Vale's Echo

June 30, 2027 · Hollow Beak Games

2D cozy horror adventure that blends dark comedy, psychological storytelling, and surreal art. In Vale’s Echo, death isn’t the end — it’s your last chance. Players take on the role of Vale, a sarcastic and troubled soul who wakes up on a mysterious train to nowhere. No pulse. No past. No clue. Her only company? Echo — a floating skull full of secrets, charm, and just the right amount of mischief. As Vale and Echo journey through the underworld to confront Death and uncover Vale’s past, players will meet a bizarre and unforgettable cast of characters — from chatty fish-human hybrids to leech merchants and morally dubious spirits. Each encounter challenges not just Vale’s choices, but also the player’s empathy, humor, and sense of right and wrong. Gameplay in Vale’s Echo revolves around dialogue choices, unsettling puzzles, and branching narratives that shape Vale’s relationships, memories, and ultimate fate. Beneath its eerie charm lies a deeply emotional story connecting the surreal with the human — all wrapped in cinematic visuals, melancholic music, and darkly witty writing.
