Like a strange mix of Baldur's Gate 3 and Disco Elysium - delve deep into the City Below and wrestle with ideologies on the streets of Norvik. Become the world's worst cleric, and completely ruin my poor, poor campaign. ESOTERIC EBB - OUT on STEAM now!

“How do you keep track of everything?” In this guest blog, @chrisbodegard breaks down the dialogue systems, Story Variable tracking, and ink-based pipeline behind Esoteric Ebb – a deeply branching, 50-hour, dialog-first CRPG built in Unity. #MadeWithUnity @RawFury

I've read that many people enjoy the following series of events: 1) Attempt to jump down the well 2) Get stopped by Snell 3) Send Snell home for the day while telling him that you, too, are heading to bed 4) Once he's gone, jump down the well 5) Die

Some excellent work going on in the Esoteric Ebb discord.

This is a great series, really fun to see all the production footage and timelapses! Gibbet ally put in SUCH a huge amount of work to nail the artwork. I highly recommend checking it out! This is the expression I have whenever you do something stupid in Ebb by the way

"Good morning, Cleric." Drew an Esoteric Ebb fan-art. Incredible game💕 I absolutely love Visken. I'd visit his lair every day

v1.1.2 is live! Mostly minor fixes, but I ended up discovering a handful of entire scenes that had been unavailable due to tiny mistakes. Those will now be actually available - so now, go fail at pickpocketing Razz in the tavern!

Most dialogs in Esoteric Ebb have a Snell and a non-Snell version. This means a large chunk of the game will automatically be missed on a single playthrough. If you decide to replay Ebb, I recommend going solo for longer if you went for Snell right away, and vice versa.

Here's a behind-the-scenes series about Esoteric Ebb from the studio Gibbet Games! They've done 3D models, textures, environments, animations etc, with beautiful results: youtube.com/watch?v=BWaOuq…

@JacobJanerka Thank you dungeon experience! After that next fest demo, I can't wait to play the full you

@chrisbodegard Great article! I've always wanted to see the more nitty gritty of this stuff, its really inspiring.

I wrote a guest blog for Unity! Mostly it's just a quick overview of what I usually rant about when it comes to my definitions of interactive writing. But I also included some chunks of dialog code to show the wonderful mess I made out of ink! Check it out! 👇

My interview with Esoteric Ebb creator @chrisbodegard is now live on my YouTube channel! Grab the link in the replies!

@chrisbodegard The game is great, recommend it to everyone. Even made this fanart

@The41stPrecinct 🐌👍

Somehow I missed this very cool part of the credits of Esoteric Ebb, what a lovely gesture from an all around lovely dude! @chrisbodegard Thank you!
