With help from as much of the esports industry as we could get our hands on weve made this love-letter to esports culture and how far its come since the early days. Join us on an adventure through the eyes of Chance Betzinger as he makes his journey from average to professional gamer in the worlds FIRST choice-based episodic narrative sitcom game!This light-hearted but mature "coming of age" comedy puts you in the shoes of Chance Betzinger as he lives his life beginning as a senior in high school. Slowly hell discover his skill as a potential professional gamer as he grinds through the hit new game Echo Star. In the meantime hell go on adventures make tough choices and just hang out with his friends.Episode Titles:June: Echo Star Midnight LaunchJuly: Name a More Iconic DuoAugust - June: TBAEcho Star is a deconstructed esports experience. Weve separated macro and micro gameplay for a more simplified slower-paced strategy experience. Take your time constructing your gameplan and base learn to cooperate with (or tilt/get titled by) a simulated partner then go into 1 minute bouts of intense combat. Continue until one side is destroyed or you have completed the objectives.Echo Star is an introductory experience into the esports mindset. Youll learn high strategy and micro skill without stress. The narrative gameplay simulates the grind of climbing through the ranks of an esports title without requiring you commit your entire life to it. But that doesnt mean Echo Star is easy. You will have to think about the moves you make and the strategies you employ or you will fail.Since Elo Hell is a one-of-a-kind game Echo Star will never be supported as a real esport title. We want to build the esports ecosystem not divide it. However Echo Star will have a ranked system in place for those of you looking to flex your competitive spirit; purely for fun and to give you something to do between episodes. Well have some unique features for that coming in the future.This is the true esports experience told by a team of passionate gamers within the community. To make this a truly inclusive "by the esports community for the esports community" game weve also brought in talent from the community such as Nicki Taylor Kiandymundi and Falconshield. Were forming real esports partnerships with teams so you can be a part of your favorite real team in the story. Were consulting and interviewing pro players streamers cosplayers behind the scenes professionals and others from the industry to get their stories and make them part of Elo Hells world.But behind it all we understand what the esports community is at its core - a magical and frustrating mix of fun competition friendship seriousness and a dash of salt. This culture is passionate and diehard but it doesnt take itself quite as seriously as traditional sports. Echo Star is epic and exciting but the world of Elo Hell is rooted in comedy friendship and a "coming of age" story of a kid following this crazy path in life that so many of us have dreamed of.But dont expect this to be your run of the mill story game. Well be throwing a few curveballs to keep you on your toes. Hey - if it were easy all the time we would have called it Elo Heaven.Start climbing scrubs! GLHF ;)
