Dark Echo

great concept, unfortunately gets repetitive quickly.

You know Its kinda funny bc I just saw this random ass game was being deleted from steam
Turns out I remember pirating this shit 10 years ago on my moms phone, insane xdd
Had to buy it, Do not regret.
Thank you for your service :))

One of the worst game I have ever played. Why did I buy this

Good puzzle game with solid mechanics and a nice challenge.
I recommend buying it ASAP, it's super cheap and it's leaving soon, possibly forever.

A tightly designed, minimalist horror game with a clever premise. The developer announced that they'll be pulling the game from Steam very soon, so get it while you can. This 2015 indie game is already dirt cheap, but now it's even 70% off!

Really cool game, I am sad to see it leaving Steam (I know I will still have it, but it deserves an audience).

+ Really interesting concept ("Amnesia" meets Bat simulator meets Minimalist game design)
+ Interesting level design
+ Looks and sounds solid, given the concept

I am struggling to find the downsides. But if I had to:
- Unclear lore, I guess...
- Once you learn how to avoid enemies, it is not that scary anymore.
- It is great "experience" and "high concept" game, but mot much of a "puzzle" game

The game is soon to be delisted. It is unique and cheap and now on discount. So take it while you can and enjoy.

Hey, you! Yes, YOU! This is a unique concept done well! It's set to disappear from the Steam store soon! Get this game while you still can!

This game portrays me on the kitchen at 3 AM

Jokes aside, I had previously played this on mobile, but it seems to have been removed from the store so I decided to give it a try on steam

As it often occurs to indie games, the idea sounds brilliant but the reality is frustrating. The basic concept itself is amazing, but its graphical style is obviously very simple, which normally should be made up for in gameplay, which is not the case for this game. Gotta give credit for sound design, since it's really decent, though that doesn't matter that much when game exhausts all of it diversity in less than an hour.

The main thing I noticed was that all the interactions seem really sluggish, not only to give it a slow and unnerving tempo, but also making it feel like the game is stretched thin. It is also very short (<4 hours) and I'd say there is no replayability apart from locating all secrets.

You probably shouldn't listen to me since that was my humble opinion, but you'll never know until you try, even though I found myself quite frustrated with it.

It's one of the best implementations of the idea of echoing as a means of navigation, even though it's fully visual, it's doing a fantastic job at eliminating your sense of sight, and making you focus on the sound lines you produce. It's also fairly short, very much worth it

scari

Fun game but towards the end the game starts to use more "gotcha" moments where the player is going to die at least once each level if they haven't played before. personally not a fan of that but I still loved the game. Very unique concept.

Dark Echo is a simple game executed simply well. When you make sound, lines show where that sound goes, and you use that to find your way around dark rooms. Making noise can attract monsters, and you have to use the sound you make to lure them, since much like you, they are blind.

There are 40 levels that each expand on this simple mechanic, and it's more than fairly priced for what you get. Very solid little game.

There are also light echoes of all 40 levels that are more difficult to navigate around, and are also more difficult on your eyes, since the palette is inverted from a pleasing, easy black, to a blinding white, and I had to turn my monitor's brightness to 0 to comfortably play these echoes of levels. While I appreciate the effort to add more content with these extra versions of levels, I feel like the game is already fairly priced for how simple the game is, and the addition of light echoes kinda makes it feel padded, and unnecessary.

I completed 13 out of 80 levels and I think the game is boring.
6.3/10

Darkness wandering simulator where you have to keep your voice low or you will attract evil RED (death),

It sounds vaguely familiar.
