ECHOThe Dark Is Listening
A maze with no light in it. You are the only light there is.
Free. Levels 1 to 20, then one purchase.
Move through the dark
Touch the screen and your voice goes out as a ring. Walls flare where it passes, then fade back into nothing. What you saw, you have to remember.
How it plays
Two voices, and a price
A whisper is cheap and shows you almost nothing, a small circle of the world close to you.
A call carries across a room. It charges the resonators that open sealed doors, and it wakes whatever else is down here, listening.
Twelve acts, deepening
The first ones teach you your own voice. Then something that sleeps in the dark learns it too. It cannot hear a whisper. A call, it hears.
Later the world stops answering at all, and you cross whole rooms from memory.
Felt, not only heard
Every echo fans out under your palm through the Taptic Engine, in time with the sound. The soundscape is generated live, not recorded.
Headphones, if you have them. A dark room, if you can.

Questions
What kind of game is ECHO?
ECHO is a puzzle game played in total darkness. You find your way by echolocation: each touch sends out a ring of sound that lights the walls for a moment, and once they fade you have to remember the maze. There are a hundred levels in twelve acts.
Is ECHO free?
Levels 1 to 20 are free, and they already have both voices, the sealed doors and the things that hunt by sound. One in-app purchase opens the other eighty levels. There are no ads and no subscription.
Is it a horror game?
Partly. Things in the dark hunt by sound, so every loud call is a risk, and the music thins out as the danger grows. Nothing is gory, since everything on screen is light on black. The age rating is 9+.
Does ECHO need an internet connection?
No. It plays offline, and there is no account or sign-in. You need a connection only to buy the full game.
Do I need headphones?
You can play without them, because every echo shows on the screen and you feel it through the Taptic Engine. Headphones make the sound much fuller, and a dark room helps too.
Which iPhones and languages does it support?
Any iPhone on iOS 18 or later. The game is in 12 languages: English, Chinese, Dutch, French, German, Italian, Japanese, Korean, Polish, Portuguese, Spanish and Turkish.
