Project Title: Blade Echo

Brief Synopsis: In a near-future war against a mysterious alien force known as the Voltharians, an elite group of soldiers known as Echoes are humanity’s last line of defense. Each Echo is paired with an advanced AI guide that analyzes combat, predicts enemy behavior, and helps its user survive impossible battles. But survival comes at a cost. In the Echo Program, failure isn’t heroic it’s expendable. If an Echo falls in battle, they are simply replaced by the next soldier. Another name erased. Another Echo lost.
