Echoes of Lyra

Game premise and mechanics

Echoes of Lyra is a third-person narrative adventure on PC. It follows a thirteen-year-old girl named Lyra, who has lost her voice. Players explore a world shaped by her mind, engaging in puzzle-solving and real-time encounters with creatures called Shadows of Velaria. You do not defeat these creatures; instead, you set them free, with each one representing a form of pain that has morphed into a jailer of sorts for Lyra.

World design and exploration

The game is set in Velaria, a broken world featuring colossal ruins and cathedrals embedded in rock. Built with Unreal Engine 5, the environment is visually striking, emphasizing empty spaces that reflect Lyra's internal struggles. Players will traverse five distinct regions, each representing a different aspect of survival in a place that embodies Lyra’s emotional state.
