Pale Echoes JRPG Puzzler Coming To Steam

DegiGames in association with Wyrmling Productions is proud to announce Pale Echoes, coming to Steam on Dec 10, 2015 for Windows OS. Pale Echoes takes standard JRPG combat and turns it sideways, creating a non-random puzzle based combat system and setting it in a completely dead world. The challenges the two sole survivors face consist of the possible restoration of life and learning the truth of the terrible tragedy that brought them there.

The world has died. Into this dead world enters a magical being named Spinel and a human named Schorl, the last two survivors in the lifeless wasteland. They begin a lifelong journey to understand what happened and whether the damage can be reversed.

In Pale Echoes, the world is split into two parts: the current, dead, world, and a recreation of the past just before the cataclysm. Travel back and forth between these two worlds, encounter memories of the people who once lived there, and begin to restore life to the land. While most of the echoes of the past that you meet are harmless to the living, the stronger ones pose a real danger. Combat in Echoes is done by collecting powerful personalities and using them to fight in your place. Each memory has its own strengths and situations in which they are best employed, creating a turn based puzzle combat system where victory relies on using their various skills at the right moments.

Can you return a dead world to life? The search for meaning beyond death itself awaits in Pale Echoes. Discover more on the Steam Store page at: http://store.steampowered.com/app/377190.

John Breeden II
As a journalist John has covered everything from rural town meetings to the U.S. Congress and even done time as a crime reporter and photographer.|His first venture into writing about the game industry came in the form of a computer column called "On the Chip Side," which grew to have over 1 million circulation and was published in newspapers in several states. From there he did several "ask the computer guy" columns in magazines such as Up Front! in New Mexico and Who Cares? in Washington D.C. When the Internet started to become popular, he began writing guided Web tours for the newly launched Washington Post online section as well as reviews for the weekend section of the paper, something he still does from time to time. His experience in trade publications came as a writer and reviewer for Government Computer News. As the editor of GiN, he demands strict editorial standards from all the writers and reviewers. Breeden feels the industry needs a weekly, reliable trade publication covering the games industry and works tirelessly to accomplish that goal.
