About the Game

Trapped with no memory and no other way out, there is no choice but to ascend this massive mysterious tower. Your climb demands perfection, but is the fear of falling stopping you from achieving your goalsĀ  ?

Echelon is a first-person platformer with a unique mechanic. Without the ability to jump, you will have to push yourself off the ground and walls in order to reach the top.



Explore different environments, each with their own unique twists. But be careful, one small mistake and you might have to retrace your steps from down below.


Journal pages from a previous climber can be found throughout the tower. Can this person's personal journey help understand why this tower exists?


Seeking a true test of skill? Compete for the fastest time and challenge your limits against others. Find the shortcuts and fight for the top of the leaderboard!
