- Somber Echoes - Base price reduced - 26 March 2026
Hi everyone,We want to share an important update with you and to do it in the most honest way we can.Over the past year (since we released) we’ve been listening, watching and learning from how Somber Echoes has been received.As a small team, every player, every message and every bit of feedback carries a lot of weight for us.With that in mind, we’ve decided to reduce the base price of the game from $24.99 to $14.99.This wasn’t an easy decision, but it felt like the right one. Our goal has always been simple, to have as many people as possible experience the world we’ve created. We believe this new price better reflects that goal and helps the game find a wider audience.To everyone who supported us early on: "Thank you, truly!" You took a chance on us and that means more than we can put into words. We’re committed to continuing to support and improve the game and your trust is something…

- First Big Patch live now! - 24 January 2025
Update to base hover skill. Before, Hover and Hover boost had different ways of activating, but they are now unified. It now activates by holding the jump button while jumping/zapping, instead of having to release and press again (in the case of base hover). - Also does not deactivate by doing a downwards move input. Fixed an issue where you could get stuck inside Radiant surfaces while using supernova and lightstream. Fixed an issue where a certain statue was not saved as found. - If this happened to you, it should be fixed by going back to The Maiden statue to retrigger the cutscene. Solved an issue where the map would sometimes automatically start moving when you open the map. Improved cutscene stability. Currently unsupported languages now default to English. Solved an issue where the aim effect on certain abilities would increase in intensity, resulting in obstructing view. Bug fix…

- Feature reveal: Bow and arrow - 12 December 2024
Previously we have shown a few of the weapons and skills you will make use of in Somber Echoes - the spear as a ranged weapon and lanterns that you can use to traverse the enviroment. Today we want to reveal the bow and arrow - a weapon that extends Adrestias capabilities in battle - espescially during intense moments where you need some crowd control. As you can see in this video - it both has a stasis to "freeze" the enemies and is also able to destroy several at once. It can be a very useful weapon.
