Alter Echo takes place on Proteus, a planet whose entire surface is
covered by an organic substance called Multiplast. ("Plast" for short.)
Multiplast is the most important substance in the Universe because rare
individuals called Shapers can physically shape it into all sorts of
bio-machines.
You play Nevin, a Shaper who works for one of the many Corporations
that mine Multiplast. You’re not just any Shaper—you can also Time
Dilate, something most Shapers can’t do. (Your ability to merge with
the energy fields of Multiplast is so powerful that you can effectively
stop time. Useful in combat, obviously.)
Your employers have sent you to Proteus because a Shaper named Paavo
has created a new form of Plast and it’s gotten out of control. The new
Plast (called Xenoplast) has become self-aware. It knows that humanity
plans to exploit it and it doesn’t want to suffer that fate. To make
matters worse, it’s figured out a way to retaliate.
The Xenoplast manufactures enemies to fight you much like our bodies
produce anti-bodies to fight infection. These opponents take the form
of various combat drones, and later in the game, clones of people you
know. It’s a long, hard fight ahead of you, and you’ll have to call
upon every ounce of skill and courage you’ve got. The last thing you
wanted was to have to save humanity, but hey—if you don’t do it, no one
else will.
