Could you build this?

Partial The browser client is approachable, but building low-latency, synchronized multiplayer physics with procedural audio occlusion in real time requires non-trivial game networking expertise.

What it would actually take: Likely built using HTML5 Canvas/WebGL with PixiJS or Phaser, Web Audio API for dynamic distance/attenuation modeling, and a Node.js/Go backend using WebSockets or WebTransport. The hard part is implementing robust client-side prediction, entity interpolation, and server-authoritative physics simulation to prevent desyncs and cheating without high latency.
