Esoteric Ebb, developed by @chrisbodegard.bsky.social and published by @rawfury.bsky.social, is competing in the Indie Pearls Awards 2026! 🏆 Follow along as our jury explores this year's contestants, and stay tuned for the awards ceremony in February. 🦃🎮

Tried implementing the new Steam Achievement Sets! Neat feature. I'd already designed them these four categories already, so now that just becomes more obvious to the players. Great stuff! (Only available on the Steam client beta, in case you wanna know)

Ebbheads, there's still time to vote for Esoteric Ebb for Best Indie and PC Game of the Year at the Golden Joysticks! GO GO GO FLING APPLES AT THEM IF YOU HAVE TO https://www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards/

Who knew it would be a massive headache to add a dynamic map? But now it's in! At least on the Open Beta localization branch. I also did the BOTW path thing where you can see where you've walked. It's not really needed, but it's fun, so

After a lot of systems architecture bullshit, there is finally language switching in Esoteric Ebb. Only available on the Open Beta Localization Branch for now, but feel free to test it out!

Esoteric Ebb just got nominated for Best Indie AND PC Game of the Year at the Golden Joystick Awards! GO FORTH AND VOTE APPLE BOYS 🍎 https://www.gamesradar.com/goldenjoystickawards/

I was on a panel at the Göteborg Bokmässa with my phone on airplane mode, when this dropped afterwards someone told me 'congrats on the nomination!' and I replied with the most nonchalant, '...What nomination?' Absolutely CRAZY to see! If you like Ebb, GO VOTE!

Ever since Westberg showed me his solution to an 'Esoteric Lightmode' for the artbook, I can't stop working it into everything. I ended up remaking my personal site just to implement it properly. I even FINALLY figured out an efficient way to present all the devlogs in order!

Disk Cleanup time! This week, a fascinating chat with @chrisbodegard.bsky.social. We talked about his love for Paradox grand strategy, and delved into a couple of the key inspirations behind his acclaimed RPG Esoteric Ebb. www.pcgamer.com/gaming-indus...

If this review of Esoteric Ebb feels more like a paid ad that drips with glazing and not an honest take, well, that's because @chrisbodegard.bsky.social did just too good of a job.

Recent Reviews just hit Overwhelmingly Positive! There was a surge of positive reviews during the Summer Sale, which was really fun to see. I still read each one, and it's always fun to see everyone's unique perspective on all the esoteric bullshit. If you left a review- THANKS!

BEHOLD! Our Cleric D20 from @dieharddice.bsky.social in the hands of our great overlord @chrisbodegard.bsky.social ! ITS BEAUUUUTIFUL

Ettir looking like she's ready to kick our butts in this week's #FanArtFriday thanks to the wonderful Robin from our Discord!

I just finished the game and I loved it. Reaffirmed my position that dialogue is the best kind of encounter. And the art, to no one's surprise, is stellar.

Esoteric Ebb artbook in the works! 🔥✨

Used animations from the launch date trailer to update the website. Now it's way more flashy! Absolutely worth the two hours of debugging. Maybe.

not only is Esoteric Ebb now one of my favorite games, but it also showed me Averia Serif Libre, my new favorite font thanks @chrisbodegard.bsky.social!

i helped edit, punch up, and pitch jokes for this game! and this is an extremely reasonable price! please enjoy your very stupid (or, alternatively, very intelligent and also stupid) cleric

Yesterday we held the official launch party for Esoteric Ebb. I'm not usually one to celebrate, but it was absolutely magical to see the team (and as many local friends as we could fit) come together and have an awesome time in honor of the game actually being OUT. THANKS 🐌🙏

i picked up esoteric ebb the other week and am really enjoying it, are there any other big disco elysium-likes i've missed that are this good

Reminder that ESOTERIC EBB is -20% OFF until June 10th! (And also we got a weekend deal, so it's gonna be up on the big sales page carousel too, which is fun)

”Jag kastas rakt in i en fantasyvärld i brytpunkten mellan feodal diktatur och liberal demokrati.” @reptilianbrain.bsky.social spelar Esoteric Ebb och intervjuar skaparen Christoffer Bodegård:

I rolled the dice on Esoteric Ebb as a game outside my usual comfort zone What’s it like? Is it fun? Did I enjoy it? Would I recommend it to you? I hope this review(?) serves as an answer to all the above Let me know if it works 🫡

My interview with @chrisbodegard.bsky.social is live over on TheGamer!

A new episode of Storycraft from @prettygrimgames.bsky.social is now available! We're talking about the voices in our heads.

Inspired by Tolkien, @chrisbodegard.bsky.social included elves that speak #Welsh in @esotericebb.bsky.social. "Shwmae!" is a common greeting for the Vâttar, while a music track is even titled in #Cymraeg. #EsotericEbb #Wales #Cymru
