RetroCap: False Echo | Wishlist on Steam

False Echo Rotor Ops: OBSCURA machine is a complex encryption device. In order to utilize it properly one must know the exact combination of the three rotors which are placed inside, under the metal cover. Combinations change daily. Let's hope that the enemy is not aware.

When @IndieGameJoe asks for a screenshot, he gets a screenshot! This is The lair of the Cursed Crystal Queen. She launches explosive crystals into the arena. When they explode they give buffs to enemies, and mute the players skills! Her goal was to find our Father, and take his knowledge, but instead, she found us! Take her marrow, and punish the IGNOBLE tyrant!

@RMaternaMusic @IndieGameJoe Feel free mate and thank you for your support. Although Oppressia has approved already glorious works of our @MirkoTopalski, he is on our list of appropriate song composera for Oppressian Empire. But for the future works, sure thing.

@RetroCptn @IndieGameJoe Woah, this looks amazing!! The tone and visual style immediately remind me of classics like Papers, Please and Mind Scanners. I love it! Just wishlisted, this looks fantastic 🙂 Would it be okay if I DM you about a music collaboration for RetroCap: False Echo? Let me know!

Hi indie devs, it's #ScreenshotSaturday - show me your games below! And a reminder that game dev isn't just "make a game." It's late nights, learning 20 jobs, fixing one thing breaking five, panic attacks, wondering if anyone will care. And still showing up anyway. Keep going ❤️

Hmm, Captain's place is occupied...for now. He is under investigation for potential treason but I am sure he will come out clean. Still, if you have experience running Type VII sub with 40+ crew members wothout asking too many questions I will write your name and inform STASEC department 2. They will call you.

@RetroCptn Hahaha, I noticed while checking out your profile that you're doing a great job promoting your game on social media. Make me the captain of the ship — I've always loved pirate hats since I was a kid😁

Interesting games make you question things. Signals. Information. Even your own decisions. Because sometimes the scariest part is not the danger itself… It is not knowing what to trust. ↓ #IndieGames #SciFiGames #NarrativeGames

Your analytical skills are remarkable @IndieCurator . Are you interested in joining Oppressian Naval forces? Unfortunately the previous cryptography officer has had an...accident. We offer regular salary when (if) you get back to shore, comfortable bunks aboard Sub 227 and phenomenal political leadership.

This one caught my attention: False Echo from @RetroCptn is a sci fi narrative experience built around decoding signals, making decisions, and living with the consequences. Also… really liked the profile description 😄 Every signal looks correct. Not all of them are. Wishlist: store.steampowered.com/app/4418080/Fa… #IndieDev #GameDiscovery #SciFiGame

@Grunt2A Gotta use some lines and phrases from it, I have a joker character which would match this just perfectly.

Tonight I am introducing my son to the greatest movie ever made about the United States Navy....

@Van_Havoc You are more than welcome. My motto is: if you spent your time asking question the least I can do is to answer it 😊

@RetroCptn Even better! Thank you so much again for your quick responses. I am very much looking forward to this!

A False Echo: message that doesn't follow the protocol so you have to reject and discard it. Or a true message that is too "true" to be processed further. You take a role of encryption officer. Previous one had an "accident". You are aboard Submarine 227, your job is simple: encode/decode messages, ensure that procedure is followed. Consequences: a whole multitude. That's False Echo, a pixel art narrative cryptography thriller. x.com/RetroCptn/stat… store.steampowered.com/app/4418080/Fa…

@Van_Havoc Thank you very much for your kind words, much appreciated. Yes, I am working on the demo and there will be a release prior to the full game release 😀

@RetroCptn Oh and sorry to ask so many questions but is there going to be a demo at all or is it going to straight release? Thanks so much for being so quick with a response! Again I have to praise the absolute masterpiece that is your UI and pixel art.

@Van_Havoc I know the feeling. Personally I also enjoy taking my time and focusing on details, environment, atmosphere. So I'd like to give that option rather than forcing.

@RetroCptn That's literally the most fantastic news, the reason I can't enjoy some games even though I'd love to is constantly feeling time restraints. I don't mind them occasionally but when the game is built around them and I want to be meticulous it puts me off. Instant wishlist!

Hey, thanks! Our Iron Nest allies are the real deal, they are dominating the land, we are dominating the high seas 😁 Yeah, there are missions which are time sensitive but mostly you can take your time. There is a chamce that difficulty level will determine whether time is a decidong factor or not. I'm aware that many players prefer to take their time and enjoy the game so I will keep that in mind.

@RetroCptn Hi! I adore the pixel art and was just directed to your game from a post about iron nest. I just wanted to ask, will there be a demo available and is this a game where you have a time limit? If so will there be a mode without a time limit? Thanks in advance ^^

@MirkoTopalski Next time I might forget the combination for Obscura...or cable setup. Or take just a bit more time to process. And we shall see what happens.

@RetroCptn Time out!

You have 2 minutes to encode a message. Submarine is damaged, destroyer is still hunting us, crew is running around, trying to fix the sub. XO is waiting. Red alert is on, your actions will determine the fate of the sub and the crew.

@ColorTheBooks Constant danger. And this is not even the toughest situation.

@RetroCptn The pressure is on!!

@GibbonStudios At the beginning things are pretty calm. But there are days where minutes will matter. Destroyer chasing us, just as we thought we are safe he appears again.

@RetroCptn This is looking great. Love the being hunted feeling. Is that something that you get a lot of in this game?

@SynapseNM Thanks! Absolutely, there is something in Das Boot, a true masterpiece of cinematography. Whenever I look at my sub cutting waves I hear that OST and see them on top of the conning tower.

@RetroCptn Wishlisted, while thinking off dasboot and its soundtrack. I am pro Allies but that show was smth

@DocStrangelove2 Zastava M-76 sniper rifle. I smell Insurgency around Presevo or North Macedonia.

@Unseen_Domains Thanks mate! I've tried to integrate it into the game as much as possible.

@RetroCptn The UI is top-notch!

@DfrRter51585 Off to bunk fellow submariner! Tomorrow is the new day!

@RetroCptn Now I just need to figure out which rotor to spin and which cable to plug in... I'll research these tommorow! It is... 23:54 on my side and I wanna sleep Thanks though! I really appreciate it!

@DfrRter51585 He doesn't sleep. Had slept once and some joker drew fake moustache on his face. Since then... But no worries, he is a capable man. He never yells. Talks quite calm and sweet.

@RetroCptn That is the face of a man that has even things no mortal should have seen. Lmao the eyes are making me laugh

@DfrRter51585 Lol, hehe. Not that difficult. Actually check this - these are the steps that you usually take on a mission x.com/RetroCptn/stat…
