About ECHO
ECHO is a third-person science fiction adventure developed and published by ULTRA ULTRA, a Copenhagen studio founded by veterans of the Hitman series. Released on 19 September 2017, it stands out for one bold idea: your enemies are built from your own behaviour. After a century in stasis, a young woman named En arrives at her destination, a legendary Palace left by an ancient civilisation and still waiting for its first human occupants. Using forgotten technology, she hopes to bring back a life that should never have been lost.
The journey begins as a calm, character-driven exploration of vast golden halls, gardens and machinery, accompanied by the ship's AI London. Gradually it becomes something far more punishing. The Palace studies everything you do and creates Echoes, exact copies of En that behave like you and can only use the actions you have used. If you sprint, the Echoes soon run faster; if you sneak, they become stealthier; if you shoot, they learn to shoot back; if you vault, open doors or drink from pools, so will they.
The Palace reboots at regular intervals, causing a blackout. Each blackout cycle updates the Echoes with your latest behaviour, so they learn and unlearn from your actions. During the blackout itself the Palace is blind, giving you a short window to run, fight and take risks without teaching anything to your enemies. Planning when to act loudly and when to stay quiet turns every encounter into a tactical puzzle where you constantly shape the opposition you will face next.
The stunning architecture, a haunting score and strong voice performances support a mysterious story about life, death and the nature of the Palace itself. Achievements, cloud saves and full controller support are included, and the full voice acting is available in English, French and German. ECHO contains violence, blood and frightening scenes and is rated 16 (Germany 16).
