One of the more interesting games shown off so far during the Summer Games Fest is a new game by Panache Digital Games.
Watching the trailer gave me some vibes similar to Indika but then some combat sequences kicked in and it threw my excitement into an even higher gear. Check out the trailer:
If you’re excited like me, then you should know there is currently a 30 minute prologue demo now available on Epic Store and Steam. This standalone narrative teaser, lasting approximately 30 minutes, introduces the world, characters, and core mystery of 1666: Amsterdam.
The game is expected to release in 2027 on Steam early access, and then a console release will follow.
About the game:
Amsterdam, 1666.
A city built on wealth, power, and sheer will, yet shaped by forces it did not forge.
Entities known as the Originals have lived among its people for centuries, granted time, granted power, and the freedom to abuse both. That power is now owed.
Noa Brooklyn was born the Collector, raised by the Zaindaris for a purpose she did not choose.
Aaron, drawn from 1999, now sees the world through the eyes of a cat.This is where the cycle begins.
Before the first Esbat. Before the Collector realizes what awaits her.
The Prologue of 1666: Amsterdam offers a first glimpse into a world shaped by centuries of hidden influence. Step into Noa’s Commencement as she takes on the mantle of the Collector, and begins to understand the role she was born to fulfill.
A choice must be made. A companion will walk beside her.
This is only the beginning.
The game encompasses 3 timelines, 1666, 1999, and present day. Each era revealing new fragments of the truth. In the early game you will choose a companion which will influence the rest of the game. The game structure says that you will uncover secrets where “nothing is as it seems” through generations.
Will you be checking out the demo?
