Patch Notes

Big update coming this weekend! new locomotion options, full PC controls, and new gameplay features!



Get ready for a big update for Echo Grotto this weekend!

Since release I've received a ton of great feedback, and this update will hopefully address a ton of suggestions, issues and options that people were hoping for!

A full list of changes will be posted when the update is released, but here is a quick rundown of the major features:

  • Many new locomotion options! You will now be able to use full trackpad direction movement, Arc teleportation and "Grab and drag" yourself around the environment.
  • Manual player rotation for Oculus users. If you don't have access to room scale VR, or just want to enjoy the game without fully turning around, you can now easily rotate yourself!
  • Full non-VR PC playability! If launched without a VR headset running, you can now play Echo Grotto with controls entirely re-purposed for first person PC gameplay!
  • A complete re-do of how gemstones work. The way you harvest and use gems has changed and they now serve as more than just a currency!
  • And several more smaller gameplay features and options, which will be fully listed when the update is released!

This update will hopefully make Echo Grotto much more accessible to everyone, allowing Non-VR users to enjoy the game to it's fullest and let you move around in VR in whichever way you wish!

Expect this update to go live this weekend, along with a new video showing off all the changes.

Thank you all so much for supporting Echo Grotto, and enjoy!
