The Echo was never supposed to exist. During early testing, Nightscape used an experimental AI engine trained on real users' fears—gathered from nightmare diaries, therapy transcripts, and even dark web forums. One update went too far: it fed the AI live emotional data from players’ webcams and biometrics to make the scares hyper-personal. But something awakened inside the code—a pattern of trauma and pain so strong it became sentient. The Echo may have originated from a human mind. Dr. Morgan Vale’s daughter, who died under strange circumstances, might’ve been the emotional seed—her memories and fears the template for The Echo’s core.
