The Broken Watch
A downloadable game
The Broken Watch is part of the ECCOSYSTEM and acts as an expanded world and character building tool. You must have reached an Endgame scenario with your agent in Project ECCO to start this game. You will continue playing as your agent to develop and expand their character and backstory through The Broken Watch prompts.
Something is wrong. You come to consciousness in an unfamiliar place with nothing but a broken watch on your wrist, a handful of spare change, and a journal scattered with entries.
The last thing you remember is leaving your sixth encounter with The Agency. Or was it your sixth encounter with The Entity?
Flipping through the journal, you see notes scrawled in your hand, though you do not remember making them. The entry for today’s date stands out to you: JUMP. Your body remembers even as your mind does not, and your hand reaches to activate the watch that moves you through time. But your watch is broken. You can only travel to places you have already been... Where, or more accurately, when will you end up?
Traverse through your personal timeline to rediscover who you are and your connections to The Agency and The Entity.

An incredible follow up to the base game that celebrates and dramatically expands on everything I love about the world of Project ECCO. The Broken Watch will bring a new depth beyond what is possible in the base game. The layout and art is striking and I would love to see this in print. Mariko has created something special here.
Elliot!! Thanks so much for the kind review! So honored to be part of the ECCOSYSTEM.
