What is Echoes of the Living?
Set in a European town during 1996, this survival horror game follows a mysterious fog, a spreading sickness, and the return of the dead.
Laurel Reaves, a police officer investigating her father's fate, and Liam Oakwood, a former Special Forces member searching for his fiancée, become connected as they investigate the disaster and seek a way out.
