Echoes of the Living

So let's gloss over the fact for a moment that we have yet another survival horror game on our hands to appreciate the immediate direction Echoes of the Living is going. This upcoming title pays homage to a classic series of the 90s, rekindling old console gamers' enthusiasm for the genre once again. The whole zombie thing may be tried and tested in the modern day, but when you're serving up some nostalgic gameplay, that could be a game-changer.

Echoes of the Living aims at delivering a reimagined title from the 90s, fused with modern visuals and a more adaptable control schematic. While the game doesn't have an official release date yet, they've been so kind as to release a demo to give us a taster of what this post-apocalyptic survival horror will bring. Here are our two cents on the upcoming title.

Engulfed by Echoes

The developers are apparent in their objective for Echoes of the Living; to create a game that captures the essence of the hit survival horror games of the 90s and gives it a modern twist to rekindle that nostalgia but remove old player frustrations. Are they succeeding here? Judging by the demo, you already feel the title is on the right track to achieve what's been set on the table.

Both the story and gameplay mechanics take much from the classics. Here we are in a northern European town where a strange mist has engulfed the populous, and suddenly everyone has turned into a zombie but a small few. You'll play as a detective, abandoning your original mission, hoping to survive the undead onslaught and escape safely.

Sounds familiar? Gameplay will take you back even further with a fixed camera system, similar puzzles, realistic health mechanics, and many jump-scares just waiting to catch you out. The only significant difference to the classic survival horror games is the fusion of current-gen graphics, bringing a new level of eeriness. Echoes of the Living is all well-threaded together for an immersive experience.

But is the demo enjoyable? It's a small taster of what's to come, and so far, it hits the nail on the head of what it wants to do. The story may not be the most original. Still, gameplay undoubtedly takes you back two decades to a time when survival horrors were challenging, captivating, and seriously scary. We expect big things from Echoes of the Living when it finally releases itself.

Remembering the Living

So if you haven't figured it out already, when we refer to Echoes of the Living resembling the classic console survival horror games, we refer to the Resident Evil and Silent Hill series. Anyone who plays the demo immediately realizes that the developers are trying to translate those experiences into an appropriate, modern gaming tone.

The game is on the right track to success, bolstered by the fact that there isn't a solid release date yet. We should see Echoes of the Living arrive towards the end of the year, but if they need time to perfect the experience, we could all be OK with that.
