Source-derived summary

Echo (stylized as ECHO) is a 2017 stealth video game developed and published by Danish indie studio Ultra Ultra. It was released on 19 September 2017 for Windows and PlayStation 4 with a positive reception. However, the game was not a financial success, and it was the only game released by Ultra Ultra before it shut down.

Setting

Echo takes place in a far-distant future; during the Push Era, technology quickly advanced, allowing humanity to colonize distant systems and planets in a period known as the Requisition Rush. Vast artificial intelligences and genetic enhancement are among the many sciences that approach magical levels of capability in this time.

En is a young woman from the "Resourcefuls Program": genetically modified humans created by her mystical grandfather "Gramps" to be capable of always succeeding, no matter the challenge. She travels with a bitter and pessimistic AI named London, who had previously partnered with a man named Foster; London initially despises En for her involvement with Foster's death, but comes to respect and even care for her.

Plot

En wakes from one hundred years in cryogenic stasis, alone aboard a spaceship piloted by London. Sometime before the journey, En had run away from Gramps, who hired Foster and London to recapture her. The incident left Foster dead; before he died, En acquired stellar coordinates given to him by Gramps, as well as a red cubic device, which she believes can be used to revive Foster.

Editorial analysis

Why this record matters

The phrase “2017 stealth video game” supplies a clear boundary for inquiry. It also exposes the unanswered questions: who defined that boundary, when it became stable and which sources sit outside it.

Evidence profile

Named sources, stable identifiers and responsible institutions provide the strongest route from overview to verifiable evidence. The source revision retrieved here is dated Mar 21, 2026. The linked authority identifier is Q51543992. None of the 1 selected statements returned an explicit reference. The first chronological checks are 2017.

Critical limits

Overview language is designed for orientation and should not be treated as a substitute for the evidence cited beneath it. The source lead contains qualifying language; that uncertainty should survive quotation, summary and reuse. Authority statements aid reconciliation but still require their own references, qualifiers and ranks to be checked.

How to read it

Use the entry as an orientation point, then follow its citations and revision history. Names, dates and institutional relationships should be checked against the original record.
