Design Statement
The theme track opens with chirping insects, a quiet forest, and the click of machinery. It moves from a gentle morning to a lively noon, then fades into the stillness of midnight. Even there, hope remains.

So we made Echo, a little music spirit who lost his memories. He once watched humanity fight natural disasters and slowly disappear. As he searches for his memories, he begins to remember someone who once sang with him.

Each level is a stage of that journey. With every puzzle solved, the music grows richer, layer by layer, as Echo’s memories return. Along the way, 16 hidden items tell the story of the people who once lived here. Short monologues let players piece the past together with him.

We wanted players to be part of this story, so we invite them to sing. One puzzle records the player humming. At the end, as the rain stops and dawn breaks, that voice returns from far away over the final song, so every ending is a little different.
