From Press Release:
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 27 May 2026 | Kronos Interactive is excited to reveal that Echoes From Ciudadela, their debut indie narrative puzzle game, is coming to Steam on July 23rd. An updated demo will be available during the upcoming June Steam Next Fest, where players can experience the opening to this emotional adventure.
Uncover Hidden Secrets And Honor Your Father’s Legacy
Dive into this first-person narrative as Katari, an ambitious adventurer following the trail of his deceased father. After uncovering his father’s journal, Katari is led to a sealed mountain known as Ciudadela. In his quest up the mountain, Katari’s journey is obstructed by intricate puzzles inspired by historic inventions. Use your observation skills, experimentation, and ingenuity to connect these ancient machines and solve the mystery of your father’s dying wish.
Puzzles Protecting Centuries Of Civilization
Each puzzle is crafted to challenge your spatial awareness, timing, and creativity. Utilise Katari’s Balearic Sling, a multifunctional tool, to assist throughout your adventure. You can aim, charge, and release shots to hit distant targets, break fragile seals, and ricochet projectiles around corners. As your journey progresses, upgrades will expand the sling’s capabilities, allowing deeper interaction with the environment and the mountain’s forgotten technologies. When puzzles grow more challenging, your father’s journal serves as a crucial guide, offering clues and insights. New entries will be revealed with each puzzle you solve, helping you understand more about this lost civilization. If you’re feeling stuck, a handy ‘hint’ feature is available, as well as dialogue prompts to guide you towards your goal.
