- Echoes of Mora is OUT NOW! 🌊 - 21 September 2026
Hey everyone! 👋Echoes of Mora is OUT!After over three years of development, we still can't quite believe we're writing that sentence 🥹🛒 Two versions for sale, so please pick the right oneEchoes of Mora: the PC version, playable with mouse and keyboard or controller (no VR headset needed)Echoes of Mora VR: the PC VR version (which also includes an optional PC flatscreen mode you can switch to at any time)If you don't own a headset, please buy the PC version.

- Final Demo Update before Launch, new Steam page + where we've been 👀🐟 - 17 August 2026
Hey everyone! 👋It's been very quiet here for a while and we're sorry about that! So before we get to the patch notes, we owe you an explanation (and we have some news about how the game will release).📻 Where we've beenAt the end of April, we received a publisher offer. For a team our size that's a pretty big deal, and it's why we pushed the release date back. We wanted to give the process the room it needed. (We're also just three people, all writing our master's thesis right now, so a lot landed on us at once.) That's the reason for the radio silence, not a lack of progress.Sadly, and quite unexpectedly, the publisher deal fell through in the end.But we're not letting it stop us! After a few intense weeks, we can finally say it:Echoes of Mora releases at the end of September 2026Honestly, the extra months gave us something too. We used them to build and polish the parts of the game t…
