Echoes of the Holler
A Game Concept
What is Echoes of the Holler?
This game concept packet is a personal project of mine, where I’m aiming to create a story revolving around an environmental message with traditional fantasy rpg elements. The main character, Fern, is a goblin rancher who is fed up with her town’s mining company and their new policies that have awoken an ancient magic called “Rot”. The strange magic has infected the wildlife, and is causing the animals, and even some residents, to turn aggressive, and even zombie-like.
It’s up to Fern to find a way to combat this new disease, and also put an end to the evil corporation causing all the destruction. The twist though, is that there’d be no “traditional” fighting in this game, as all the enemies are forest creatures who have unfairly been infected to become savage. Instead, Fern discovers she can cure the Rot with songs learned from “Echo Stones” that can be found throughout the woods.
The following art is all designs I have created so far for this concept, I hope you enjoy!
