Echo Night 2: The Lord of Nightmares
1999 video game
Echo Night 2: Nemuri no Shihaisha is a 1999 first-person adventure video game developed and published by FromSoftware for the PlayStation. It is the second game in the Echo Night series. While it shares common elements with Echo Night, Echo Night 2 takes place in its own timeline.
Gameplay
Like the first game, Echo Night 2 is played from a first-person perspective, but unlike most other first-person games, there is no use of firearms in the game. When confronted by a ghost, the player must turn on the lights in the room by means of a light switch. The player is often transported into the past via passengers or certain objects. Once the player fulfills a task important to a spirit, they will vanish and drop an "Astral Piece" which can be used to get a different ending scene.
Plot
The game starts with Richard Osmond searching for his girlfriend Christina Collins, who's been missing for three months after she was last seen entering the library reserve room of a university she attended. When the police investigation goes nowhere, Richard takes it upon himself to search for her. He enters the university's library and finds a photo of a woman resembling Christina named Jessica Clancy.
This brief starts where responsible research should: with the source description of “Echo Night 2: The Lord of Nightmares” as 1999 video game. Everything that follows is an evidence route, not borrowed authority.
Why this record matters
The subject matters to the general reference register because the source frames it as 1999 video game. Its deeper value depends on whether names, dates, institutions and citations support that framing.
Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Aug 26, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q20732394. 1 of 1 selected statements include explicit references; 0 carry qualifiers and 0 use preferred rank. The first chronological checks are 1999.
The absence of detail may reflect summary conventions rather than a lack of surviving documentation. The lead is largely declarative, so disagreement and counter-evidence require a deliberate search beyond the opening account. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.
