What is Fading Echo?

This single-player, third-person action-adventure follows One across Corel's floating islands to stop the Paradox Corruption. You explore nonlinear environments, pass through pipes and cracks as a water sphere, and combine water attacks with lava or toxic waste. Crossing between alternate versions of locations changes resources, hazards, and combat rules.
