Description
About This Game
The arena remembers.
EVERY ENEMY IS A PAST YOU
Survive a round and it comes back as a Hollow Echo: a ghost that replays your run, move for move. Every round adds another one. Touch any of them and the run is over.
WALK. DASH. THAT'S ALL.
Two verbs and nothing else. The dash is fast but never safe: there are no invincibility frames, so every escape is a line you commit to, through the gaps you left yourself.
FOUR BOSSES, ALL OF THEM YOU
Every fifth round your echoes stop wandering and fight as one: THE GAUNTLET, THE UNDERTOW, THE STINGER, and finally GHOSTLOCK itself. Read the tells, learn the patterns, and break them apart one ghost at a time.
FOUR ZONES
Paper, then ash, then the lights go out. In the sonar dark your past only shows when a ping finds it, and in the red zone the exit seals itself shut while you search for it.
GO ONE ROUND DEEPER
Fast clears chain into a streak bonus. Every run has a seed you can share, so a friend can play the same arena. The Daily Run gives everyone the same seed and one leaderboard.
