Somber Echoes is a dark fantasy Metroidvania filled with exploration and cosmic horrors.

The teams from Rock Pocket Games and Lav Games have produced a Greco-Roman tragedy with a science-fiction twist, and looked to our team to help bring the game’s mood and gameplay to the screen for their launch trailer.

The developers had in their drawer a recording of voice actor Melina Spetsieri’s monologue from the point of view of Harmonia – the game’s antagonist – which they were unsure about how to use. We found great inspiration in the piece, and we condensed, reordered and restructured the text to function as our guiding star for the trailer.

We took great care to capture exciting and dynamic combat from all over the game’s many areas, and spent countless hours in the halls of the spaceship Atromitos to familiarise ourselves with every facet of the game.
