Preview Sony's Echochrome now - on PC

[FarCry]

Remember how Valve Software announced Portal and it subsequently emerged that a project that inspired the puzzle game could be downloaded from the 'net?

 

Well, a similar thing has happened with Sony's Echochrome, its PSN/PS3 puzzle game that was announced at E3 that's based on the manipulation of 3D objects that make up each of its levels. The idea is to guide a matchstick man to safety.

 

OLE Coordinate System, which you can download now for PC, features a very similar concept and has presumably inspired Echochrome.

 

You can create the block-worlds seen in Echochrome, rotate them in 3D and drop little fellas onto constructions and let them walk around.

 

At least, that's as far as we got as all the instructions are in Japanese. Still, it's an indicator of what to expect from Echochrome. Just don't play it after visiting the boozer.
