Echo Night: Beyond, known in Japan as Nebula: Echo Night[2] is a 2004 survival horror adventure video game developed by FromSoftware for the PlayStation 2 console.[3][4] Agetec published the game in North America, with the European release, by Indie Games, following in August 2005.[5] It is the third game in the Echo Night series. While it shares common elements with Echo Night and Echo Night 2: The Lord of Nightmares, Beyond takes place in its own timeline.

The game tells a science fiction ghost story, set in the not-too-distant future. Players take on the role of a newlywed, off for a honeymoon on the Moon. The vessel crashes before reaching its lunar resort destination, however, separating the just-married couple and leaving the hero alone at an abandoned research base. Players explore the station from a first-person perspective, inside a spacesuit. In addition to the many spiritual anomalies that haunt the station, strange lunar lights and relative weightlessness add to the atmosphere of the game's environments.
