Solo developer Bigo will release the short adventure game ECHOES for free on Steam on July 31 at 19:00. The game follows a young man and a broken android girl over five days in a post-apocalyptic world. Players decipher the girl's broken voice through simple puzzles. The game has three endings and an estimated playtime of 30 minutes to one hour.
The game's premise centers on a young man who wakes in the ruins of an apocalyptic world after fleeing a war against machines. The android girl he meets can no longer understand human language, so the two communicate by deciphering the broken voice she emits, a process that forms the game's simple puzzle elements.
Bigo, who handled the scenario, pixel art, and music, said the goal was to make a game with his own art, music, and story, and that he completed it for the first time with this work. The developer's streaming policy welcomes playthroughs from private individuals, corporations, and agency-affiliated creators, including full playthroughs to the ending and monetization on streaming platforms.
