Echo of the Wilds

Echo of the Wilds is a distinctive survival adventure that takes a quieter and more thoughtful approach than many games in the genre. Developed by caiys and published by caiysware, it places players in a mysterious wilderness where survival is only one part of a much larger journey. Rather than focusing on combat-heavy encounters or large-scale base building, the game emphasizes exploration, self-reliance, and...

Had a bug happen. Posted to the forums. Two hours later developer replies that he fixed it and it should be fine now. Two. Hours.

I wanted very much to like Echo of the Wilds. You can expect to die more than once, it seems, as you figure out the ropes of the game.

I have to admit, this game has largely exceeded my expectations, and this was just in the first couple of hours. I was ready to quickly label it as one of the many wannabe-artsy games that focus on a (sometimes cryptic) story and have little-to-no thought about the actual gameplay, a genre that has become so popular lately, but even though it's a little pretentious in its use of words, it is definitely way more than...

Echo of the Wilds is a very sedate experience. If you enjoy such games, it's well worth it. Additionally, the developer fixed the bug I reported within hours. Judging by the discussions, the dev is very responsive and helpful.

I Reccomend the 8.00$ To get this (Honestly its very generous for a game this good) Pros: *Bugs get fixed very Quickly (I Mentioned a bug on the fourm and within less than 24 hours it was fixed, talk about awesome devs) *Music- any game without music is really bland and gets boring quick, this game's...
