Moonlight Kids, the visionary developers behind the beloved title The Wild at Heart, have just announced the release of the first public demo for their highly anticipated new game, Echo Weaver.

Immerse yourself in the enigmatic and atmospheric world of this mesmerizing time-loop puzzle box Metroidvania platformer. The Time Masters Festival, which honors games that revolve around manipulating time, has begun with the release of the demo on Steam.

About Echo Weaver

In Echo Weaver, players are thrown into a one-of-a-kind MetroidBRAINia adventure where secrets hold the key to advancement and time is your most valuable resource. You must uncover the history of your long-lost civilization and find your place in this revolving door of time as the last Weaver, a survivor of a society that has fallen victim to a time loop.

Discover more intricately designed biomes, aid eccentric survivors, and find critical clues in each new loop. To become an expert looper, you'll need to hone your abilities, discover new paths, gather powerful "echoes," and use time wisely to unlock gates, heal, trade, and more.

Key Features of Echo Weaver

Time as Currency: Consumable resources include the loop itself. You can unlock gates, heal, trade, and do a lot more with it once you extend it by collecting pickups.

Secrets as Gear: You won't find any of the usual unlocks or upgrades here. Within this "metroidbrainia," you are already equipped with all the necessary abilities; the key is to learn how to utilize them to your advantage.

Rich, Quirky Characters: Take part in a story that delves deep into narrative and features a cast of fascinating characters. Investigate how the time loop has impacted your relationships.

Mystery & Discovery: Discover hidden paths through a vibrant, hand-crafted universe. The game takes place in the world of Provenance, which is constantly changing to accommodate new discoveries as the player progresses through the loop.

Echo Weaver's 30-minute demo asks players to use exploration and platforming to solve what at first glance, seems like an easy puzzle. It's an invitation to find hidden secrets, learn new skills, and find shortcuts in a time crunch. Check it out now on Steam while we patiently wait for an official launch date!
