Echoes of the Unread reaches the last chapter of its Kickstarter campaign with hopes to tell its magical tale on Nintendo Switch and Steam
Pittsburgh, PA – June 16, 2025 – Time is running out to back Echoes of the Unread, solo developer Matt Tuttle’s upcoming NES adventure that hit its Kickstarter goal in just 24 hours last month. With only 48 hours remaining in its campaign, publisher Mega Cat Studios and Clever Cat Games are closing in on two final stretch goals to bring the game to Nintendo Switch and Steam in early 2026.
As the campaign enters its final stretch, a handful of limited-edition rewards remain up for grabs—including the ultra-exclusive Hidden Book Tier. With just two spots left, this tier offers a treasure trove of rewards that NES collectors won’t want to miss.
The Hidden Book includes everything from the campaign—digital and physical editions, collector’s items, and more—plus two exclusive rewards:
- Your Name in the Credits: Claim a permanent place in the game’s history.
- The Shadow Box Art: A multi-layered, hand-crafted piece that gives the game’s pixel art a striking 3D dimension.
Backers of the Hidden Book tier will also receive the complete collection: the Digital Bundle (ROM, OST, poster, and PDF manual), the Limited Edition laser-engraved NES cartridge, artbook, vinyl LP, journal, bookmark, bookends, pins, and more.
“This is it—our final push together,” said Mega Cat Studios’ Marketing Manager, Jev Reyes, “Every pledge, share, and cheer in these last hours means the world to us. Thank you for believing in Rhapsody’s story and for making this campaign an unforgettable journey. Let’s bring this home!”
An adventure years in the making, Echoes of the Unread will be released for the NES in February of 2026.
