Story Beats:
Echo always wondered why they felt different, why they always heard a head-thumping tune that no one else seemed to notice. One day, Echo tried to uncover the truth behind this music that was becoming impossible to ignore. Only then did they discover how the elite were hoarding this powerful and vibrant music to themselves in order to keep the masses in an aphonic state of order and obedience. All hope was not lost; there were others like Echo. It was time to rebel! Will you be able to help Echo in their quest to bring Rock to the people?
Developer Team:
Echo Rift was developed by students from the University of Utah's Division of Games Masters' Program.
