🎲 Echoes in the Deep: a solo experience in the world of Eana!

mai 28, 2025 B.N. 0 Comments




We grew up with Choose Your Own Adventure books/Fighting Fantasy and all the many variations that followed. These classics sparked our passion for storytelling and imaginary worlds.

Echoes in the Deep is our tribute to those beloved books, a new adventure designed to rekindle the nostalgic experience of solo gamebooks, enhanced with the depth of a sandbox solo RPG and the immersion of a visual novel!

 


 

📘 A gamebook that blends a Choose-your-own-adventure with a Solo RPG Mode


You play as Peridot, a thief working in the Free City. Before turning over a new leaf, you have one last score to settle—with the gang leader herself! Alongside your loyal companions—a dwarven warrior, a gnome mage, and a half-elf ranger—you’ll delve into the depths of the largest city in the world of Eana to carry out your revenge!

This gamebook blends two pillars of interactive storytelling to create a truly unique solo experience:

  • - A classic choose-your-own-adventure tale, with a narrative made up of numbered sections and multiple branching paths. You’ll embark on a grand journey where your decisions have lasting consequences. Your reputation will rise or fall depending on your choices, unlocking or closing off parts of the story!

  • - Side quests in solo RPG mode. At several points in the story, you can explore the Free City to recruit new allies or gather valuable resources. Tools and random tables will help you create and narrate these missions with no GM and no pre-written script, just your imagination and creativity.

The gamebook uses a simplified version of the Fateforge/5E OGL ruleset, adapted for solo play. One key feature is your Loyalty score, which significantly affects how other characters respond to you. Some will help, others will turn away, depending on whether your Loyalty is high or low. 


🎮 The Visual Novel : Echoes in the Deep


Each book comes with a Steam key for the Echoes in the Deep visual novel.
 
This video game takes place after the events of the gamebook. You’ll continue Peridot’s journey alongside your companions, exploring a new side of the story. Visit eight iconic locations in the Free City and face a host of new threats…

The visual novel is an optional, standalone experience, but it adds another layer to your adventure and lets you continue the story! 




Like the gamebook, the visual novel uses mechanics from the 5th edition. If you’ve played Fateforge before, you’ll feel right at home! 

As in the gamebook, your Loyalty score matters: your actions and dialogue choices will affect your relationships with your allies. A negative score can block certain dialogue options, so choose wisely! 





Open the gates of the Free City!


Echoes in the Deep is our love letter to the classic gamebooks, a solo experience like no other. Don’t forget to sign up on the Kickstarter page so you don’t miss the launch on June 10 and claim your early bird reward!
