Echostasis

Echostasis is a first-person science-fiction horror game with puzzles, exploration and combat. It concludes the Enigma Trilogy, following the stories of The Enigma Machine (2018) and Mothered - A Role-Playing Horror Game (2021), and explores reality, technology and humanity’s place between them.

The administrator

You play as the Administrator at ENIGMA’s headquarters, where a virus has been uploaded to her: an algorithm that creates personalized realities called Echoes. Three key subjects have become lost in the Cloud, and you must enter their minds to find out what happened. Use the interactive Terminal to collect your thoughts by typing any words shown in brackets.

Explore the Echoes

You have limited time in each dreamscape, so use it carefully to open shortcuts to new paths and weapons that let you go deeper into the subjects’ minds. Face the horrors in each dreamscape to help bring the subjects home. As they slip further into Echostasis, you uncover more about what happened around the events of the two earlier games.

Puzzles and combat

The game combines puzzles, exploration and combat. Its open-ended keyword system lets you interact with the Terminal, while the story’s conclusion centers on a reality that grows harder to make sense of.
