Albedo
A downloadable game for Windows
Solve the mysteries enclosed in the most dreadful manor of the 19th century. Discover the powers of a transcendental language and use them in your favour with your own voice, you will need it to survive against terrifying encounters with something beyond the human. Are you ready to experience the next level of immersion?
Notice: A microphone is required to play this game.
Environment
Albedo is set inside an abandoned manor in which terrible things have happened. You’ll wander through the bowels of this old place, discover a transcendental language, and get defied by puzzles, but soon, you’ll realise that you’re not alone. Are you brave enough to find out who or what is behind all of this?
Story
Generation after generation, the family of the Willard fail to understand the sudden death of their members at certain age of their growth. However, some of them recall a hermit lady, one of their ancestors, who was very young when she left home to go nowhere to be seen. They say she went to live isolated from humanity in the depths of an ancient forest and, after years and years of research, you've finally found the place where she decided to spend her last days.
Gameplay
In Albedo, your voice is your only defence and your main tool to progress, but you’ll also be able to pick up elements, interact with the environment, and search for things that may help you solve the mysteries hidden in the place, revealing terrible stories. Through the course of the game, you'll learn new powers and use them on your own will, leading your fate to one way or another. Remember to use them correctly in every situation and unlock improvements to increase your chances of survival. Darkness does not forgive those who are weak-willed.

the concept of gameplay for this was absolutely unique and wonderful to use. i really enjoyed myself using the keyword mechanics. this was the perfect sized game for the gameplay loop, and by making the ruby stay in your possession or the souls staying collected made it a lot less frustrating to beat. wonderful game here, kudos!
very cool game! i couldn't finish it though, after getting the nima spell and following the footprints it led me to a pot in the basement with nothing in it. I watched a couple of playthroughs and it seems that there were supposed to be spots where i had to use the adul spell that weren't there for me, also the item wasn't in the pot.
Hey guys hope you enjoy the video as much as I enjoyed the game!
That lady spooked me real good sometimes, I love the unnervingly quiet nature of the house and I'm slightly embarrassed to admit that the sounds of the doors closing behind me scared me every single time XD
I tried playing this game, can't get past 1st level (tutorial most likely) because game can't detect my mic or something like that, if someone knows what's going on and knows solution please help!
it was good, but it took me a while to understand the key to open the first door was W, as I had changed my binding, it was very frustrating at first
Hi ! Like other people in the comments my microphone don't work in the game (yes I made the right mic the default mic in my Windows settings).
It looks like the problem apears from months ago according to the comments. this is not a derogatory remark It just a deduction don't worry, even if I'm not a game developer I know that it may be difficult to fix some types of bugs.
The game seems to be a good one so I wish it to be functional so I can play it :)
Clarification : my mic work right after I close the window that explain the fonctionality of the spell but after I stop using the spell I can't reuse it
The game is pretty decent though when i tried to get the ruby i died and then when i respawned i wasn't able to use any spell and i tried getting myself killed and it still won't wor so you might look into fixing this bug
The microphone doesnt pick up in the game, and yes I set my mic to the default microphone in windows but still nothing...
I love the concept and story of this game! I had a blast playing it.
my microphone wasnt picked up, i tried everything pls someone help me
You might want to set you're default microphone in the windows settings. That fixed it for me. Hoped I helped! :)
my microphone wasnt picked up, i tried everything
Highly recommend!
That first encounter with the Ghost Lady had me jumping back so far from my monitor lmao! Loved the game, great job!
I can't start the game, it shows the unity window then disappears. Can someone help please?
Had fun playing this game and enjoyed the mic feature. check out my video and enjoy
REALLY fun game and a really cool concept!
You can watch my playthrough/reaction here. (:
Also, would LOVE to see more games like this!
Hello! I had fun with the game! It was terrifying at parts, very interesting, and had a uniqueness that many games lack.
The spells were a great idea and they were implemented and executed perfectly. The ghost was a little buggy, but nothing game-breaking.
Thank you for a fun experience, I will leave my gameplay below for anyone that may be interested in checking it out! Thanks, once again!
Hello there! I LOVED THIS. It was a really cool feature and execution of it! There were parts that really got me and overall it was a cool experience! Heres my playthrough if you wanna see!
Hello, my microphone doesn't seem to be picked up.
I see that several of us have the same problem...
Do you have an idea?
Can you add in the options, the possibility of configuring the input microphone ?
i got a glitch/bug and got in a position where i culd see truh walls, got out with crouching and continued, but culdnt proceed becouse the door lock melted with the door and there wasnt a possibel interaction. It was just Strange.
After thirty-one games (in less than a week) for my B&W horror anthology series, congrats! Your game is the only one that has (as yet) made me shriek like my nine year old daughter spotting a spider on the wall.
I HOPE YOUR LUXO GOES OUT IN A DARK ALLEY...
... Where a man is selling ice cream and cotton candy :)
This would be cool as a longer game do u think it will reach that point in development?
Honestly loved this. It really changes what you do when confronted with danger. Normally, you just push the opposite direction on your controller, but having to learn the spells as a player, rather than picking it from a menu and pressing a button, was a great way to create immersion.
I don't remember if I've posted this video here but whatever.
Best concept idea ever.
I really thought I was a wizard and had some power !
Priceless !
Great game! Played this game a while back. We really enjoyed it and felt like it was unique due to the voice recognition. Keep up the amazing work!
P.S. Sorry if we butchered the name in the video lol.
I really liked your game. I got scared so many times lol. Having to use your voice is also cool, this was the first time I've played a game like that.
So I got stuck after receiving the 3rd gem and I don't know if it's because the game is unfinished but overall it was awesome and unique!! :D
This game is the most interesting I've played so far on a horror game. The use of the microphone makes you feel immersed through out the game. I hope there are more games like this in the future. I'm really digging the use of the microphone.
Although it's glitchy at time, but its just a minor problem for me.
The only thing I can complain about is, the performance of the game.
Hi, this game has amazing potential, it has one of the best voice recognition mechanics that i have seen yet, i always tried to do something similar but could never find a way of making speech recognition work on Unity, did you guys made it from scratch or is it a plugin?
And i would love to see more of this game, since most games only use voice recognition more as a gimmick instead of a main mechanic.
This was really good, I loved ever part of this game!
Very nice work, very good game, I really enjoyed playing it . Congrats to the devs. Here is my version .
i was so excited to play this game, everythinmg looked soo awesome! but unfortunately, it didnt get past the page that was all black after I would hit play. the game looks amazing though!
