IN A CITY ONCE ALIVE WITH VOICES, ONLY SILENCE REMAINS.

 Gray streets stretch endlessly under a sky that has forgotten color. People move like echoes of who they once were quiet, distant, and alone. Among them walks ECHO, a girl who has never heard her own voice. 

One day, while scavenging through the remnants of a forgotten park, she crosses into a restricted zone and finds an old recorder its melody soft, fragile, and strangely alive. When she hums along, something miraculous happens: the invisible thread sealing her lips unravels, and for the first time, her voice fills the air. Color flickers. The world breathes. Hope returns. 

 Determined to share this spark, ECHO sets out across the city. With every encounter, she listens, helps, and restores what was lost, teaching others to find the strength to speak again. But to awaken the city completely, she’ll need their voices beside hers.

Echo is a short 2.5D adventure about bringing life back to a grey world. You play as Echo, a girl who can restore color and sound by connecting with others. Each area has people that you can “awaken” through quick mini-games. When you succeed, the world around you reacts with color and music, and the person joins you as an ally.

"Start from Zero. Rebuild. Reimagine. Rise."

We are concerned for our realities, the world we live in, and the societies we are building. How can we make them better? How can we speak up for us? How can we reimagine a world in which everyone feels safe?

We wanted to show the message of "You cannot achieve change alone", because collaboration is a crucial factor for social change. And this is our little input for the bigger change to happen.

*All assets (tilesets, minigames and everything!) were created with love, mistakes, and human touch — NO IA

For this concept, we delved into the idea of finding color and meaning through sound, a world rebuilt through voices that dare to return. Check our creative process!
