Echoes (tuxdb.com)

Echoes is a visual novel / point-and-click adventure for PC/Mac/linux.

Story

Follow the clues, question a cast of quirky and intriguing witnesses, and solve a mysterious murder case in the rural American North-West.
Uncover the secrets of the apparently sleepy little town of Greenhearth, where the deeper you dig, the more you risk awakening Eldritch horrors.
Will you crack the case with your sanity intact?

Features

Gorgeous black and white hand-painted illustrations, with a style that evolves with the mood and tone of the story, from the soft gray scale of the first episode to the hard black and white style of episode four, before ending in a technicolor drenched finale.
A mind-bending narrative adventure, with four different endings, that seamlessly takes you from a film noir pastiche to an 80's horror flick.
Find clues in light point-and-click gameplay scenes, then confront persons of interest to uncover the truth.
Meet a cast of quirky and lively characters, from the badass sheriff to the strange car mechanic, the neurotic waitress, the jovial hotel manager and more. Question them, befriend them or betray them to crack the case.

Hey People!

Hows your day been? Weve got some news for you guys, I hope youll like it. This is a short one, sorry about that.

What weve been up to

May has been a slow month for us. We mainly progressed on the writing, so as you can guess, we cant tell you anything about it!

First of all, our collaboration with the Bordeaux Dance Crew (Celines dance school) has taken a step further. We were able to participate in and take some pictures of an Afro dance lesson by Nayoum, which will greatly help us with our vision.

Check out Bordeaux Dance Crew's website for more information:

Highway to Heal

Hey! Our friends at Manufacture 43 have released a demo and a Ulule for their new game, Highway to Heal! Were so happy for them, and its been such a joy to see Nico and their team work together on this game.

You can try their demo here on Steam right now (it's a lot of fun)!https://store.steampowered.com/app/2213710/Highway_to_Heal/

Artwork of the month

Romane Subilleau created this month's artwork during her internship back in 2023. It is one of the very first concept arts that has been produced for our next game (which we will a continuation of our Along the Edge / Across the Grooves series, as the ones with the most keen eyes have probably noticed). It depicts the street entrance one of the recurring places we will get to explore in the new game.
