''Alter Echo'' is a third-person action adventure game released for the Playstation 2 and Xbox in 2003.

In the far future, “Plast” is a miracle substance that psychics, called "shapers," can use to form anything, including spaceships that allow humans to travel to distant planets. Young shaper Nevin accompanies a team sent to the planet Proteus, the only place in the galaxy where Plast can be found, now under the thumb of Paavo, a brilliant shaper who intends to use Plast to wipe out humanity. Their ship is shot down and Nevin is saved by a mysterious being who gives him a new suit made of [=EchoPlast=], and instructions to stop Paavo.
