Unknown Echoes
Still in development, feedback is welcome. The current content is primarily focused on the first dimension, "Echo Realm." More dimensions and abilities are planned for future versions, with an expected total of 3 dimensions, 6 main bosses, and 5 abilities/artifacts.
Step out, listen to the echoes of the earth, and discover a world long forgotten.
Unknown Echoes is an adventure Mod centered around exploration, puzzle-solving, boss battles, and progressive ability growth.
You will open the gateway to the Echo Realm, tracking ancient echoes across ten distinct biomes, solving ancient mechanisms, defeating guardians, and gradually mastering three "Echo" powers, ultimately completing your personal "graduation" at the Cliffside Grand Archive.

Bosses and Regional Guardians
Three Main Bosses
Each main boss has a Guard Break mechanic: They heavily resist damage while their guard is up. You must use the arena's environmental mechanics to create a vulnerability window before you can deal effective damage.
