## What is Shadows of The Circuit?

No one knows the true origin of The Circuit. They only know the pattern: a lone Runner, a sea of surveillance drones, and a desperate race for the exit. In Shadows of The Circuit, you are that Runner. Navigate a dystopian, low-light megastructure where sight is a luxury and sound is your only true ally.

TWO MODES TO CHALLENGE YOUR LIMITS:
1. Operations: Your initiation. Face 5 high-stakes levels designed to introduce you to the mechanics of evasion, resource management, and survival.
2. Deployment (Infinite Mode): Once you survive the Operations, the real test begins. Every sector is procedurally generated, ensuring that no two escape attempts are ever the same. How many sectors can you clear before the surveillance grid closes in?

STRATEGIC UPGRADE MODULES:
Survival isn't just about speed, it’s about strategy. Collect and deploy powerful upgrade modules to manipulate The Circuit to your advantage:

1. Silent Soles: Dampen your footstep noise to ghost past high-sensitivity drones.
2. Structural Scanner: Automatically pinpoint and unlock the sector traps.
3. Core Bypass & More: Manage your limited Echo Fragments to decide when to stay and loot or when to run for the exit.

IMMERSIVE 3D SPATIAL AUDIO:
In the darkness of The Circuit, your eyes will deceive you. This game is built around high-fidelity 3D Spatial Audio. You must learn to listen, can you hear the hum of a drone behind you? Is the loot to your left or far ahead? Master your hearing to navigate the shadows.

EXPLORE OR ESCAPE?
Every sector contains vital resources, but every second spent exploring increases your risk of detection. Will you grab the chest and leave immediately, or risk a deeper search to find the loot needed for your next upgrade?

KNOWLEDGE IS POWER:
The Intel: Study the data provided by the Rebellion. Learn the details about drones, chests and other items.
The Records: Compare your stats with other Runners. Track your total sectors cleared and your total run times on the global leaderboards.

FULL ACCESSIBILITY:
We believe the thrill of the hunt should be available to everyone. Shadows of The Circuit is fully accessible to the visually impaired and features comprehensive VoiceOver support, making the game 100% playable through audio cues alone.

### 5/5 — Need more information on what each slider does Under controls

*2026-02-01*

Hi, I just picked up your game the other day. I was wondering inside once you’re all signed in and everything you click controls and then there’s like a couple different sliders. They’re at 70% by default. Is there anyway you can maybe reply to my review to let me know what each one of them sliders do because even though I got my mono audio turned off, which allows me to have stereo separation. The game still seems like it don’t separate like it’s supposed to cause when I used an audio pulse to find out where the chest are I don’t know if you’re in right or left or cause even when I’m turning by swiping my finger that the audio doesn’t change at all it all stays in both ears. Is there something I’m doing wrong because I know it’s not in my phone. It has to be within the game cause like I said under my settings inside my iPhone 16 Pro Max I have mono audio turned off thank you guys keep up the good work on making an audio games. I can’t exit the first room of a sector one under operation and I’m just basically wasting all my audio pulses cause you can’t. I had eight of them but each time I try to upgrade them echo fragments are going and I have to buy more with actual currency and so that’s what I’m wanting to know if I can just separate the audio and left ear then make it go back to the right ear as I’m turning. If you can let me know that would be great like I said, it’s not working.

**Developer response:** Hi, thanks for playing. 
Each slider has a label indicating which volume it controls. You do not need to configure your device's settings. While turning and using the echo locator, you will be able to hear the direction of the chest to exit the sector. 
You can get more detailed help from the game forum. Apologies for the late response.
