GAME ANNOUNCEMENT: UNCOVER SECRETS BURIED BENEATH THE MOUNTAIN IN 'ECHOS FROM CIUDADELA,' COMING TO STEAM
Solve puzzles to discover the truth of Ciudadela and grant your father's dying wish in this first-person adventure puzzle game.
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 27 Jan. 2026 | Puzzle solvers seeking adventure and drama have a new obsession! Kronos Interactive is proud to announce Echoes From Ciudadela, their debut indie adventure game featuring engaging puzzles and a story laced with secrets. A demo of the game is coming soon to Steam.
A Dying Wish Must Be Fulfilled
Dive into this first-person narrative as Katari, an ambitious adventurer following the trail of his deceased father. After uncovering his father's journal, Katari is led to a sealed mountain known as Ciudadela. Along the way, Katari's journey is obstructed by intricate puzzles inspired by historic inventions. Use your observation, experimentation, and ingenuity to connect these ancient machines and solve the mystery of your father's dying wish.
Puzzles Protecting Centuries Of Civilization
Each puzzle is crafted to challenge your spatial awareness, timing, and experimentation. Utilize Katari's Balearic Sling, a multifunctional tool, to assist you on your adventure. You can aim, charge, and release shots to hit distant targets, break fragile seals, and ricochet projectiles around corners. As your journey progresses, upgrades will expand the sling's capabilities, allowing deeper interaction with the environment and the mountain's forgotten technologies. When puzzles grow more challenging, your father's journal serves as a crucial guide, offering clues and insights. New entries will be revealed with each puzzle you solve, helping you understand more about this lost civilization. If you're feeling stuck, a handy 'hint' feature is available, as well as dialogue prompts to guide you towards your goal.
A Story Sewn With Secrets
Ciudadela has been asleep for centuries. Its artifacts and advanced technologies have remained untouched, waiting for you to uncover what came before–and what follows. Explore ancient relics, awaken forgotten technology, and piece together the history of a civilization that evolved beyond the constraints of time. From sweeping Patagonian vistas to vast sci-fi caverns, Ciudadela invites exploration at every turn. Its underground caverns shift and evolve from level to level, immersing players in echoes of centuries past. Along the way, you'll recover legendary core artifacts forged by history's greatest minds: Archimedes' Drill, Da Vinci's Crossbow, and Galileo's Observation of the Moons. Reactivate long-dormant machines and uncover the secrets buried deep within the mountain.
