Chained Echoes – Ashes of Elrant review (PS5)

Chained Echoes: Ashes of Elrant, developed by Matthias Linda and published by Deck13, arrives as the first major DLC for the critically acclaimed indie RPG. Available on PlayStation, Xbox, Switch, and PC, this expansion serves as an epilogue set a year after the events of the base game.

With Siren’s Rest, The Chinese Room returns to the haunted wreck of the Beira D — only this time, players experience its horrors from a new perspective: that of Mhairi, a diver sent into the ocean’s abyss to uncover the truth behind the rig’s mysterious fate. It’s a DLC that doesn’t reinvent the core gameplay loop but expands the game’s setting and emotional resonance in clever and deeply unsettling ways, but it’s also very much on the short side.
