## _Story_
Influenced by the _Oddworld_ series, _Ico_ , and _Shadow of the Collosus_ , 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 and why
he got there are questions that will be answered via playable flashbacks
during his ascent. The game offers over 15 minutes of fully animated cutscenes
and the story is told without any dialogue or written text.
## _Gameplay_
_Fossil Echo_ mixes old-school, _”die & retry” _platforming gameplay with
some stealth elements. As in _Abe’s Oddysee_ and _Another World_ , you have
little margin for error; precise movement and timing is required to get
through and avoid confrontation, as the character is young, weak, and unable
to fight or kill, most of the time…
## _Art_
_Fossil Echo_ features a detailed art style, with pre-rendered/hand painted
backgrounds and hand animated 2D characters. Adopting the style of animated
film, it presents an array diverse environments, from lush forest to snow
covered tower. With no HUD or any indications displayed on screen, the game
aims at immersing you from start to finish.
## _Sound_
The world of _Fossil Echo_ is brought to life by over two hours of unique,
original music by John Robert Matz (Gunpoint, Rodina) and sound design by
Gordon McGladdery (Rogue Legacy, Fantastic Contraption). Music and sound work
in concert to set the mood and highlight the story and actions during gameplay
and cutscenes.
Fossil Echo is developed by _Phil Crifo_ (Story, Art & Design), _Thierry
Boura_ (Programming), _John Robert Matz_ (Music), and _A Shell In The Pit_
(Sound Design).
