✦ AI summary

Players appreciate the game's cute aesthetic and solid technical presentation for what appears to be a student project, with some finding it worth an hour of gameplay, but most criticize it as a short, buggy tech demo that lacks substantial content and has broken features like non-functioning achievements. The consensus is that while the foundation shows promise, the game feels incomplete and unlikely to receive meaningful updates or expansion.

The achievements unfortunately do not work, but the art and environment are charming plus the combat is not totally jank. Got some cool cutscenes and voice acting, and the core mechanics with the companion light is worth the 20-30 minutes of playing.

Cute, short little game. Played it over a few times - Did some digging, appears to have been a school project? Either way, I HIGHLY doubt it'll ever be expanded upon which is quite unfortunate. But if you need something to kill about an hour? It's worth checking out!

"Echo of the Last Light" must be a student project or something... it's short, feels like a tech demo/portfolio showcase, works and looks far better than most "indie" games made by amateur developers, and feels like a console game that was put on Steam instead (because it's cheaper). Those are all hallmarks of student projects. Which is a bit of a problem, because we're not here to grade homework assignments. What do you do in the game? This is a very simple console-esque platformer/adventure/action game where you control some moth dude, you have an all powerful sidekick, and yeah... there's not a lot to this, although it's not that bad as far as homework assignments go. This looks a lot like it was designed for consoles, but released on Steam instead by mistake. While this is on PC, it has all the hallmarks and deficiencies of a console game, from the clunkier than needed control scheme to the less than cutting edge graphics. There's 10's of thousands of PC games on Steam, and PC gamers deserve only the best. This might not appeal to many gamers due to the lack of PC-centric design. It's unclear why this never made it to the video game console appliances it seems to have …

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.
