Fans of classic survival horror will be excited about Echograph, a new game that combines the unique camera-based gameplay of Fatal Frame with the spooky atmosphere and suspense of early Resident Evil titles. Launching initially on PC through Steam, Echograph is already getting positive buzz and comparisons to those iconic games, as shown in its recently released trailer which captures the feel of classic survival horror.
Games like Resident Evil and Fatal Frame have gained popularity with horror fans, but these two series still stand out as the most influential. Fatal Frame is known for its use of Japanese folklore and its distinctive camera-based ghost hunting, while Resident Evil established many of the core elements of the survival horror genre – elements that are also central to the upcoming game, Echograph.
Echograph is Like Resident Evil Meets Fatal Frame
In Echograph, created and released independently by Pappy’s Pipe Dream, you play as Layla, investigating the mysterious deaths of her family in a crumbling manor. Haunted by angry ghosts, Layla must use a unique camera to defend herself while uncovering the truth. The game blends survival horror with themes of grief and family history, challenging players to solve puzzles, find secret paths, and carefully manage limited supplies. With its classic pixel art, fixed camera views, and tough gameplay, Echograph delivers a retro horror experience reminiscent of older survival horror titles.
Most of Echograph is explored from an overhead perspective, but when you encounter ghosts, the game switches to first-person, creating a scary and immersive experience similar to the Fatal Frame series. The game also features a detailed story told through the environment, hidden clues, and challenging puzzles, all designed to push the main character, Layla, to her limits as she uncovers restless spirits and hidden secrets. You can add Echograph to your wishlist on Steam now.
Lately, Steam’s been flooded with awesome indie horror games – stuff like Mouthwashing, Crow Country, and Heartworm have really blown up because they nail that classic, old-school horror feel. I’m really curious to see if Echograph can live up to those games, but it’s looking promising because it’s bringing back a lot of those retro gameplay elements we all love. Hopefully, it delivers!
