Can you help me find a game based off a vague description?
Of course! I'll do my best to assist you. Please provide me with the vague description of the game you're looking for, and I'll help you in finding it.
The game was an audio type thriller, it was all white and topdown. When you moved you made footsteps that echoed, and the monster would try and find you off those footsteps.
I remember playing it for the first time on mobile I believe.
Based on your description, the game you are looking for sounds like "White Night," developed by OSome Studio. It is a black-and-white survival horror game with a top-down perspective. The game relies heavily on its audio design, including echoing footsteps that attract a monster. While "White Night" is also available on consoles and PC, it was released for mobile platforms as well. Please note that there may be other games with similar features, so this is just one possibility.
That sounds close, but you didn't have a character in my version. In fact, there wasn't even a visible monster, just footsteps.
Apologies for the confusion. Based on your revised description, the game you are referring to might be "Perception." In this game, players take on the role of a blind protagonist who uses echolocation to navigate through a haunted mansion. The game has a top-down perspective and focuses on atmospheric horror, with the primary gameplay element being the detection of sound and footsteps to uncover the environment and avoid unseen threats. "Perception" was initially released for PC and later made available for various platforms, including mobile devices.
Again, there wasn't a protagonist in my memory, just footsteps from a topdown perspective, and the game used echolocation to map out the environment so the player knew where to go.
But every step you took would alert other creatures to your location. All of this being just footsteps.
