Despite this month being jam-packed with video game releases, it’s still delightful to come across games like “Echoes of the End” from Myrkur Games. Developed by a team that grew from just 16 members to 40, this action-adventure title has sparked curiosity following its recent gameplay demonstration.
Instead, keep in mind that this game isn’t as lengthy as an epic like “God of War” or “Ragnarok”. As Halldór Snær Kristjánsson shared with WCCF Tech, the playtime for the storyline is roughly 14 to 15 hours.
In our playtests, the gameplay typically lasts between 14 to 15 hours, which is longer than initially planned. This extended duration can be attributed to the inclusion of ten unique chapters within the game, each featuring its own captivating environment and visual style.
We aimed to create an immersive experience where the game feels like a journey through diverse environments, showcasing various aspects of the world, offering visual appeal as well as novelty. Additionally, each stage will introduce unique gameplay mechanics, so when Ryn and Abram progress in their adventure, they’ll encounter new interactive elements with every level change. This is a commitment we make to our players.
After watching the initial two chapters, viewers will gradually understand that the narrative frequently varies. In our team discussions, we refer to Ryn as a ‘hammer’ and Abram as a ‘screw’. This implies they address problems or situations in unique ways. Throughout the story, we present a diverse array of challenges, which are often connected to the biome being explored and the specific narrative within that biome.
In the initial announcement trailer, Kristjánsson mentions that certain mechanics are hinted at, and throughout each chapter, these mechanics will be introduced and developed further, making them increasingly intricate. Additionally, expect approximately 20 distinct enemies to appear. Of course, there will also be bosses, and they tend to align with the themes of each chapter, so an enemy found in one chapter may not reappear in another.
On August 12th, “Whispers of Twilight” is set to debut on Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC platforms. The narrative revolves around Ryn, who joins forces with adventurer Abram Finley in a quest to rescue her brother. As they traverse the Iceland-inspired landscape of Aema, Ryn employs swordplay and sorcery to vanquish adversaries, while Abram can offer diverse types of assistance.
