Echoes of the Lost City

Two weeks ago the earth shifted outside a small town, slightly left of nowhere. It revealed the ruins of a forgotten city. People flocked to the ruins, eager to learn about the newly uncovered polis. Rumors flit about, that this could be a fabled city, thought by many to be nothing more than myth.

Echoes of the Lost City is a game about two people - the CHRONICLER, a resident of the Lost City before its fall, who kept a record of their life and the goings on of their city, and the RESEARCHER hundreds of years in the future trying to uncover the truths about the Lost City through the Chroniclers' records. Together, players will label a dig site map and tell the story of the Lost City and its fall through the ancient accounts of the Chronicler and information found and interpreted by the Researcher.

Played asynchronously between two people, Echoes of the Lost City is played by choosing locations on the dig site map and the CHRONICLER writing chronicle entries based in those locations. Then, the ravages of time will take effect on the chronicle and it is up to the RESEARCHER to decipher the information that has otherwise been lost to time. 

Will you be able to uncover the truth about the lost city? Or will it remain a myth forever?

It is up to you.
