Travel through time along with Ecco the dolphin, in a game that lets you experience what it's like to be a dolphin. You'll do things just like they do in real life, such as eating fish, surfacing to breathe, using your special sonar, and jumping out of the water.
The story behind Ecco the Dolphin is more complex than you might think from the cover art. As Ecco, you're a dolphin who managed to escape a powerful whirlpool that destroyed your pod. You have a special mission: find a way to save them using an ancient time machine and meeting a magical being called the Asterite.
The gameplay in Ecco the Dolphin is mainly about exploring different underwater levels, which often branch out into smaller areas with hidden paths and secrets. You'll need to navigate through water, avoiding obstacles like volcanoes, strong currents, and deadly creatures, and use your sonar to communicate with friendly animals, map out the area, or unlock new paths.
You also need to keep an eye on Ecco's health and air supply. Dolphins can't stay underwater for too long and need to come up for air regularly. Some levels may have hidden pockets of air, but you'll need to find fish or special clams called Shelled Ones to replenish your health.
