Echo Land

You inherit a worn-out farm on a hill above the village of Willowmere, and a letter about a stone in the woods that stopped singing thirty years ago. Clear the weeds, plant your first parsnips, make friends, fall in love, fish the rivers, fight your way down the mines and bring the old Guildhall back to life. Take your time: the seasons turn whether you rush or not.

Features

• A full main story, The Echo of Willowmere: twenty chapters in four acts. A great-aunt's letter, a stone in the woods that went silent thirty years ago, a stranger who wants your farm, a village that has forgotten its worst night and a voice from the ridge. Investigations, a night defence of the stone, a vote in the Guildhall, seven choices that change the letters you receive and the ending, and a finale where you decide whether the Echo wakes or rests. Illustrated scenes, and the hero is a man or a woman to match your character.
• A farm that grows with you: till, plant and water 35 crops across four seasons, build coops and barns, raise seven kinds of animals, lay paths and sprinklers, and restore the ruined greenhouse.
• Willowmere and its fourteen villagers with daily schedules, gift tastes, heart events, a mail box, a town board with requests, and a calendar full of festivals.
• Love and family: court someone, marry them, upgrade the farmhouse with a family room and welcome up to two children.
• Fishing with a real minigame: thirty-six fish that depend on place, season, hour and weather (rivers, ponds, lakes and the open sea), plus the Ice Fishing contest.
• Mines and combat: forty-five floors in three zones with hidden ladders, elevators, treasure chests, thirteen monsters, fifteen weapons and three bosses.
• Cooking and crafting: thirty recipes with buffs, a crafting bench, furnaces, kegs, jars, looms, bee houses and a cellar of casks that age your wine to gold.
• The Guildhall: thirty bundles in five rooms, a museum with thirty pieces, a minecart network and a mayor with a big thank-you at the end.
• Every picture drawn in code: a pixel-art look with day and night, weather, shadows and four seasons, a farm that looks different at every hour, and original music for the farm, the village, the night and the mines.
• Driftwood Cove: a beach with a pier, shells and coral that wash up every day, sea fish from day 14, and a herbalist hut in the woods where Juno sells what she gathered.
• Echo Cards: a collectible card game at the Gilded Acorn. Forty-three cards, a ring of four elements, five-round matches where you only see the element of their card, packs from Barnaby and a rare card won from each of the fourteen villagers.
• Hunting, trapping and tailoring: a bow and arrows, deer, boar, foxes and wolves in Whisperwood and Highcairn Ridge, snares and fish pots, a smoker, and hats, coats and boots stitched from what you bring home.
• Carpentry and your own home: build furniture, paint the house and the cottages in the village, lay floors and wallpaper, add a stable, a workshop and a storehouse, and ride your own horse.
• Twenty-eight professions, sixty achievements and a gamepad mode (Steam Deck friendly), plus an in-game guidebook and an optional walkthrough helper that points to the next thing to do.
• Save slots: five save slots with autosave when you sleep, and an options screen for volume and display.
