Developer Output Games has announced that its time-bending puzzle platformer with a full-motion video story, ECHOPLEX, will be exiting Steam Early Access on March 15, 2018.
The full release will feature 27 challenging levels, a complete full-motion video story – with a new UI to review video – as well as new puzzle mechanics and improvements to overall gameplay.
Developers Output Games have made fundamental changes to the Early Access version, based on player feedback. The beta was shown at Lisboa Games Week IndieDome 2017, where it won Best Art Direction and Most Innovative Game.
ECHOPLEX is a time-bending puzzle platformer with a full-motion video story. Trapped in a mysterious looping simulation, you are followed by an “Echo” of yourself — a duplicate who repeats everything you do. Each level contains a memory fragment that reveals more of the story — but to reach it, you must outsmart your Echo in ever more challenging ways.
ECHOPLEX combines minimalist graphics with full-motion video to create an immersive and chilling story world. The story explores the mysterious connection between a young engineer working at the multi-national corporation Clonochem, and an activist protesting the company’s controversial product, Continuum.
When the engineer calls a phone number he finds written on a seemingly severed arm, he becomes caught up in a cycle of events – one of many iterations of himself.
Hidden within the memory fragments scattered throughout the simulation are the answers to breaking the loop — but to uncover them, you will need to outsmart your Echo in ever more challenging ways.
Created by indie filmmaker Tyron van Vuuren, ECHOPLEX features a gripping, self-contained storyline. Tyron’s many years of experience as a director played a key role in crafting ECHOPLEX’s story arcs – particularly during the game’s unsettling live action sequences.

ECHOPLEX will be exiting Early Access on March 15, 2018 for $14.99 (10% launch discount applies for first week). The game is currently available on Steam Early Access (Windows/Mac).
