    An engrossing and chilling experience, Dark Echo is one of the most interesting games on mobile devices of the last few months.

    The brevity and minimalism do make it hard to take Dark Echo as more than just a novelty, but it's no doubt that the game's dark corridors hide some bright ideas.

    An admirable attempt to do something different and clever on iOS, dragged down by a few too many levels that require tedious slogging.
