Two years after the initial release of Episode 0, we've gone back and updated the game with new graphics and special effects. You can now enjoy better performance of the game on your computer, cleaner character sprites, and remastered CG illustrations.
We hope you enjoy the changes!
Sincerely,
Jenny and Malcolm
We've launched a Patreon!
Greetings everyone! As we forge ahead with our next project at Woodsy Studio, we're looking for new ways to fund development. You can now follow our development journey and support us on our Patreon!
Funds from Patreon will help us develop our next game, Crimson Spires, a blend of otome romance and horror (hint: there will be vampires). Meanwhile, patrons will see art, screenshots, and game development posts before we post them anywhere else. You can also see weekly posts about our development process and monthly custom content such as supplemental art and short stories.
One way or another, thanks for playing our games and we hope you continue to enjoy our work. Your support encourages and enables us to keep creating!

Kickstarter Launched for Episode 2!
Eager to find out what happens next to Sofya and Heremon? Check out our Kickstarter campaign for the next episode, Echoes of the Fey: The Last Sacrament!
The Last Sacrament will be bigger in scope than anything we’ve made yet. Like Episode 0, we're building the game in UE4. We’re also adding a unique gameplay element in the form of a mini-game called RiftRealms.
RiftRealms is a tabletop game that exists in the world of Echoes of the Fey, and as Sofya you can play with other characters. We thought this would be an interesting way to showcase each character’s personality based on how they treat you as a Dungeon master. It also explores the question: what do people fantasize about in a fantasy world?
You also have several romance options in The Last Sacrament. If you proceed carefully, you can develop a romantic relationship with Katerina, Arkady, Nikolai, or Heremon.
Greetings everyone!
Today we pushed an update that should improve the performance of the game on lower-end systems. The adjustments include:
- Changing a lot of lighting to static
- Altered camera exposure and sprite brightness to adjust to less lighting
- Changing anti-aliasing from TXAA to FXAA, which also sharpens sprite animations
- Adjusting text speed so that when set to maximum, lines fill in immediately
Doing this also forced us to focus on the 64-bit version of the game, so at least for now, the game must be played on 64-bit operating systems. But we hope that these changes will improve the gaming experience for people playing on older hardware.
As always, thanks for playing, and we hope you enjoy!
