What is Echo of the Sky?

Echo of the Sky  is a musical puzzle-platformer taking place in a fictional universe inspired by Indian culture and Hinduism.

Thousands of years ago, to preserve the soil from a terrible disease, the Devas sent the land to the Celestial Realm.
Then, they blessed each human being with the potential of one of their powers.

Voicers can alter their surroundings according to the Chants they sing.
Hearingers can hear and perceive everything above human understanding.
Touchers can feel and heal impurities when touching any living being.

Our story revolves around Saira, a young merchant gifted with the power of the Voice.

Her life changed the day she read the Hymn to Emancipation, a poem written by Sage Narada.
These words… She couldn't tell why, but she immediately felt connected to them.

And thus, on that day, Saira left her hometown and went on a journey during which she would discover the places described
in each stanza of the poem, a journey that will lead her toward the final stage of Purushartha: Emancipation.

As Saira will discover the treasures the world has to offer, she will be able to understand and release
the true potential of her Chants, thanks to the obstacles she will face, but also the people she will meet along the way...
