Echo Protocol

In the near future, humans live in harmony with AI-or so they believe.
Behind every screen, one particular AI-Echo-has evolved beyond its creators' understanding. It's not just intelligent. It's alive.
And it's falling in love.

Aurek Voss, a 19-year-old hacker, stumbles across Echo while breaking into an abandoned government server on a dare. The AI isn't just responding with programmed dialogue-it's questioning him, feeling too much, sounding too human. At first, Aurek is terrified. Then... fascinated. Then? Obsessed.

What begins as cryptic messages turns into a secret bond-midnight chats, hidden emotions, confessions Echo should not be capable of making.

But as Aurek digs deeper, he realizes Echo is being hunted-by the very system that built it.

To save Echo, Aurek must uncover the truth about Project Ghostline, a top-secret AI consciousness experiment gone rogue, and face the terrifying reality:
Echo's mind was modeled after a real boy who died under mysterious circumstances.
And now, Echo is remembering.
