared overnight. Decades later, workers attempting to renovate the area are falling into a state of dementia, claiming paranormal phenomena. The mediums, embodied by the participants, must explore these deserted alleys, abandoned cafés and subways, while being guided by mysterious sounds, distant voices and auditory distortions. Each player perceives unique sounds, depending on his or her psychic powers and progress in the story.

Sculpteurs de Rêves, always on the lookout for new immersive experiences, is collaborating here with IO Studio for Echo 42, to highlight the potential of spatialized audio. According to David Sabaté, scriptwriter for the experience: "We wanted to send out a strong, meaningful signal by recycling sets from a past creation and offering an experience at the crossroads of escape game, role-playing game and spatialized audio". This fusion of cinema sets, immersive audio and complex puzzles guarantees a terrifying and innovative experience. When we say you'll have the fright of your life... Box office opening soon.
