CHRONO ECHO: The Reverse Progression Tactical Shooter

CHRONO ECHO: The Reverse Progression Tactical Shooter

Tagline: The fight for the future begins in the past. To survive, you must unlearn everything.

Chrono Echo is a tactical top-down shooter, defined by its unique Reverse Progression system.

Play as Kai, a veteran operative moving backward through his own life in the chaotic Anomaly Field. Master your powerful gear (The Remote, Echo Clones) in the early game, but prepare for the ultimate challenge: every step deeper into the past strips away your skills, health, and weapons. The game is a race against time and decay, culminating in a final, depowered Martial Arts duel—a test of pure player skill.

Key Features:

Reverse Power Fantasy: The only game where getting stronger means losing everything.

Echo Clone Mechanic: Duplicate your past 5 seconds of movement for complex tactical puzzles.

Dual-State Combat: Navigate high-stakes Forward Time segments (Turnstiles) where your reduced stats are locked.

This is a fully scalable IP with potential for sequels and spin-offs based entirely on the unique time-inversion mechanics.
