Just done my first playthrough of this. It was absolutely brilliant. 

my agent ended up abandoning the agency and helping the entities; who are simply creatures who keep timelines stable, and who exploited by the agency.

Absolutely loved this and spent a couple sessions to do the whole playthrough, but it was super engaging the entire time. 

Just completed a playthrough of this game. Highlights in the storyline I wrote include: a subplot about an enemy of the Agency that my agent unknowingly had a hand in creating, Stonehenge getting obliterated in a Summer Solstice ritual, trying (and failing) to prevent a murder, and my agent deliberately forcing her way to the ending (which I can tell you it is glorious)

Though I admit I probably made an error with the first entry because I didn't realise the day coincided with a certain date of significance, which would've made the starting prompt a lot harder if I followed it as it is. 

Still, I can't praise this game enough if I tried. The concept of time travelling by bouncing around different dates on a planner is such a novel idea. The only downside is that it is ridiculously addictive and requires multiple tools for generating prompts (you'll need both playing cards and tarot cards, whereas in most other games it's either), though this also lends itself to a diverse array of compelling ideas at a level I haven't seen in any other journalling game.

Finished my first session of the game, and I loved every minute of it!

just played my first session and i loved it so much! it's truly the most immersive solo rpg i've ever played, it's perfectly crafted.

Hands down the best solo journaling rpg out there! I've tried a bunch of solo rpgs and this is the first one to stick. It has the perfect balance of railroading with limited writing space in the planner contrasted with creative freedom from the prompts and theme. Definitely a favourite!

This OST is baller af. My playthrough's been pretty intense so far, and these new jams are going to put a new ceiling on it.

Hey Elliot, I am really intrigued to try this game out! Really inspired design. I'm a little confused going into my first playthrough. What exactly is the flow of play supposed to look like at first? I've rolled a few times using the Watch, jumped around the calendar and been given the same prompt as few times without much direction on what to do next. Do I just keep rolling until I discover a new device to open the game up some more?

Excited to check this out! any community copies coming our way?

Hi Elliot, I am REALLY enjoying this game. Only recently this year got into solo RPG with Ironsworn Starforged primarily, but I was intrigued by ECCO so picked it up. WOW! I'm thoroughly enjoying this style. i got a large daily planner format (8.5x11) and find writing over 2-3 days fits my style so I can really detail the story. I had no idea where to start so I used Mythic GM tables to get me started on themes, and go back to those when I need a new twist or more details. The time travel mechanic is really interesting and the more devices I uncover, the crazier the story gets BUT I've been able to log my time travel "jumps" on the side so I can maybe tie it all into a short story or something. It's just a joy to write, uninhibited and see the story that falls out of my head. Lovely game and neat mechanics to guide and twist things. Please do more, either an extension of this game or a completely new one. This is really well done!

Hi, I never got the code for my digital copy from the crowdfunding. Can you send me one?

Thank you to the dev for a truly engaging, tightly crafted, and consistently delightful experience from start to finish. I'm really hoping to do a video read through of my play to share the experience. I loved knowing what I was shooting for to end the story, combined with the suite of tools that surprised me in awesome way. The device mechanic I think really sings, and I loved looking for reasons my agent would pic different devices based on the last prompt. All in all I'd recommend it to anyone looking for a rewarding creative experience with a lot of care put into the prompts and layout. 

If I had one suggestion I think that a larger flow of play/example of play could be super helpful. I found a rhythm but was a little "do I just pick a device?" when I started and I've found them super helpful in other games.

I'm interested in playing, but I don't know if a physical planner will personally work for me, given my sloppy handwriting and other space-related issues. It won't absolutely kill the experience if I use like, a Google doc or something, will it?

No way! I saw this on tiktok and have been wanting to play ever since! 

Thank you very  much for sharing so many community copies. I really appreciate it.

This is the most unique solo TTRPG I have ever come across. 

Between the premise of the story, the setting, the action resolution procedures, and how you document your game, it manages to create an experience that I have never come across in the solo game space. Despite this, it's easy to understand and play. 

The game itself has a beautiful minimalistic layout, using only three colours throughout, amazing and evocative artwork, and detailed explanations of each system used. 

Playing the game is extremely immersive and a lot of fun. No two playthroughs will be the same. 

If you're looking for a unique solo experience or just want to pass the time between other games, I can't reccomend this game enough. Do yourself a favour and but this game. I doubt you'll regret it. 

I'll definately be looking out for further games by this author.

Edit: I also made a post in r/Solo_Roleplaying reccomending pepole come check it out :) Thanks for the great game!

I'm so excited for this! I've ordered a vintage planner from 1983 to use for this game and can't wait for it to arrive.

This is the best solo RPG I've ever played and one of the coolest looking TTRPGs I've ever seen. The art is awesome and the whole game is built towards helping you make really cool stories. 

The first time I heard you played this game in the pages of a day planner I was absolutely sold and the experience of playing is exactly as cool as I hoped. I've been carrying around my planner for weeks (as a beta tester) doing a few prompts a day and it's been such a fun journey. 

Mark my words: Soon this game will be listed alongside Anamnesis, The Wretched, and Thousand Year-Old Vampire. It's that good.
