What is it?

ECHOES is a solo cinematic adventure about following a missing child through a broken portal. A repeated mark, a stopped clock and a red scarf carry the story without dialogue.

Play six chapters and twelve scenes with jumps, hiding, crates, time shifts, mirrors and a lingering echo. Death returns you to the entrance of the current scene. The interface is currently in Korean; the visual story has no spoken dialogue.

The strange skyline slowly becomes familiar: the observatory windows and its stopped clock remain in the ruins. Platform shapes and light direction also guide the next move.

How to play

  1. Move with the left stick or arrow keys and jump across ledges.
  2. Use E or the hand button near a mechanism. Hold it while moving to push a crate.
  3. Once you collect the lens, use X or the diamond button to shift time. A fall restarts the current scene.

Modes

Story journey
Six chapters and twelve scenes, with a chapter selector for reached chapters.

Good to know

  • Hold jump for distance. Press jump again to climb a ledge.
  • Crouch behind low walls and let the sentry light pass before moving.

Strategy tips

Read before jumping

Look for lit edges and nearby mechanisms. An elevated switch requires climbing first.

Short retries

A death resets the current scene, including its puzzle state and hazard timers.
