P.S.: If you encounter any bugs, feel free to join the official Discord Server linked on the Steampage. And regarding the Japanese translation: It didn't make it in time for the release. We are currently checking it and will unlock it via a beta branch soon in case you want to help us checking for errors. We'll update the game asap.

When you vow to "get outside more" and "be more adventurous" in the new year, hey, Game Pass subscribers will be able to do all that indoors.

Yes, the game is coming along fine. Kickstarter Backers will get an invite very soon for the Beta. But today, we'd like to invite everyone (besides Alpha Backers. You've got access anyways) to give the Gamescom Demo a try.

You have Chained Echoes on your wishlist but don't know if you might enjoy the game? Play the demo to get an idea of how the systems work. You don't have it on your wishlist just yet? Oh my, check the demo and put it on your wishlist!

We'll keep the demo available till mid September so that you have enough time to give it a try. And it contains quite some content already. You'll be able to experience the first two hours of the game. And we'd also love to hear your feedback!
