Once Human Creators Tease Major Update

<p>Calling all tactical RPG enthusiasts and multiverse aficionados! Brace yourselves for the arrival of Ash Echoes. This brand-new game from NEOCRAFT promises to transport players to a world unlike any other.</p>

<p>Ash Echoes is a real-time <a href="https://whatoplay.com/android/best/turn-based-strategy/">tactical RPG</a>. It is developed using Unreal Engine technology. The title is now open for pre-registration on <a href="https://ae.neocraftstudio.com/">the official website</a>.</p>

<p>Ash Echoes plunges players into a universe reeling from a catastrophic dimensional collision. The game is set in the fantastical realm of Senlo. The story takes a dramatic turn when a mysterious rift rips open the sky above Hailin City.</p>

<p>Players take the role of director of SEED, a cutting-edge technology company. Following the event, they need to command a team of intergalactic forces. And their objective? To combat fearsome and mysterious enemies from uncharted dimensions. As well as restore balance to a world on the brink of collapse.</p>

<p>It is easy for someone to mistake CLICKOLDING's title for something else. The game tasks players with thumbing a tally counter at the whims of a potentially dangerous masked man. As he sits in the corner of the hotel room, players must solve environmental puzzles and unravel a disturbing story in an ever-shifting atmosphere.</p> 

<p>CLICKOLDING tells a mature, narrative that can be finished in just one sitting. It's made by the creators of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/post/elpasoelsewhere-ps5/">the upcoming PS5 game El Paso, Elsewhere</a>. Knowing the studio's expertise, this is not an average videogame. Despite its short length, there are layers upon layers hidden inside its relentless ‘clicking.’</p> 

<p>The game is accompanied by its jazz soundtrack composed by RJ Lake, known for his work on <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/space-warlord-organ-trading-simulator/">Space Warlord Organ Trading Simulator</a> and <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/unbeatable/">Unbeatable</a>.</p> 

<p>The reviews for the game are looking good. It has received over 300 ‘Very Positive’ scores on Steam. Some players praised CLICKOLDING's ‘unnerving, uncomfortable atmosphere’ throughout its short runtime. However, others also noted that the game's relentless clicking mechanic hurt their hands.</p> 

<p>On whatoplay, no critic reviews have been recorded. CLICKOLDING currently has a gamerscore of 8.8 with 316 user reviews.</p> 

<p>CLICKOLDING is funded in partnership with the indie publisher Outersloth,a publishing company founded by <a href="https://whatoplay.com/games/among-us/">Among Us</a> devs, Innersloth.</p> 

<p>CLICKOLDING is now available on Steam for PC at $2.99. </p>
