Press release:
Buenos Aires, Argentina, 23 July 2026 | Kronos Interactive is excited to announce that Echoes From Ciudadela, their debut indie narrative puzzle game, is out now on Steam. Experience the emotional journey of a son coming to terms with his father’s death, and uncovering the secrets of his people’s past.

Uncover Hidden Secrets And Honor Your Father’s Legacy
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. In his quest up the mountain, Katari’s journey is obstructed by intricate puzzles inspired by historic inventions. Use your observation skills, 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 creativity. Utilise Katari’s Balearic Sling, a multifunctional tool, to assist throughout 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
The Mountain of 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, Echoes From 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.

Gameplay Features:
