Replies in seconds
Turns now land in about 5 to 10 seconds, down from 30 or more. ECHOES is a brand-new engine, written from scratch: it recalls what matters, judges the risk, rolls the dice and writes your scene in one pass.
And the world finally keeps up with you:
New people and places appear as your story needs them
Every world has its own money, prices and traders
Enemies can yield, flee or be captured, not just fall
Characters who never forget
Every character now keeps their own long-term memory of you, drawn from your whole story. A promise you made on turn 1 can come back to haunt you on turn 132.
The old engine could hold only a few dozen facts per character. ECHOES keeps every moment that matters and searches it by meaning, so the right memory comes back at the right time, however long ago it happened. Characters only know what they saw or were told, and your Game Book shows everything they remember.
Become what you do
Pick enough locks and you'll earn Lockpicking. Keep at it and it grows to four stars; act against it and it fades until it's gone. Big moments can change you at once, like a curse or a reward.
And now your traits tip the dice. A mastered trait can add up to +22 to a roll, and you see exactly which traits helped.
30 dice to collect
Every risky move ends in a full-screen roll of 3D dice, and the story follows the result.
Unlock 30 designs through 23 achievements for playing, rolling, creating and sharing. Roll perfect 99s and 100s for Diamond, share your worlds for Galaxy, play a 250-turn epic for Dragonscale. Your past games count too, so new dice may already be waiting for you.
Your world on one map
The new World Editor puts every character, place, faction and quest on one map. Drag a line between cards to connect them: the key a door needs, the ally you must win over before the finale.
Rewrite anything, from attitudes and stats to starting items and prices. When you're ready, one press checks your story, makes any missing images and publishes your world to Shared Worlds. Players already in your world keep their version when you update it.
Less app, more story
Scene art fills the screen and pictures sit right inside the story. Text appears word by word, every turn shows the day and the time, and the Game Book stays open beside you.
Upload a photo, a sketch or even a toy, and your hero looks like themselves in every scene.
Welcome back
Your old games come with you. Open one and it moves to the new engine with everything intact.
Every mode, every language. RPG, Single Objective, Kingpin and Interactive Story all run on ECHOES, in all 16 languages.
The characters you left behind are waiting, and now they remember what you did.
