I have never seen an interactive app as good as eko. This app unveils stories in REAL time with REAL characters. I mean, human characters. Yes, you read that right! No animations; these are people like you and me.
You are controlling to get the best out of them. Shot in real-time locations, walk the characters through according to your choice, while the lead character acts as a narrative for you. The cherry on the cake is that the app is entirely free to use and no hidden charges! Another reason to admire the app, eko avoids having any intimacy on the app, making it suitable for everyone!
