Echo wins Nordic Game Awards’ biggest honor

The 15th annual Nordic Game Awards has announced its winners, and Ultra Ultra’s Echo went home with quite a few prizes. The uncanny sci-fi adventure was up in six different categories, and it took home three, including the 2018 Nordic Game of the Year award.

Echo is a mind-bending thriller where the enemies learn new moves based on what the player does. It’s the first game from Danish indie studio Ultra Ultra, and it picked up awards for Best Game Design, Best Debut, and Game of the Year. Swedish developer Tarsier Studios also won in multiple categories for its atmospheric horror platformer Little Nightmares: It took home the Best Audio and Best Art awards.
