<i>Sing, O Muses, of the young nymph without a voice of her own. She sits by her lake, dark and deep, among the delicate grasses and twisting trees. She waits. Beneath the calm surface of the water, a monster waits, too. You know the story, o Muses and all who listen. Here he comes: the beautiful youth for whom Echo wastes away. Protect him, Echo, before he walks blindly into his fate! Warn him away from the darkness of the lake, even at the cost of your own heart!</i> [[<i>Enter NARCISSUS.</i>->Echo and Narcissus One]]

"Echo, echo" is a text puzzle game created in 48 hours for GMTK Game Jam 2021. As Echo, an immortal nymph, your goal is to <b>warn people away</b> from a dangerous monster lurking in your lake. But as in the original myth, you can only use pieces of what other people say. <b>Click on the phrases to join them together in different ways - then hit "Go on..." when you've found a good answer.</b> But as you do so, you may find that pushing people away may be difficult...

<i>Sing, O Muses, of the young nymph without a voice of her own. Alone she sits by her lake, dark and deep, among the delicate grasses and twisting trees. She has achieved a bitter success. Beneath the calm surface of the water, a monster haunts her. Beneath the calm surface of the water, the spectre of her drowned love wraps its arms around her and weighs her down. But no one else has fallen victim to the lake, she tells herself, and all are safe. All are safe, save for Echo, this tragedy's willing sacrifice.</i> [[THE END.->Title Page]]

<i>Sing, O Muses, of the young nymph who found a voice. She sits by her lake, dark and deep, among the delicate grasses and twisting trees. Her companion, old and grey, sits with her, listening to her tales. Beneath the calm surface of the water, a monster may wait. Beneath the calm surface of the water, the spectre of a drowned boy may linger. But for now, they are content, and all is well.</i> [[THE END.->Title Page]]

<i>Many years have passed. The lake remains the same, untouched by time. Still the waters are dark and deep, and the grasses are green and delicate, and the trees reach twisting branches in supplicance to the gods. Still Echo, this haven’s guardian, is deep in mourning. Her grief has not been undone by time, either. She has spent days innumerable remembering her lost love. How he was drowned by the monster that still lurks within the lake. She failed then - but no more! Echo has resolved that no one should come near her or her lake ever again. They must leave her with this monster and this mourning. If they try to come near, she must drive them away. She has announced her resolution to the Fates. And as the light comes up… [[A CHILD enters, looking for flowers.->Echo and Child Start]] </i>
