Hack #6: Zed · Zed
29 Apr, 09:20
NOX is a brutalist horror maze game where the creature hunts entirely by sound. You have 4 seconds to memorise the maze before the lights go out. Then you navigate blind — collect fuses, find the exit, survive. The creature's voice lines are generated live using the ElevenLabs TTS API. "I'm here." when it spawns. "I hear you." when the hunt begins. "Got you." when it finds you. Powered by Dante — ElevenLabs' growly monster voice — and cached locally so every new player gets fresh AI-generated audio on their first run. Built and coded in Zed. Single HTML file. No frameworks. No music. No ambient noise. Sound becomes the only language — which makes the AI voices land harder.
