Echoes of the Unread is a new NES adventure title heading to Kickstarter early next year. The game is currently in development by Clever Cat Games and will be published by Mega Cat Studios and Video Game Sage. The game is inspired by the classic 8-Bit adventure titles of yesteryear and will be available on physical carts. As with other Mega Cat Studios releases, we assume this will also be available as a downloadable ROM and maybe even make its way to modern consoles and PC.

The game centres on Rhapsody, a young girl who, after falling asleep while studying for exams, awakens to find she’s been trapped in the library by the magician Odele, who is angry and alone because her book never gets checked out from the library. The bitter magician schemes to obtain a magic quill from the library that can change her book and set her free. However, Odele’s freedom comes with a price, as doing so will trap Rhapsody within the Unread Book for all eternity.
