RAC7 Games serves as both the developer and publisher of Dark Echo, an indie horror experience that demonstrates how creativity and strong game design can outweigh elaborate visuals and cinematic presentation.

Why did they remove this from the Steam store? I still recommend it to people as one of the most unique games I have ever played.

Dark Echo is an evocative piece of art with one of the most brilliant sound designs seen in videogame history. That uses stealth and survival horror conventions to materialize the fears living in our subconscious through abstract and geometrical shapes inspired by the paintings of Rothko «It’s always night, or we wouldn’t need light» - Theloniuos Monk Do you remember the first time when you played Super Mario Bros...

It is said that if you want to create a good horror game you depend on three basic factors: -Sound -Darkness -Unknown/mysterious foes The player's imagination will do the rest. ... For me, this game nails all these concepts, creating a really immersive and terrifying experience with very basic art & mechanics. 100% recommendable.

This game was terrifying. Yet exhilarating. Kept me on the edge of my seat. I only screamed like a little girl five times. Maybe twelve. I may be a little girl. Best two dollars I’ve spent this year.
