It's crazy how this 2 hour game, that is a second entry into a trilogy of games, feels like a complete, multi-layered, and fully realized standalone sci-fi narrative, that (imo) can rival titans of the genre. And what's even crazier is that according to the dev, this was made in ONE MONTH. I absolutely love indie devs man, I was already super excited for ECHOSTASIS, but right now it is my most anticipated game, I cannot wait to see the conclusion to this trilogy

I was not ready at all for this game, and I'm glad to see a lot of people on here had a similar experience.
Looking at the screenshots it seemed fairly interesting, and it had a cool style. But what I ended up getting was so, so much more substantive and deeper. It honestly floored me.
To start, this is an example of a game with an obvious low budget that actually takes full advantage of it. The cheap and low quality back grounds, the stiff animations, it actually all contributed to creating a really unsettling location and backdrop. I was legit nervous and uncomfortable the entire experience. And mind you, this was all done with zero jumpscares.
The story is just so tragic but also twisted. I didn't expect it to go in the direction it did, but it was welcome and added to the experience.
This is a real hidden gem everyone should give a chance.
