## Chapter Guide

**Echo** is the sixth chapter of Act 2 in *Man of Medan* and the fourteenth overall.

The player controls Brad as he finds himself in a loop in one of the ship's hallways. This chapter can be replaced by Finding Friends and can be played fully only in Curator's Cut.

## *Lower Deck, 2:32 A.M.*

The chapter starts where the previous chapter ended: Fliss enters the hallway while Brad stays to inspect the corpses, after which the door closes, dividing the duo. Brad follows Fliss, only to not find her and end up in a loop.

* In the first loop, Brad simply walks through the corridor. While on the way, Brad is able to examine the soldier's corpse and the bullet in his chest.
* In the second loop, Brad is again in the corridor, but with a stressed Fliss (in a gray tank top instead of orange) and follows her. Upon re-examining the corpse, Brad finds "Alex" written on the bullet.
* In the third loop, Brad, once again in the corridor, turns to ask Fliss if she is sure this is the right way, but Danny is behind him instead, who forces him to go forward. Upon reaching the spot where the skeleton should be, Brad finds a fresh corpse. After picking up the bullet, it becomes a leech, which along with other leeches from the corpse cover Brad and Danny. Danny in a panic tries to remove the leeches and accidentally drops his gun and flashlight on the floor, after which the screen goes black.
* In the last fourth loop, Brad spots his ghostly version ahead of him and follows it. Upon reaching the spot where the corpse should be, he finds only a puddle of fresh blood and a bullet. Upon examining the bullet, Alex falls down next to Brad with a bashed left side of his head. He suddenly stands up and tries to grab Brad, who must complete QTEs to survive. Either way, when one of the brothers hits the other, the screen goes dark.

Brad finally manages to escape from the loop and, passing through the corridor, climbs the stairs and finds himself on the second floor of Cargo Hold 2. Brad can later investigate it and find a pair of corpses, a secret, and a wrench, which he takes. As Brad is about to jump down, he notices that a hanging corpse is looking at him. In a panic, Brad jumps and grabs onto a hanging bag, then jumps to the other side of the platform. The platform collapses and Brad falls down.

*Note: The following segment is skipped in Theatrical Cut.*

He encounters an undead soldier.

* If both are unarmed, Brad will run back to the upper floor in a panic.
* If Brad is armed, he can attack the undead soldier by hitting him over the head with a wrench. After Brad escapes, it is revealed that he killed Fliss.
* If the undead soldier is armed, Brad has to complete QTEs to dodge his attacks. Otherwise, Brad will be stabbed in the stomach and die.
* If both are armed, Brad must first dodge the undead soldier's attacks and then can decide to attack back.
