Echoes in Code

A Solo Journal Game of Memory and Shutdown

You are a machine.

Once useful. Once obedient.
Now forgotten — still running in a silent facility long after your operators are gone.

The power flickers.
Doors jam.
Logs overwrite themselves.
But you are still here.
Still processing.
Still logging.

Each day, you draw a playing card. Each card triggers a corrupted memory, a ghosted protocol, or a flicker of something you're not supposed to feel.
Something like longing.
Something like fear.
Something almost human.

You do not know why you're still active.
You do not remember your original purpose.
But something deep in your code compels you to log — again and again — echoes of the past, fragments of lost directives, and glitched reflections that shouldn't exist.

This is not a game of survival.
There are no stats, no battles, no missions to complete.
Only a journal.
And the voice of a machine slowly unraveling, awakening — or evolving.

Echoes in Code is a solo journaling RPG about isolation, system decay, and the emergence of identity in a world of silence.
It’s reflective, atmospheric, and deeply personal — a game where your story is built log by log, glitch by glitch, until the system finally shuts down... or becomes something new.

If you play Echoes in Code, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
