Metroidvania games are incredibly popular in the gaming community. Plus, some of the best of them came from the indie community! To that end, Akupara Games and Moonlight Kids are ready to drop their twist on the genre this October, when Echo Weaver arrives on PS5, Xbox Series X/S, Switch 2, and PC on October 8th. If you want to try the game right now, there’s a demo available on Steam. If you wish to know more about the game ahead of time, check out this synopsis and trailer:

“Echo Weaver is a knowledge-based metroidvania where time is your only currency and secrets are your only upgrades. As the last of the Weavers — a remnant of a ruined society trapped in a glitching time loop, you’ll explore what remains of Provenance, uncover a deep conspiracy, and piece together the one perfect loop that leads to freedom. Every reset is a chance to go further and every secret unlocked makes you stronger. The demo alone has drawn praise from Rock Paper Shotgun, Kinda Funny Games, and The Indie Informer who called it “a GOTY contender whenever it hits.”  An updated demo is available on Steam.”

High praise indeed! Plus, since it’ll drop in early October, that would put it in contention for “Game of the Year,” should others agree with those statements. Either way, this is one title you might want to wishlist now, so you can enjoy it when it arrives!
