changedTime Trials!There are now three plinths to find in the demo. Race to reach each one in the fastest time possible from the start of the loop! You can restart your loop right there to get a better time or continue on and explore. Those plinths will be there every loop so you can revisit the challenge at any time.Steam post image

addedTime Trials!Today! That’s right, today is the start of the speedrun competition! Join the Echo Weaver Discord to submit your fastest times for each of the 3 new plinths in #ew-speedrun! Race to find all three! How fast can you get to each one?

changedArt PolishThe art got a bit of a polish run since the last update! Even the first room you spawn in got a massive art overhaul. The environments really stand out and do a much better job at finding betting different and interesting. The old demo had some issues feeling samey in some areas. VFX and SFX were also updated to improve the feel of the game.Steam post image

changedUpdated LevelsSome players of the old demo may notice that routes and rooms have changed. I won’t go too deep into this as that will be a bit spoilery and something you should discover yourself.

addedNew StoryThere are new echo rifts that give even more context to the world of Provenance! Find them throughout the world and learn more about the past and the mysteries of this world.

Time Trials!

There are now three plinths to find in the demo. Race to reach each one in the fastest time possible from the start of the loop!

Discord Speedrun Competition

Today! That’s right, today is the start of the speedrun competition! Join the Echo Weaver Discord to submit your fastest times for each of the 3 new plinths in #ew-speedrun! Race to find all three! How fast can you get to each one?

I will be giving away an Echo Weaver Steam key once Echo Weaver launches to the top times for each plinth. I will also give a couple keys in a drawing for those who participated and didn’t reach the top time. One person can’t win multiple categories.

The competition ends next Monday, June 22 at 9am PST. We will announce our winners shortly after.

Retro Runner Stream

Check out Retro Runner, the Ninja Gaiden World Record Holder, as they play the Echo Weaver demo on Twitch at 11am PST!

Updated Levels

Some players of the old demo may notice that routes and rooms have changed. I won’t go too deep into this as that will be a bit spoilery and something you should discover yourself.

New Story

There are new echo rifts that give even more context to the world of Provenance! Find them throughout the world and learn more about the past and the mysteries of this world.

Be sure to check out the Echo Weaver demo and if you enjoy it, please give us a wishlist and share it with a friend!
