'Esoteric Ebb' Release Date Set For Next Week, Playable Demo Available - Screens & Trailer

by Rainier on Feb. 25, 2026 @ 11:57 a.m. PST

Esoteric Ebb is an isometric, Disco-inspired TTRPG-turned-CRPG, featuring deep, branching dialogue and staggering player choice, in a richly imagined Arcanepunk fantasy world.

Unravel a political conspiracy with your goblin sidekick. Roll dice in tense encounters. Become a cleric of legends or completely ruin the campaign.

You are The Cleric, an expert in esoteric events, and a glorified government goon. Inspired by classic CRPG games, Esoteric Ebb features deep and branching dialogs with a staggering amount of choices.

Create the world’s worst cleric. Take on the city through tense TTRPG dice rolls. Struggle to maintain control with your Stats chiming in at every moment. Let the voices guide you into insane encounters and hit that natural 20 right when you need it. Become the most interesting player at the table and completely ruin your DM’s day.

Don’t forget the most important question: What are you voting in the election?


Swedish indie publisher Raw Fury and developer Christoffer Bodegård announced that Esoteric Ebb will launch on March 3 for PC.

Interested fans can check out a playable demo on Steam.

IN THIS DEMO

  • Play with pre-set builds, or customize your own cleric
  • Explore the full first day - deal with political strife above or delve into the dungeon below.
  • Wield mighty spells in dialogs, from Charm Person to Speak with Animals.
  • Re-play to experience all dialogue options and dice roll outcomes
  • Once you're done - bring your save file to launch!

Key Features:

  • MAKE CHOICES THAT WILL COME BACK TO BITE YOU. Shifting alliances! Risky dungeoneering! Complete open-ended quests, low and high-stakes alike, set in the streets, towers, and dark tunnels of Norvik. Become the city’s savior, its demise, or bumble your way into absolute power.
  • TRUST THE DICE. Let chance guide you! Roll to wrestle dwarves, steal anything in sight, or to keep yourself from looking like a complete fool. But remember, in true TTRPG fashion, failure can often be way more interesting.
  • IT'S ALL IN YOUR HEAD. Debate yourself! Each Ability Stat has a conflicting viewpoint and loves to interrupt important conversations. No matter whose side you fall on, you'll complete quests in wonderfully ridiculous ways.
  • WIELD REALITY-SHAPING MAGIC. Use The Cleric’s power for unique narrative choices. Control minds for fun and profit. Detect secrets in the tunnels below or in the thoughts of your enemies. Speak with anyone, living or dead, just to see how they insult you.
  • TURN-BASED ENCOUNTERS. Clerics in Norvik are taught to use violence as a last resort. When the need does arise, a roll of the dice determines life or death. But you always have a bizarre solution to any problem, don’t you?
  • THE QUESTING TREE. Your quest log, skill tree, and mind map all at once. Each Quest Branch can take root in your mind and alter The Cleric’s playstyle through game-changing feats.

Esoteric Ebb is coming to PC (Steam) on March 3, 2026.
