Fossil Echo PC kaufen

Als junger Junge kletterst du in diesem kurzen, storygetriebenen Platformer einen riesigen Turm mitten im Meer empor. Eine wortlose Geschichte entfaltet sich durch spielbare Flashbacks und über 15 Minuten handgezeichnete Cutscenes, die Abenteuer und Mysterium in einer fantastischen Welt verschmelzen. Die handgezeichneten 2D-Grafiken beeindrucken mit detaillierten, handbemalten Hintergründen in vielfältigen Umgebungen - von üppigen Wäldern bis zu schneebedeckten Türmen. Exige Platforming-Passagen fordern präzise Bewegungen und Timing im klassischen Die-and-Retry-Stil, ergänzt durch spannende Stealth-Elemente, um Konfrontationen zu vermeiden. Der schwache Protagonist verzichtet auf Kämpfe und steigert so den Schwierigkeitsgrad, während ein Easy Mode die Story ins Zentrum rückt. Speedrun-Timer und versteckte Geheimnisse locken Hardcore-Indie-Action-Fans, die präzises, old-school Platforming lieben.

Story

Influenced by the Oddworld series, Ico, and Shadow of the Collosus, as well as Studio Ghibli films, Fossil Echo tells the story of a young boy and his journey to climb a giant tower in the middle of the sea. How and why he got there are questions that will be answered via playable flashbacks during his ascent. The game offers over 15 minutes of fully animated cutscenes and the story is told without any dialogue or written text.

Gameplay

Fossil Echo mixes old-school, "die & retry" platforming gameplay with some stealth elements. As in Abe's Oddysee and Another World, you have little margin for error; precise movement and timing is required to get through and avoid confrontation, as the character is young, weak, and unable to fight or kill, most of the time...

Art

Fossil Echo features a detailed art style, with pre-rendered/hand painted backgrounds and hand animated 2D characters. Adopting the style of animated film, it presents an array diverse environments, from lush forest to snow covered tower. With no HUD or any indications displayed on screen, the game aims at immersing you from start to finish.

Sound

The world of Fossil Echo is brought to life by over two hours of unique, original music by John Robert Matz (Gunpoint, Rodina) and sound design by Gordon McGladdery (Rogue Legacy, Fantastic Contraption). Music and sound work in concert to set the mood and highlight the story and actions during gameplay and cutscenes.

Fossil Echo is developed by Phil Crifo (Story, Art & Design), Thierry Boura (Programming), John Robert Matz (Music), and A Shell In The Pit (Sound Design).
