Like the first game, Echo Night 2 is played from a first-person perspective, but unlike most other first-person games there is no use of firearms in the game. When confronted by a ghost the player must turn on the lights in the room by means of a light switch. The player is often transported into the past via the passengers or certain objects. Once the player fulfills a task important to a spirit they will vanish and drop an "Astral Piece" which can be used to get a different ending scene.
The game was released for the Sony PlayStation on August 5, 1999, and published by FromSoftware.[1] It was released only in Japan.[4]
In 2007, it was re-released for the PlayStation Network in Japan.[5]
In 2015, an English language fan translation was released.[6]
Japanese gaming publication Famitsu gave it a score of 32 out of 40.[1]
