About
In the near future, humanity is steadily expanding into the depths of space. You are an astronaut on a routine but important mission: follow a designated route to a remote station and deliver technical data.
Along the way, command contacts you with an additional request — retrieve documents from the research vessel "Echo-7", which recently went silent. The silence is attributed to a recent geomagnetic storm disrupting communications.
As you approach Echo-7, you attempt to contact the crew — but there’s no response. The ship appears functional from the outside. Inside — nothing.
No welcoming party, no signs of life. Just empty corridors, scattered personal belongings, and the unsettling feeling that you're not alone.
Key Features

Reviews
building a great atmosphere and an alien that is "learning human intelligence" and then using 20 minutes of AI voice dialogues to explain that is certainly a choice stop giving these games good reviews, I dont care how good their games in the past have been. creativity is dying in the indie horror world and you're assisting it
I don't mind a walking simulator that tells a story. This was ALMOST that, however, once you got to the puzzle where you have to listen to 4 different audio logs that mention a generic number in each that JUST SO HAPPENS TO BE A KEYCODE for the door, is where I stopped. I could even let the AI Voices slide. But that immersion breaking puzzle was the last straw. REFUND. SorryNotSorry.

Does the D in DIRE stand for doors? Why do I have to go through 1 billion of them. I unfortunately was scammed with the 'mostly positive reviews', clearly now they are all botted or paid off. AI voice completely killed it for me. There's nothing here other then pretty graphics. Please stop relying on AI. I believe you have the creative ideas, just keep AI out of the games.
"Third" is not a number. The keypad puzzle needs some work.
Единственный косяк игры - она короткая. Проходится ненапряжно буквально за час. В остальном всё шикарно - атмосфера давит, музыкальное сопровождение создаёт отличное погружение. Хоррор элемент не такой очевидный и его не много - это создаёт больше шансов испугаться. Первые 50% игры пытался понять - что тут происходит? Вторые 50% сидел в мурашках и ждал нападения.
光影画面一流水准,故事比较老套,人类在太空异化成了怪物,造型和DeadSpace里的不能说一模一样只能说完全一致……. 但是是由电磁风暴导致的,不太理解研究人类意识为啥要跑到深空。另外故事明显没讲完啊,女老板下达了鱼死网破任务,然后就戛然而止了几个意思,希望制作组早点把后续补完才是。
Страшные Игры с Яриком на вечер. Вот какой должна была быть Директива 80, а не то что мы получили. Прекрасный бюджетный хоррор, повествует нам историю: космонавта который прилетел разобраться с ситуацией. Визуал, музыка, сюжет все на уровне. Прелесть а не игра.
Great atmosphere, immersive sound design, and an intriguing story. Exploring Echo-7 was tense and enjoyable from beginning to end. A solid sci-fi horror experience for fans of space mysteries.
Игра понравится всем любителям космических ужасов! Графика и атмосфера отличные. Однако гемплей пустой. Вообще, у меня сложилось такое впечатление, что ее не доработали или человек просто устал один ее тянуть. Игра очень короткая, пройти можно за час. Благо стоит дешево!
Bir araştırma uzay İstasyonunda belgeleri almam için görevlendirildik. Basit görev ama beklediğimiz gibi gitmiyor istasyona geldiğimizde bir şeylerin doğru olmadığını görebiliyoruz. True game optimizasyon ve grafik anlamında harika iş çıkartırken bu oyun korku ve hikayesi diğer oyunlarına göre şahsen zayıf olmuş.
