Esoteric Ebb News

I am very happy to announce that Esoteric Ebb is the proud sponsor of Lost Oddyssey: Godfall!

It's one of those cool TTRPG actual plays! In support of Extra Life for Kids, with a neat immersive twist, featuring a bunch of cool people: Reggie Watts, Felicia Day, Bill Rehor, Deborah Ann Woll, Brandon Routh, and Matthew Mercer!

[h2]Taking Down the Demo[/h2]
I should also mention that I'm taking down the demo on April 14th at 18:00 CET, this Monday! Which makes this the final weekend (for a while at least) to try out Esoteric Ebb!



The response to the demo has been absolutely amazing. Since the launch on February 27th, we've had 18 000 downloads (actually over 20k now, but I can't update the image above, so just imagine it says 20k), with over 12 000 hours played! I'm blown away by the response, thank you all very, very much for playing!

I can't wait to show you what we have in store.

Hey, Christoffer Bodegård here!

This hotfix took a bit longer, mainly because I wanted to examine some errors properly. Big thank you to everyone reporting bugs on the Discord and the Steam discussions- it really helps a lot.

• Some intense Dialog UI optimization. This should stabilize framerate in long dialogs, and make animations smoother in general.
  
• The quality settings now no longer reset whenever you open the settings.
  
• Exhaustion now properly updates as you load a save.
  
• The Seagull dialog will now react properly if you looted the Plume of Righteousness before attempting to pet the bird.
  
• The PPG Documents will now no longer be stuck, invisibly, in your inventory after returning them to Alfoz.
  
• In certain cases, items would despawn upon loading a save file. This should now be corrected.
  
• Fixed the instances of the mysterious elf magically disappearing if you take her esoteric rock.
  
• If you somehow manage to successfully punch 'The Duck', after failing to have a conversation about masculinity, you now won't get stuck in the encounter. Also, made the combat music actually play here.
  

Hey, Christoffer Bodegård here!

Another quick hotfix! Turns out there was a very interesting error that could occur if you played with a very specific set of ability score combos.

• Fixed a freeze that happened after the intro, if you made a Cleric with low DEX and somewhat high INT.
  

Hey, Christoffer Bodegård here!

Thank you to everyone playing the demo! And especially thank you for the reported bugs: I've pushed a quick hotfix for some of the more pressing ones.

• Fixed a save game bug that set all stats to 6 when loading from the menu.
  
• Fixed a bug where pressing escape during a cutscene caused the player to get stuck in the sleeping animation.
  
• Save games were labelled as currentDay + 1, instead of just currentDay. Fixed.
  
• The Cleric started with an apple, instead of starting with no apple. The Cleric will have to work for his apples.
  
• Various minor UI bug fixes
  
• Various minor save system bug fixes
  

Waking up in a morgue in the updated demo for Disco Elysium-like RPG Esoteric Ebb, the first thing I did was check out the other body lying in there with me. It's hard to tell what's a brand new interaction compared to my run through Esoteric Ebb's original demo versus pre-existing stuff uncovered by a fresh character build⁠—I went all in on Intelligence and Wisdom this time...
