About This Game

🛠️ Echoes of the Anvil

Echoes of the Anvil is an indie simulation and management game focused on the life of Orren, a blacksmith exiled for refusing to forge a weapon capable of controlling the will of men.

Far from his homeland and the Empire that fuels a hundred-year war, Orren arrives at a small town scarred by conflict. There, he must start over: build his home, establish his workshop, and decide what kind of legacy each strike of the hammer will leave behind.

You are not a hero.
You are the one who forges the tools, the weapons… and the consequences.

🔨 A daily cycle where every choice matters

Time advances day by day:

• Each day starts at 6:00 AM and ends at midnight

• Sleeping early grants bonuses for the next day

• Ignoring rest comes with real penalties

Every action consumes time: chopping wood, mining stone, smelting ore, forging tools, or constructing buildings. Managing your day is just as important as managing your resources.

⛏️ Gather, process, and forge

• Chop trees and mine deeper and deeper underground

• Smelt raw materials into usable ingots

• Forge tools and weapons at the anvil

• Upgrade your equipment to access higher-tier resources

Inventory weight affects movement speed, forcing meaningful decisions about what to carry and what to discard.

🏗️ Build and sustain the settlement

• Construct key buildings such as the smelter, market, and quest board

• Sell resources and trade to maintain a stable economy

• Pay daily taxes demanded by the Empire… or face severe consequences

Fail to keep your finances afloat, and the Empire will reclaim the land.

⚖️ Choose your path

Through commissions and requests, Orren must make moral choices:

• Help the people, gaining long-term benefits and positive karma

• Work for the Empire, earning large sums at the cost of morale

• Or attempt to remain neutral

Your decisions influence:

• Character attributes

• Available missions

• Story progression

• And the ending you will reach

🗿 Remember the fallen

Build the Museum of the Fallen, a unique structure dedicated to honoring forgotten heroes.
Each statue requires significant resources and grants permanent bonuses. Completing the museum unlocks one of the game’s most meaningful endings.

🏰 A calm, thoughtful experience

• Single-player

• Progression based on decisions, not reflexes

• A melancholic medieval atmosphere

Echoes of the Anvil is not about saving the world.
It is about deciding what to build after you’ve helped destroy it.
