Ultra wide screen, Multi-monitor and aspect ratio adjustment support. FOV changes to match the resolution to give the same impression as if playing on a standard 16:9 screen, up to a maximum viewing angle of 180 degrees. It. Is. Awesome.

ECHO now supports Razer Chroma peripherals: Experience the blackouts across all your Chroma peripherals! Palace ambience color corresponding to which section you are in, as well as active keys, hurt sphere, stamina- and recharging-bar. It’s cool! Also, now you can re-watch cut-scenes and Verses from the Level Select Menu. (Cut-scene “seen” status for being able to skip should now save properly as well!) Window mode, resolution and aspect ratio now only gets applied when user presses an Apply-button instead of applying while changing values in the menu, which sucked. And, of course, minor bug fixes and visual updates. Merry Christmas!

We fixed a bunch of stuff: - Unlocks not unlocking fixed. This will also unlock them for people who already should have gotten them. - Fixed the Six Thrones Problem. - Fixed issue where some keys on the keyboard were not bindable - Extendable bridge teleportation fix. - Fix for Key Waypoints activating too early under certain circumstances - Fixed player camera getting stuck sometimes. - UI and text tweaks. - Visual updates and minor gameplay bug fixes/tweaks here and there. - Steam Cloud enabled. Thanks for playing! Sincerely, Ultra Ultra

Achievements now work again! The bad news is that the achievements (not) gotten between this Hotfix and the last, will have to be gotten again... Really sorry about that. In our rush to fix the Rapunzel problem it seems we accidentally left some important Steam components behind. Other smaller fixes include not falling out of world and not getting stuck, which is more fun than falling out of world and getting stuck! Sincerely, ULTRA ULTRA

Much to our dismay, some players got stranded on the top of the initial tower, unable to journey into the game below! We've committed a fix for this, so everybody should be able to go and meet themselves! Sincerely, Ultra Ultra

Yes, Rose Leslie voices our protagonist En! Ever since our very first trailer people have been calling us out on this, which has been great - We wanted Rose for the part precisely because of her distinct voice. She is of course known for her roles in Game of Thrones, Luther and most recently The Good Fight. It’s been an absolute pleasure to work with her on bringing this character to life. Rose’s energy and uncanny ability to be at once vulnerable and bulletproof really fit the character, and we couldn’t be more thrilled with the result. The other main character in ECHO, the thousand year old sentient starship “London” is played by Nick Boulton – A seasoned veteran of game voice-performance, having lend his talent to games like Hellblade: Senua’s Sacrifice and the Mass Effect series among others. –And he’s a lot of fun in the booth, always making sure it’s a good time. http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30294465/81e388ce9abd2905c858b3e6573d91bf1fb7369e.jpg Get a glimpse of Rose and Nick in action, and learn more about En and London in our new “Voices” vignette below. https://youtu.be/2MIm8QxM2HM

The team is putting the very final touches on the game, and we can't believe our baby is about to meet the world - Launching your first game is both exhilarating and nerve-wracking, kind of like the game itself actually! http://cdn.akamai.steamstatic.com/steamcommunity/public/images/clans/30294465/25bd1c15f64f5779cdde705f00af375146db6be4.jpg
