Hello, My name is Lyubomir Ikonomov, I am living in Bulgaria as I am writing this.

All of the audio, 3D assets, animations, textures and so on - are created by me, in every audiovisual pieces I have created so far.

I was asked about - What I think about the world. This sound like what is my philosophy. I love all of the knowledge I can get really. I have a lot of diferent agendas, that sometimes contradicts, even on purpose. I think a lot about the world. I have strange life for some years now - I live nearly off the grid in a mountainous region at 1200m altitude. I know some stuff. And I am child-like about other. I have visions. I am bad at writing this.

--- More about the Playback/Game play ---

If there is resolution or playback problems:
The initial resolution is set to 1080p. For change - click the middle button in the main menu twice. A purple button will appears. It is made to toggle between 720p Windowed/1080 Fullscreen/2k Fullscreen/4k Fullscreen. There is also 4 buttons for the detail that will lower the anti-aliasing and other settings. Leaving the default green setting is preferable if there is no problems.    

You can explore the first 2 acts. This is experimental feature and there is no interactive elements except for the free movement and the zoom. You could still find flying around and directing your own visual experience - interesting. The level is a mess. Which... could be charming rawness on its own. The zoom can be used also to create Dolly zoom effect.

By pressing "E" - you can explore in first person mode, or switch back to the original perspective.
By pressing "Q" - you can pause/play the progress of the audiovisual. The character is independent from the  pause of the audiovisual, and you could still explore around - if "E" is pressed.

Controls: 
Mouse Buttons - Fly/Zoom
"W,A,S,D" - Movement
"Left Shift" - Acceleration
"Q" - Between Time
"E" - Explore
"Esc" - Pause/Select Stage/back to the Main menu

------------ About Heptic --------------

The story suggest that this is an in-between dimensional way-station, part of a much bigger system - created for the purpose of communication with the intelligent part of the cosmic-fabric.

They (the builders) have discovered that the Stars are not what it appears. By building this way-station system trough the galaxies - their goal was to transcribe better the encoded messages from the Stars, as well to possibly establish two-way connections with the Stars. 

Their experiment suggest, that the Stars transmit a subatomic message, that penetrates and  governs meaningfully the Universe. It organizes and shapes matter by assisting and directing the processes of it. Evolution of new functions and possibilities - both in living and non-living matter arises from those received messages - in a form of a blueprints.

The builders and their civilizations have disappeared, and from what it appears - the experiment have failed. Because of the nature of how the stations exist - in-between dimensional; and because the existence of the stations require constant feed of currently unstable auxiliary sub-level systems - with time the feed that keep the existence of the stations - fails. 

What you can explore from the work of the builders - is a series of obscured broken visions looped in repeat, called The Echo. You, the explorer - is the first to discover them. Or so you think so.
