ECHO of the HOURGLASSPlay the game

Player guide

Move carefully. Rewind deliberately.

The game starts in one click and supports keyboard and touch. Progress is saved in the current browser, so you can return to unlocked chapters later.

Solo controls

Move

Use the left and right controls to cross platforms and approach mechanisms.

Jump

Jump timing and momentum matter. Moving platforms carry Kael while he remains grounded.

Rewind

Hold rewind to retrace recent movement. Pendant energy already consumed is not restored.

Pause

Open the pause menu to suspend the deterministic simulation without losing the current stage.

Energy, checkpoints, and goals

The pendant is both Kael’s source of movement and the cost of correcting mistakes. Some mechanisms remain solved outside rewind history, while activated memory points become fall checkpoints. Collect every required gear or hourglass piece before attempting the final gate.

Co-op controls and roles

In local co-op, Present uses A, D, and W while Echo uses the arrow keys. Touch screens show a separate control block for each active role. In an online room, each player controls only their own traveler.
