About

Title reworded: “Melancholic Resonances” – This is a sci-fi adventure inspired by Greco-Roman mythology, taking place inside the decaying hull of the spacecraft Atromitos. Here, divine destruction and cosmic decay are interwoven. You are roused by ancient deities, Adrestia, who rises from ashes and nothingness to pursue her twin sister Harmonia, now a deranged creator of destruction, through haunting corridors and forgotten sanctuaries lost in time. Channel divine fury, uncover past transgressions, and etch your tale into the bones of a dying universe.

  • Modern Console Metroidvania – Action packed side-scrolling gameplay, ideal for console players. Powered by Unreal Engine 5 players will embark upon a haunting journey through seven distinct districts, looming with decay, ruin and eerie beauty. Every dark corner hides a story.
  • Greco-Roman Story – Inspired by Greco-Roman mythos, and sci-fi visuals, players explore a wrecked spacecraft in deep space that is overrun by extra-dimensional horrors.
  • Multiple Endings – Gameplay actions shape how the story ends, the more players explore and discover the entirety of the ship, the more choices there will be when deciding the fate of the Atromitos.
  • Challenges Mode – A new way to experience Somber Echoes designed to extend gameplay and provide players with intense, skill-based objectives beyond the core story experience, including boss fight and puzzle challenges with more content planned for subsequent updates.
