Somber Echoes News

Second Big Patch live now!

Fast Travel update:

Fast travel between Rest Shrines and C.I.R.C.E Chambers in the same district are now linked.
Added a rest shrine near The Grove Shuttle area.

Progression improvements

Fixed some map elements and breakable walls linked to secrets, to help progressing the critical path.
To ensure checkpoints are updated, we added an automatic save when walking past rest shrines.
Added an additional rest shrine in Lower Residence, to smooth out the early section.
Added map icon for Hephaestus’s Workshop.

Supernova grace period

Added a slight grace period when hitting walls. This will help entering Aether Lanterns that are very close to walls.

Some enemy hitboxes were adjusted. Various bug fixes.

First Big Patch live now!

Update to base hover skill. Before, Hover and Hover boost had different ways of activating, but they are now unified. It now activates by holding the jump button while jumping/zapping, instead of having to release and press again (in the case of base hover).
- Also does not deactivate by doing a downwards move input.
Fixed an issue where you could get stuck inside Radiant surfaces while using supernova and lightstream.
Fixed an issue where a certain statue was not saved as found.
- If this happened to you, it should be fixed by going back to The Maiden statue to retrigger the cutscene.
Solved an issue where the map would sometimes automatically start moving when you open the map.
Improved cutscene stability.
Currently unsupported languages now default to English.
Solved an issue where the aim effect on certain abilities would increase in intensity, resulting in obstructing view.
Bug fixes on various enemies.
Improvements for SteamDeck
Tutorial Video support for SteamDeck.

New oil painted key art

We wanted something slightly different when we needed some new key art for Somber Echoes, and were excited when the artist Tuomas Gustafsson took an interest in painting it for us.

Now we are ready and excited to reveal the finished artwork.

And here you can see some photos of the work in progress:

We would like to thank Mr. Gustafsson for his excellent work and we also recommend everyone to visit his website at https://www.tuomasgustafsson.com.

Happy new year everyone!
