The world is ending. It has done so before.

In Echo Harvest, survival is not about saving a single life. It is about building something that can endure across timelines.

Establish settlements, gather resources, explore an increasingly dangerous world and prepare your colonies against corrupted creatures. Beyond the safety of the Home Flame, corruption steadily closes in. You cannot stop time. You can only decide what to accomplish before it runs out.

Your past lives become your workforce.

What you do during each life determines the Echo you leave behind. Gather, build, explore, defend, transport supplies or seek the strange Echo Dust scattered through the world, and those experiences can shape the Echo that follows you into the future.

Over time, a lone Keeper becomes the centre of a growing network of settlements populated by the remnants of lives that came before.

Every timeline is a race against collapse.

Build farms, housing, storage, walls and turrets. Establish new settlements. Discover forgotten places and valuable resources. Strengthen your colonies while balancing expansion against the growing threat they attract.

Echo Dust can help stabilise a failing timeline, but it is limited. Eventually you must decide whether you are ready to construct a Beacon and Ascend — sacrificing the present to strengthen what comes next.

Fail, and the timeline is lost.

Ascend, and the struggle begins again under greater pressure.

But history remembers either way.

Echo Harvest records the story of your timeline as you play. Important discoveries, settlements, battles, losses, periods of prosperity and moments of collapse become part of an illustrated Chronicle of that world.

When a timeline finally ends in victory or total loss, its Chronicle is published to your Timeline Library and can be exported as an illustrated PDF — a permanent history of a world that no longer exists.

Shape the Past. Save the Future.
