A downloadable game

The Loom was built to copy life.

It worked—until it forgot how to stop.

You are Vestige, the ninth copy of a hero who fell long ago. Every death gives the Loom another chance to print you again, a little more degraded than before. Your only inheritance is a rack of memory-chips carried across countless failed lives.

ECHOFORM is a short, cinematic, turn-based card battler set in a rain-soaked cyberpunk ruin. Install memory-chips, spend limited CPU cycles, read enemy intents, and decide when to strike, defend, focus, or unleash a devastating charged attack.

Every encounter changes the rules

  • Cut through slimes that divide when killed.
  • Race against Mergers that fuse into larger and stronger forms.
  • Confront the Clone waiting at the Loom's core.

The Loom is always watching. Every third turn, it corrupts one of your memory-chips and fills your hand with unusable data. Adapt before the system overwhelms you and cut the thread before it prints another copy.

Features

  • Three handcrafted tactical encounters with distinct enemy mechanics.
