ECHO: The Last Beacon
A downloadable game for Windows and macOS
A light worth following
A quiet archipelago is losing its light. Carry your lantern through coastal ruins, living gardens, a broken observatory and a moonlit grove. With Luma beside you, awaken the beacons and recover the voices left on the shore.
ECHO: The Last Beacon is an atmospheric first-person 3D exploration and puzzle adventure. Take your time, follow the light, and decide what the last beacon should preserve.
