Some heroes fight because they believe they can change the world. Others fight because they know they probably can't. Cayrn Sandh belongs firmly in the second category. An emissary from Echo, leader of the notorious 5 Ghosts, and one of the most accomplished operatives in the Echoverse, Cayrn has spent centuries navigating impossible missions, impossible choices, and the consequences that inevi…
When people think about fantasy worlds, they often imagine ancient ruins swallowed by forests. Ygdran Hollow is the opposite. Once, this region was covered by oceans, thriving ecosystems, and some of the most advanced research facilities on Corel. Today, it is a vast desert dominated by an impossible structure: a colossal tree-like organism so large that it can be seen from miles away, its root…

Hi Legends! Steam Next Fest is around the corner, starting June 15th — and yes, we’ll be there! So we figured it was time to give the Demo a little glow-up before welcoming more of you in. This update brings a revamped Perks screen, new UI and audio improvements, more languages, better performance, and Bob. Yes, Bob. As always, thank you so much for your support, feedback and suggestions. Big s…
It's time to talk about the man behind the curtain: the architect, the manipulator, the voice whispering that perhaps freedom isn't worth the price it demands. His name is Maddock Kelevra, and he believes he can save reality itself. Who is Maddock? Before he became one of the leaders of the Paradox, Maddock was a Legend and, yes, a Kelevra (but we will not spoil further). A scholar, warrior, an…

Hey Legends, We've just rolled out a small update focused on polish and overall experience : Volcano Arenas (cindervault) · Tweaked difficulty across a few combat arenas for a smoother challenge curve Localization · Improved translations for all currently supported languages · Fixed placeholder text and incomplete sentences · Added missing terms for better consistency Thanks for playing and sha…
Bob Wasn’t Supposed to Exist During an early internal review of some creature concepts from one of our devs, the whole team instantly fell in love with them. The boblets were almost too cute to fight. Someone joked: “It would be sad to kill those.” Then the idea escalated. What if one of them was unkillable? What if he always came back, no matter what you did? His name would be Bob. ⚙️ The Bast…
Hey Legends, We just dropped more languages into Fading Echo! Full text + subtitles support for: · Russian · Portuguese Brazilian · Spanish LATAM We also fixed more stuff: · Improvements (quality) for English, French, Spanish (EU) and German · Fix to audio mismatch in Cutscene 02
Hey Legends, A major update is coming to Fading Echo Demo, focused on one thing: clarity. Clearer status effects. Clearer enemy tells. Clearer UI. Better feel. Also. We heard you. No more movement lock in dialogue . Keep moving. Keep flowing. 🔥 TL;DR · Burning is less punishing · Fights are easier to read: updated attack signs + improved combat HUD · Jump + Push attacks reworked to better matc…
Cutscenes are tricky, especially for an indie, gameplay-first studio like us. We knew early on that we wanted strong narrative moments in Fading Echo . But we also knew we didn’t want to constantly pull players out of the game. So instead of going for traditional cinematic cutscenes, we chose a different path. Here’s how and why. Our Graphic Novel DNA Visually, Fading Echo lives somewhere betwe…
Hey Legends, We just dropped three new languages into Fading Echo! Full text + subtitles support for: · German · French · Spanish 🔧 Fixes · Fixed a bug where the camera could get stuck in the Bastion . 🐛 Known issues Language / localization · You currently need to launch the tutorial to change languages . · Not all status effects are translated after changing language. · Aetherfact panel “Clo…
Hey Legends, If you played Fading Echo back in alpha: welcome home. 💧 Same core idea (save the world by aggressively splashing things). New slice of the game. More stuff to melt. 👉 Play the demo on Steam WELCOME (BACK) TO THE VOLCANO SOURCE 🌋 We’re turning up the heat with a demo set in the first Volcano Source . Deep in the heart of an ancient forge, One is chasing the first Ætheric source…
The One Where The Team Nails Production Previously on the New Tales devblog... So now that we’ve covered the prototype and pre-production, it’s time to talk Production! Okay so now we know what we want to do, so let’s do it? Not necessarily that simple. We need to come up with a comprehensive roadmap that allows us to see how much time it should take to make our game, with the correct order of…
Ho ho ho, Legends! 🎅 The Maze has opened once again — and this time, it’s delivering an early holiday surprise. That’s right: the Fading Echo Closed Alpha is officially back online starting today , and we couldn’t be happier to invite you in for another round of fluid-bending chaos, exploration, and discoveries. Whether you played during the first playtest or you’ve just joined the community,…
The One Where The Team Starts Pre-Production Just like building a car or a house (I assume…) it’s important to ensure there is a good foundation before starting production. Different industries use different names for this, but within games we call this Pre-Production. An important component of a successful pre-production is to know to answer questions without finishing features. It’s not about…
Hey Legends! Since the reveal, there’s one thing you’ve talked about a lot : the soundscape of Fading Echo . So today, we’re pulling back the curtain on the person shaping all those eerie vibes and soaring themes: our deer composer, Maxwell Sterling . In a game where atmosphere and emotion do a lot of the heavy lifting, music had to be more than just background noise: we tried to make it a core…
The One Where The Team Makes A Prototype As I sit here feeling bad about being a week late on delivering a devblog… I realised, why not share WHY I’m a week late? A bit of an explanation but also maybe a bit of healing for myself :D Currently, the team is working extremely hard to deliver the Alpha version of our game – For us, this means the entire game is playable from beginning to end. We kn…
Hey Legends! We know it’s been a couple of weeks since our last update. As you can suspect, we’ve been busy planning the next steps following the end of the Closed Alpha Playtest. While we’re cooking up what’s next, today we’re pulling back the curtain on one of the more subtle but visually powerful, aspects of Fading Echo: the hair of our main character. Getting it to feel right took a mix of…
Hey Legends! We're back! For this devlog, we’re doing something a little different, stepping out of the surreal world of Fading Echo, and into the very real one where it all comes to life. Between office moves, broken coffee machines (our true final boss), and epic team lunches powered by an unreasonable amount of butter, this devlog is a small love letter to our daily adventures. You’ll meet s…
