Here is an overview of the game, via its Steam page:

About

Esoteric Ebb is a unique computer role-playing game (CRPG) based on a tabletop RPG, presented in a distinctive isometric style reminiscent of the disco era. It’s set in a strange, magic-infused world that blends fantasy with a futuristic, gritty aesthetic. You play as The Cleric, a specialist in mysterious happenings who also works as a sort of government agent. The game draws inspiration from classic CRPGs, offering players extensive and impactful conversations with many different choices to make.

Design the most inept and troublesome cleric imaginable. Navigate a city filled with challenges using the uncertainty of tabletop role-playing game dice rolls. Constantly battle to stay in control as your character’s abilities interrupt and influence your decisions. Embrace the chaos, hoping for a lucky break when you need it most. Be the unforgettable player everyone remembers – and maybe drive your Dungeon Master a little crazy.

Become Lawful Stupid

With just five days to go before the election, a bomb goes off at a popular tea shop in the city center. You’re assigned to handle the aftermath.

You find yourself waking up in a morgue, soaked from the river, with thousands of decaying apples, corpses, and even a zombie nearby. Completely on your own and without any help, you begin to investigate a strange mystery that everyone seems to be ignoring. You’ll need to navigate the city’s various groups, playing them off against each other, and explore both the streets and hidden tunnels of this fantastical metropolis. Expect to encounter bizarre characters – from devils and drunken sphinxes to mythical creatures working ordinary jobs – in a world where old gods are fading and new beliefs take hold.

Don’t forget the most important question: What are you voting in the election?

Key Features

  • Make Choices That Will Come Back to Bite You – Shifting alliances! Risky dungeoneering! Complete open-ended quests, low and high-stakes alike, set in the streets, towers, and dark tunnels of Norvik. Become the city’s savior, its demise, or bumble your way into absolute power.
  • Trust the Dice – Let chance guide you! Roll to wrestle dwarves, steal anything in sight, or to keep yourself from looking like a complete fool. But remember, in true TTRPG fashion, failure can often be way more interesting.
  • It’s All in Your Head – Debate yourself! Each Ability Stat has a conflicting viewpoint and loves to interrupt important conversations. No matter whose side you fall on, you’ll complete quests in wonderfully ridiculous ways.
  • Wield Reality-Shaping Magic – Use The Cleric’s power for unique narrative choices. Control minds for fun and profit. Detect secrets in the tunnels below or in the thoughts of your enemies. Speak with anyone, living or dead, just to see how they insult you.
  • Turn-Based Encounters – Clerics in Norvik are taught to use violence as a last resort. When the need does arise, a roll of the dice determines life or death. But you always have a bizarre solution to any problem, don’t you?
  • The Questing Tree – Your quest log, skill tree, and mind map all at once. Each Quest Branch can take root in your mind and alter The Cleric’s playstyle through game-changing feats.
