As announced last month, the Echoes of the Unread Kickstarter is now available! In fact, the game was fully funded within 24 hours of its Kickstarter debut, which means the game will be released early next year, according to the campaign.
About Echoes of the Unread Kickstarter
Prepare to embark on a magical journey of friendship, imagination, and song as the Kickstarter campaign for Echoes of the Unread, a brand new adventure for the NES, is now live.
Developed by Clever Cat Games and published by Mega Cat Studios, Echoes of the Unread puts players in the shoes of Rhapsody, a young girl who, after falling asleep while studying in the library, awakens to a strange world where the books have come to life and her voice has the power to shape the world around her with song.
To find her way back home, Rhapsody must step into the pages of these tales and explore a variety of imaginative realms where they’ll befriend a cowboy, serenade a mermaid, outsmart a mischievous ghost, and sing mystical melodies to escape the clutches of the wicked magician Odele, who hopes to keep her trapped in the library forever.
To celebrate the Kickstarter’s launch, Mega Cat Studios has released a new trailer for the game. This exciting new footage offers a tantalizing look at the various worlds Rhapsody will explore, Odele’s menacing minions she’ll encounter, and the colorful cast of characters she’ll befriend over the course of her enchanted adventure.
Key Features:
- Sing to solve puzzles, battle foes, and uncover secrets
- Journey through whimsical worlds inspired by book genres
- Unlock magical abilities that will aid you in your quest
- Befriend quirky characters and shape your own story
- Test your skills in a challenging retro mode
Backers can get their hands on a wide selection of enchanted rewards. These range from all-digital bundles featuring the game, art book, OST, and more to the Hidden Book Edition, which comes filled to the brim with a treasure trove of physical goodies, including the Limited Edition CIB game, poster, vinyl soundtrack, art book, shadow box art, decorative bookends, and so much more.
