About This Demo

This is the DEMO VERSION of Fading Echo. You can check out and wishlist the full game above this section.

Liquify. Evaporate. Detonate.

Shift between human and fluid form to navigate impossible terrain, solve elemental puzzles, and weaponize the world around you.

Slip through cracks, burst through pipes, crash from the sky.

Creativity isn’t optional… it’s survival.

• Swap forms on the fly: solid body → liquid movement → chaos

• Explore vertical, hostile spaces built to be “unfair” (until you break the rules)

• Turn the environment into a weapon, not a backdrop

Corel doesn’t play nice. Mix water, lava, toxic waste, and Paradox Corruption into chain reactions that drench, conduct, solidify, and ruin your enemies’ day.

Everything reacts dynamically.

Everything matters.

Everything breaks if you push hard enough.

• Elemental combos that spread, explode, solidify, burn, and weaken

• Puzzle encounters where the “solution” is usually: make it worse (for them)

• Systems-first combat: experiment, adapt, and improvise under pressure

Fading Echo is a fast-paced elemental action-adventure RPG set in the scorched, floating isles of Corel.

You play as One, a young Legend with a tangled past and a dangerously short timeline.

Your mission? Stop the Paradox Corruption before the world vanishes under its grip.

Armed with Ætheric powers and a nasty talent for turning water into destruction, you’ll slide, shift, and smash your way through surreal realities to defy oblivion and rewrite your escape.

You’re not just here to make things go boom (though you’ll do plenty of that).

Shape Æther into high-impact combat styles, blend tactics with raw force, and fight back against the forces unraveling your home.

Sometimes with honor.

Sometimes with attitude.

You may fight alone, but you’re never without baggage.

Meet your crew of misfit allies (and your nemesis), each drawn to you by guilt, loyalty, or deeply questionable life choices.

Their stories might save you…

…or make everything worse.

Featuring an all-star cast including:

• Samantha Béart as One

• Matthew Mercer as... nooo we don't want to spoil this one for now!

• Laura Bailey as Vellum

• Jasmine Bhullar as Rahne

…and more voices inbound. Bob and Cayrn have things to say, we just can't tell you who they are. Yet.
