What's New in ECHO

1.4

November 5, 2026

New: Survival. One life, an endless cave, and something following you down in the dark. How deep can you go? Every run is a new cave, and the deeper you go, the faster the hunt. Lines of a story wait at the depth marks, and the journal keeps every one you find. Pass 100 m, and you can start your next run from the deepest mark you have reached. Compete on Game Center: an all-time leaderboard, a weekly one that starts fresh every Monday, and seven achievements to earn. ECHO now speaks 33 languages. Twenty-one are new, among them Arabic, Hebrew, Hindi, Thai, Vietnamese and Simplified Chinese. Survival comes with the full game. If you already own it, it is waiting for you now. And the quiet text on every screen is now brighter and easier to read.

Response from developer

Thank you for playing, and for the honest note. Since version 1.1.1 the first 20 levels are free, so the free part now reaches the hunters and the darker levels where the way out stops glowing. The opening levels stay gentle on purpose because they teach the controls, but the game gets much tougher after that. Hope you give it another go.
