Want to take your mind for a totally unique spin? Here's a game that will have the words "one more go" echoing over and over in your head...

Somewhere, a man walks for eternity, with only his echo for company. Where the ground beneath his feet changes as quickly as his reality - a reality you shape with a mere twist of your fingers...

Welcome to echochrome... a world where imagination is everything.

In echochrome you guide the mysterious wandering mannequin through a brain-teasing array of 3D mazes full of hazards and perils. Overcoming these difficulties is the key to echochrome's innovative and imaginative gameplay, where altering the viewpoint and perspective of each maze can turn a problem into a solution. Sudden drops can become hidden from sight behind a wall, allowing the mannequin to walk across without falling, and dead ends can be changed to seem as if they join - so they will.

Simple, yet incredibly deep, echochrome's world is governed by five laws of visual perspective, and only by manipulating these laws will you be able to master the challenges that lie ahead:

1. The Law of Perspective Travelling - when two separate pathways appear to be touching, they are.

2. The Law of Perspective Landing - if one pathway appears to be above another, it is.

3. The Law of Perspective Existence - when the gap between two pathways is blocked from view and the pathways appear to be connected, they are.

4. The Law of Perspective Absence - when a hole is blocked from view, it does not exist.

5. The Law of Perspective Jumping - when the mannequin jumps, he will land on whatever appears to be beneath him.

Available on UMD for PSP and to download on PlayStation 3 in May 2008, echochrome aims to challenge your perspective on what you think a puzzle game is capable of. It's not just for single players either, as the mind-stretching fun encourages everyone to pitch in with how a level should be completed.

Should your inventive streak be a bit more prominent, there's also the ability to create your own levels and share them with friends via PlayStation Network or Ad Hoc Mode on PSP - so there's always a fresh challenge just around the corner in echochrome.
