Exciting Esoteric Events
It's that time again. Time for an Esoteric Update.
I've been hard at work these last couple of weeks working on patches for the demo release (that went rather well, if I'm being honest), checking out the massive amount of feedback you've left me, and of course preparing for the rest of development.
Things are moving. 2024 will be an interesting year for Ebb. Starting off, I'm happy to announce two Steam events coming up!
[h2]Games in Sweden[/h2]
Esoteric Ebb is featured in the Games in Sweden event, presented by Fireshine & Raw Fury! A brand new event, it's set to feature a bunch of amazing games. I want to give a shout-out to some of my local dev-neighbors featured in the event, whose projects you should absolutely check out right now (and wishlist!):
[h2]The Storyteller's Festival[/h2]
Esoteric Ebb is also featured in The Storytellers Festival 2024! Back again this year, on January 29th, the event will showcase a ton of narrative-focused games – which, if I had to guess, would probably be quite interesting to you if you're into Ebb. So check them out! Try out some demos!
[h2]Development Update[/h2]
In the wake of this PC Gamer article (which is very well-written in my humble opinion) it turns out that a lot of other people also enjoyed playing as the world's worst cleric. In the last two weeks, Ebb has more than QUADRUPLED in wishlists and demo downloads. It's even inching closer every day to being in the top 500 wishlisted games on Steam.
So I'm pretty happy with the demo release overall. Thanks to everyone who's played the demo, left feedback on the Steam discussion, checked out the Discord, or just generally sent well-wishes on social media. I keep repeating myself, but I really do mean it when I say that 2024 will be a very interesting year for Esoteric Ebb.

- Fae & Fauna - a gorgeous open-world pet collector RPG. Just look at that trailer! I can highly recommend keeping an eye on it.
- Odinfall - a thrilling viking-rogueish-topdown-shooter! I got the chance to try it last year, and it's a damn good game. Can't wait for it to come out!
