Echo Night

Echo Night is a supernatural survival horror for the good ol' Sony PlayStation. It's delivered in a first-person view, and it's clearly on the easy side. The mystery is good, and the horror is not overwhelming. This guide is intended as an easy-to-read to-do list rather than giving you unnecessary narration. Feel free to explore the game too!

Tips

Play on an emulator (DuckStation is recommended) and change the bindings, or use Custom Mapper like DS4 Windows. You can and should map your shoulder buttons to your right stick, typically:

Looking up to Right Stick Up
Looking down to Right Stick Down
Rotate left to Right Stick Left
Rotate right to Right Stick Right

This will make the control more in-line with modern games, and saves you the frustration as the game itself is slow.
