Echo: Defy Death
Steam
A gripping Roguelite game where your sight is taken away and sound is what guides your blade!
You play the role of the kings assassin whose eyes have been stolen by a demon. Now blinded, armed with nothing but your skills and cold-blooded rage, you rush towards the King to warn him of the danger in his castle. Ready to face demons in complete darkness?


Innovative echolocation combat mechanics and enemies that reside in the dark will test all of your senses!
Blind combat - Fast paced combat where you fight enemies in complete darkness!
Echolocation - Emit pulses of sound to reveal the environment around you, uncover hidden traps, and detect the presence of lurking adversaries through their unique sounds. You can only hit what you can ''see''!
Skill upgrades - You can upgrade your senses to enhance your blind fighting or discover demonic powers from your patron!
Weapons - Choose your primary weapon from your arsenal and during the run you gain secondary weapons that you can switch as you discover them!


Cursed and occult rituals run rampant! The demon infested tower is not a lonely place, be they demons or human, every one of them has something to offer you.
Impactful NPCs - Interact with the residents of the castle who wish to help you on your mission, make pacts with demons who offer supernatural abilities and power!
Multiple endings - Pick your allies and pave the way for your own ending. The story is just as dynamic as the gameplay and your choices will affect both the world and the characters at the end off your journey.
