From the team behind The Inheritance of Crimson Manor comes a brand-new nightmare:

Dive into a neon-soaked cyber-city overrun by a biomechanical virus—where every door code, circuit puzzle and back-alley hack can be your last chance to survive.


Explore rain-drenched streets teeming with mech-mutated foes
Outsmart security grids and corrupted A.I.
Solve atmosphere-heavy puzzles that twist your mind as much as your nerves

Adding the game to your wishlist tells Steam to share it with more horror-puzzle fans—and keeps you first in line for demos and dev updates.

The Echoes of Elysium demo will be removed this Monday, so this weekend is your last chance to explore the world, test your skills, and dive into the story before it disappears. If you haven’t tried the demo yet, or want one last run, now’s the time!

We’re currently recruiting playtesters for future builds! If you’re passionate about the project and eager to help guide its evolution - from crafting systems to airship mechanics - we’d love to work with you.

All playtester selection happens exclusively via our Discord, so make sure to join to apply.

The Echoes of Elysium: Airship Builder is now available for free on Steam. This standalone tool lets you fully customize and fine-tune your own airships using the same modular systems that will appear in the full game, giving you complete control over form, function, and design philosophy.

Ships built in the Airship Builder aren’t just prototypes, they’ll carry over into the full game as functional blueprints, ready for launch-day deployment.

Adventurers,

The druid and warlock have both now entered into the beta branch of the game. If you want to try them out the easiest way is to spin up a new custom party however, they will also be found in taverns as well across the land but with taverns it's not a guarantee to find them there.

There is a lot of new content added into the game each having over 16 abilities, and the new summon feature. You can summon as much as you want however every summon will lock out your energy for the remainder of the battle.

This gives a unique approach to how much do you want to invest in energy reserves for the druid or warlock versus other stats.

For the full patch notes on the Druid, Warlock some balance and bug fixes you can check it out here: Patch Notes

Now with these final classes in the world this rounds out one of the last remaining major hurdles in the game and just a lot of polish and additional fleshing out of the world.

Thanks all for your patience and support.

Ver1.0.2 Update!

It's only been two days since the release, but many people are already playing the game. Thank you very much!

We watched gameplay videos and live streams and addressed some issues that caught our attention.

・Expanded hit detection for 💩

・Increased lunch box volume

・Added objects

Hi, it's CatTrigger.

Some of you may have already been notified, since you follow me on itch.io... and I apologize not sending this newsletter out earlier...as I was catching up on some sleep after the O2A2 game jam.

That's right, I made another short game for the O2A2 game jam called PROPHET.

Your village has chosen YOU for this pilgrimage, where you will ascend to Heaven representing them.

Near the end of your travels, you come upon the Great Prophet of the Church.  She will assist you on the ritual...

...but the Prophet may not be who she says she is.

Prophet is a Horror Micro-Game made for the O2A2 Micro-Game Jam that is part Visual Novel & Part Point 'n' Click.

You are a Pilgrim nearing to the end of your Pilgrimage, committed to the final steps of the ritual with the Great Prophet.  Your choices will judge what happens to you and the future of the church.

As with all O2A2 games, this game was created under strict guidelines:

- Only one character "sprite model" visually featured.

- Only one environment

- Only one soundtrack.

- Only one sound effect.

- 1,000 words or less, excluding repeats (Game is exactly 1000 words).  

- Only 10 days from START to COMPLETION.

I've participated in O2A2 for the last 4 years.  PROPHET has been the most ambitious entry for this jam for me.  I hope you enjoy it :).

I got some excellent feedback and appreciate the positive and more constructive comments on the demo so I am working hard to address those issues as well as keep a touch of the charming nostalgic janky-ness these games are known for.

Right now I am full steam ahead on the full game and based on feedback I have some key updates to share.

• Fully reworked to be much less buggy and much more controller-friendly.

• Options for tank controls or modern 3D movement (similar to RE1 Remake), plus D‑pad navigation for menus.

• Melee is faster and more fluid. You can charge attacks for high-damage tactical hits.

• Shooting is upgraded: enemy lock-on, vertical aim, and the option for critical dismemberment—blow off heads, legs, etc.

• Undead foes may get up again, for another go but each can be permanently vanquished—just weigh up if it is worth the ammo.

The full game is much more expansive. The Boggarogga Creek campsite acts as a hub to a number of sub areas. The current areas planned for exploration are...

• Campsite cabins

• The “Boggo” Hotel (pub)

• Shearing Shed

• Church

• Tunnels

• Fisherman’s Lodge

• Main Highway

Plus, expect plenty of obscure Aussie references.

In 2024, I secured funding from Screen Queensland, which has helped upgrade tools and assets—though I’m still keeping my day job for now.

Thanks to this support, I’ve hired a local artist to refresh key artwork and updated the Steam capsule art.

A local musician was also brought aboard: the score is inspired by classic OzSploitation films, with horror vibes that fit the tone perfectly.

Right now, I'm focused on building out the full game. Upcoming updates will bring new screenshots and a trailer to the Steam page—as well as share a bit more as production continues.

Stay tuned for more!

Cheers Cobbers,

Enjoy!!!
