Echoes of the Fey: The Last Sacrament 1.0

Echoes of the Fey: The Last Sacrament is a kind of visual novel, RPG, detective mystery and fantasy board game hybrid of a game. It’s still currently in development and this is just an early demo version however you can follow the progress and even donate to the kickstarter campaign here.

The game opens with a rather mysterious but highly polished looking introduction where you play as Sofia Rykov and having read some of the information on the kickstarter page she seems to be a no nonsense detective however in the snippet that we played here she was certainly more like some kind of noble woman who had been transported to a royal palace and although against her mother’s orders ends up bonding with the princess who introduces her to a board game style game except as this is a computer game not a board game it’s 3D and kind of interactively cool although throwing virtual dice is sort of weird as you feel the odds could be stacked against you (although I seemed to have a lot of luck with the dice so it’s irrelevant really). However the board game part is very slow and drawn out which gives you more time playing in the demo but can also get a little bit boring after a while but if you enjoy those kind of fantasy RPG’s this could well be your favorite part of the game.

There’s certainly improvements to be made that could make Echoes of the Fey a little smoother and hopefully some of these issues will be addressed as the game is developed but otherwise it shows a lot of promise and there’s a decent amount of game play in this demo.
