A platformer/adventure game about a boy and his journey to climb a giant tower. Why, and how did he get there? What will he find at the top? Influenced by the Oddworld series, Ico & Shadow of the Colossus, as well as Studio Ghibli films, Fossil Echo tells the story of a young boy and his journey to climb a giant tower in the middle of the sea. How he got there, and, more importantly, Why? are questions that will be answered via playable flashbacks during his ascent. And for those willing to meet the challenge, eight temples offer some insight on the game's lore and back-story.

The description for Fossil Echo is spot-on. It's a short, challenging game with an interesting narrative, which happens to be one of the most beatifully drawn titles I've ever seen. If you like platformers which concentrate on simplicity and *nail* that focus, then Fossil Echo is something which you should check out.
The greatest flaw of Fossil Echo is also its greatest strength: it is a pretty game with pretty animations. In fact these animations are very pretty and the designers wanted the player to see these pretty graphics so much, the platforming had to adapt to the art. And here lies the heart of the problem: the animations and the platform collisions are clunky, which makes the platforming frustrating and incoherent. You will often expect as you run close to the end of a platform to jump out as you press the jump button, only to open your mouth and rage in anger as your character falls to his death. No you're not insane. Yes you did press the button. My hypothesis is that the game doesn't like that you press the jump button before it finishes its running animation loop, so it has to end it, but by the time it can play the jumping animation, it won't because you're in the air and now Gravity
More interactive story than actual videogame, Fossil Echo is an atmospheric puzzle-platformer with beautiful hand drawn art and a haunting OST. You’re thrown into this world without any explanation, but you have one clear objective: make it to the top of the tower and don’t get caught by the armed men and machines that patrol it. To be fair, you can tell the developers put a lot of time and effort into this endeavor. As such, I'd prefer to mark this as a neutral review, though the bad outweighs the good. If you’ve played atmospheric platformers like Limbo or Hue, you’ll be familiar with the gameplay and overall challenge level of Fossil Echo. While you won’t be pushing objects to create a safe passage or outrunning huge spiders, your young protagonist will be unarmed in a hostile world and you’ll have to use your wits and creative thinking to avoid certain death. One hit can kill you,
I know the screenshots look pretty, but whether you want a good story or tight gameplay, you'll be deeply disappointed. By the end of the game at approximately the 1-hour mark, the simple and unimaginative story and all its potential side arcs are left unconcluded and unexplained, and there are some "mysterious" insinuating visual cues throughout the game that will amount to nothing. A complete waste of time and very unsatisfactory in that regard. The wordless storytelling accomplished nothing except corny gesturing and leaving things in the dark. The gameplay consists of three modes. The first is normal unhurried (and sometimes hurried) platforming that's pretty okay. Then there are obstacle courses that require you to follow some incredibly exact route with very exact timing or you die, and even if you survive some mistake, you probably blew your chance and have to commit suicide any
I love indie games but this was an exception. It is the same 3-4 stage designs over and over with very rigid red-light-green-light gameplay. If you don't do exactly as the creators planned you die and try again. Most of your time is spent waiting until the exact moment you're allowed to advance. The character can never decide if he's going to land or grab onto a platform which slows your momentum and causes you to fall off platforms and start over from the beginning. The game is pretty but not fun.
I just completed the game. $15 for a 1-2 hour adventure? I feel ripped off. I will admit, the animation in the game is spectacular, but if I wanted to pay to see art I would go to a gallery. Fossil Echo can be challenging, and I consider myself competent with platform games thanks to the good ol' SNES. However, as the stages progressed, I began to realize some of my deaths were not even my fault. The character likes to forget he's able to cling to ledges and instead falls to his doom. This thing in particular caused much frustration. There are also optional stages (one of which I accidentally skipped) that send you to flashbacks in Momento order. The final flashback (technically the first part of the story) shows what the adventure had all been for with a suspensful cutscene, leading up to the extremely anti-climactic ending that I don't dare give away. All in all, this game is pretty,
