Echoes is a game about atonement or damnation. A game about fear and the obscure and resilience in the face of adversity both physically and mentally. You will explore the suppressed and repressed aspects of your mind and either project them into your new reality or deny them by projecting them into others.
You are a lone soul lost in a mysterious town searching for what remains of a loved one who has long since gone beyond the world. Mysterious creatures roam the mists surrounding the city, turning it into a cage, and supernatural forces rule over the streets and alleys. The echoes of your past latch onto you and challenge you at every turn.
You are alone.
You are afraid.
You are without hope.
Maybe if you survive, you'll learn something about your true self.
Echoes is a solo journaling game where you write or record your story, using only a six-sided die and a deck of cards which provide prompts to get your mind engaged. You may get attacked during the night, recall memories from you and your loved one's past, or answer deep questions about your own morality. Echoes is deadly--but you can also add a block tower to make the deadly even deadlier.
Disclaimer: There are themes of death, gore, violence, loss of agency and mental degradation that some players may find disturbing. Discretion is advised. Themes are heavily influenced in horror genres such as Silent Hill and Resident Evil.
