Chained Echoes

Hi guys,

there is a game that reminds me of the forum's name. It's called Chained Echoes and I love it <3 If you like pixel art then you should give it a try

Hi Tina!

Thanks so much for the rec! I looked the game up just now, and the pixel graphics are so cute. It's totally a style I adore. I see it just released in December? Their official site still says in development, but based on news and reviews, it looks like it released for all platforms.

My Switch library is kind of sparse, so I wonder if it's worth getting it on the Switch, or go with PC. Which platform do you have the game on?

Hey Yuuka,

I downloaded it for the PS5 and I have to admit that there are a few minor bugs. But it's still fun and it's just cool to play a game with a retro look. By the way, my sister has it for the switch and so far she hasn't had any problems. Maybe the bugs only exist on the PS5?
However, it's more for the elderly rather than children. The story is also very political and sometimes you have to think twice about which country is at war with which etc. And yes it released in December and was produced by Matthias Linda, a German like me :D

Oh that's interesting, at least it seems there are less bugs in the switch version. I may just go with that then.

I saw it was by a solo indie developer! That's really neat.

Yeah, really awesome, isn't it? However, the development of the game was funded by the North Rhine-Westphalia Film and Media Foundation with 80,000 euros.

What I really think is a pity is that there is no drawn artwork. But who knows, maybe it will come.
