We’re on Kickstarter with a new game. The response has been unbelievable
In just 3 days, Echoes has been 67% funded. If you haven't yet, meet the Selves. Gather ancient wisdom. Save the future.
You’ve probably noticed that I'm fascinated with archetypes – the common motifs found in myths and fairy tales that reflect recurring patterns and potentials in the human psyche.
By engaging with these archetypes and the wisdom they convey, we're able to awaken and integrate hidden aspects of the psyche in order to let go of destructive patterns, breathe life into our strengths, passions and values, and ultimately become our whole selves.
Now, as storytellers and game designers, my team and I are creating an experience that takes archetypal self-reflection to the ultimate level – an immersive, whimsical journey through a magical world populated by archetypal guides. Let me introduce you to Echoes, which we just recently announced on Kickstarter.
Our community’s response to the announcement has surpassed our expectations. In just 3 days, the campaign has been 67% funded by 370 people and counting. If you want us to develop this game and also receive a discounted lifetime access (ends on Monday July 14th), head over to the campaign page and support us, risk-free.
Echoes – a tale of time travel, magical connections and saving the future
In Echoes, you find yourself among the Selves – the humans left to nurse our planet back to life in the aftermath of the mysterious Collapse and the cataclysmic Split of humanity.
Now, the recovering world whispers its secrets, but are you able to hear them?
Your mission is to track down the Echoes of Earth's ageless wisdom so you can save the future and also reveal the forgotten parts of your own psyche.
Your guide on this journey – the mysterious Quinn – will lead you through the magical environment of the Sanctus, where you'll engage with an individualised series of Jungian archetypes based on Tarot's Major Arcana.
Which of the Heralds you'll meet, and how they'll help you solve the puzzle? Only time will tell.

A sneak peek into Echoes
If you have Betwixt installed, you can play an intro chapter of Echoes here. (If you don’t have Betwixt on your phone, you’ll be directed to download it first, but please know that playing the Echoes sample will be separate to Betwixt and entirely free).
Finally, I leave you with some of the amazing original artwork we’re creating for this game. I haven’t been more excited about anything in a long time. I hope you will be, too.
You can get an Early Bird discount on Echoes below (ends on Monday 14th July) and help us bring the game to life.
I'm one of the ones who pre-ordered already. I just now saw the artwork, and the elephant is amazing!! (I collect elephants.)
This looks awesome I tried the sample chapter, I’m excited to meet all the Archetypes/Heralds. I read tarot so was intrigued when your email landed. I too have backed this project. This is so up my street so thank you for writing it!
