About The Echo Paradox

The Echo Paradox is a psychological horror game where you explore alternate universes each with different haunting entities.

A TALE OF HUMANITY'S DARKEST DISCOVERY

Humanity stands on the brink of an unsettling revelation – the multiverse is real, but eerily devoid of life. As a daring volunteer for the Phaselink research group, you embark on a chilling journey, venturing into unknown parallel universes in a desperate quest to find any remnants of human existence.

HOW WILL YOU SURVIVE?

Brace yourself for a descent into terror. The further you explore, the more the fabric of reality warps around you. Each universe is a twisted reflection of our own, haunted by entities that defy explanation.

CONFRONT THE PARADOX

"The Echo Paradox" challenges not just your courage but your perception. Puzzles and clues are woven into the very essence of each reality, demanding keen observation and problem-solving skills. Facing the enigmatic entities of these parallel worlds, you must unravel the paradox of their existence.

WE ARE NOT ALONE

Their intentions are unknown, and their presence is a constant reminder that in these abandoned worlds, you are the intruder.

Had high hopes for this game, but I don't like it. Spent hour walking around in circles in the snow in the woods with no idea what to do. Two lights and a raggedy building you can't interact with anything in it. I'm bored. There was no story buildup or anything. Just go here, go there and go to sleep. BOOOOOOO !

This game is unplayable. Frame rate literally bounces like a yoyo. Can't even get the settings to apply the configurations. Would've refunded it but it was sitting on my shelf for too long. The least the developer could do is patch the game. Absolute disgrace.

It's ok. I was excited about playing it since there's not a lot of game relating to ufos and aliens. The more I played, the more I realized it had so much potential to be a greater game than I was playing. By the end, I left unsatisfied with all the worlds I visited. It was not enough and very little actual gameplay or getting to know the mutiversal worlds I visited besides walking around and finding some artifacts to return to the homebase. Apparently, in this universe, there are co-workers who had gone before me to set up the home-portal, capture entities, or do other things. I feel like playing as those people would have been more fun than whatever it was I was doing. I still recommend it to see some of these worlds, just know that you'll feel somewhat indifferent with the experience as a whole. Plays ok on steam deck with some framerate drops between 15-45 fps on low or medium setting.

A nice indie horror that took me 2,5 hours to finish. While the game itself is quite good, you should be aware of a couple of bugs I came accross - like when you save the game and have so far placed some of the artifacts on pedestals, it is possible that some of them will go invisible (which is not game breaking, but can disorient you). There are also a couple of weird things - like the red access card at the very end which doesn't seem to be usable for anything and I seem to have found one key which is never used (if you know how to explain these, please leave a comment). Also in Settings you can set key binding for firing and reloading gun, but there is no gun in the game... Overall it's a good one session indie horror which I recommend to get on sale. Just expect you may run into a bug or two, but hopefully nothing that would make the game unplayable.

Good Game! Great use of sounds and atmosphere! Seemed cheesy at first but got a lot better pretty quick. The graphics are good. The story has a few good twists and turns. A fair amount to explore. Kept me REALLY wondering what was around the nest corner. Could stand to be a bit longer and have more interactivity with some of the worlds. I normally could care less about achievements but I have 2 more to go and I plan to achieve them. This would have been so amazing in VR. I mean off the charts. Game ran fantastic.

Solid short-mid long alien horror game. I thought it was pretty good. Would love to see more, also need to fix the aliens disappearing into thin air but that actually cracked me up.
