ECHO of the HOURGLASSPlay the game

Player guide

Move carefully. Rewind deliberately.

The game starts in one click and supports keyboard and touch. Progress is saved in the current browser, so you can return to unlocked chapters later.

Solo controls

Move

Use A / D or the left / right arrow keys to move. On touch screens, use the left and right buttons below the game.

Jump

Press W, the up arrow or Space. On touch screens, tap the jump button. Moving platforms carry Kael while he stands on them.

Rewind

Hold R or Shift, or the touch rewind button, to retrace recent movement. Pendant energy already consumed is not restored.

Interact

Press E or the touch interaction button when a mechanism asks for it. The available action depends on the chapter and the gear you have unlocked.

Pause

Press Esc during play or use the pause button to pause and resume without losing the current stage.

Energy, checkpoints, and goals

The pendant is both Kael’s source of movement and the cost of correcting mistakes. Some mechanisms remain solved outside rewind history, while activated memory points become fall checkpoints. Collect every required gear or hourglass piece before attempting the final gate.

Co-op controls and roles

In local co-op, Present uses A, D, and W while Echo uses the arrow keys. Touch screens show a separate control block for each active role. In an online room, each player controls only their own traveler.
