Quorum Games Announces Free Fishing Demo; Seeking Competitors and Carefree River Trollers Alike

Dorado, Puerto Rico, 10 July 2025 | Quorum Games is excited to announce a new demo for their upcoming fantasy life sim, Call of Elyndra. Experience one of the game’s key features by fishing for a variety of species that call the waters of Elyndra home. There will be a fishing competition monitored through Discord, where players can compete for bragging rights, digital rewards, and engage in some friendly fishing banter. Call of Elyndra is a 2.5D, top-down RPG that invites players to create their own protagonist, nurture the land, and fight to protect the city of Elyndra.

Gone Fishing

The Village of Elyndra has kindly invited you to their coveted local fishing spot. Here you will discover a wide variety of species, yours to catch if you can! Baiting your hook with worms or shad, you might capture a Common Sunfish, Bass, or Trout. If you’re lucky, you may reel in a Rare Koi or Golden Trout. For a greater challenge, try your luck at catching the Mythical Lanternfish. The game’s demo features three rarity levels for each fish, gradually unlocking each rarity as you catch more fish.
Tap to fine-tune the position, and press and hold your mouse to reel fish in. The dynamic ‘fish band’ moves up and down the reeling meter, simulating the struggling fish. Each catch feels unique, with the size and movement speed changing for each variety of fish you attempt to catch.

A Player Experience As Unique As You  

Call of Elyndra is a top-down adventure game that introduces players to Elyndra, a village threatened by an empire seeking to seize their land. The Elyndirans have entrusted you with a humble abode to call home. Now, you must earn their trust by helping the community in the village’s dire time of need.

Whether you are drawn to peaceful farming or action-packed combat, Call of Elyndra offers two distinct play styles for your liking. Manage your dream estate by planting crops, fishing, raising livestock, and selling goods at the town market to earn gold. Tend to the unique needs of your garden by rotating your crops across four full seasons to maximize your yield. Complete narrative-driven farming quests, and continue to share your contributions with the townspeople to maintain your reputation in the village. Gather resources to earn XP points to spend on farm-focused skill trees. These skills will improve your chances of obtaining higher-quality item drops, such as crops and gems. Additionally, you can enhance livestock breeding, boost your fishing success, and increase the normal growth time of plants. 

Fighting, Exploring, And Friendship  

Chain unique combinations of different fighting styles with your sword and bow while perfecting your timing on dodge rolls. Increase your reputation by undertaking brave and dangerous quests. As you explore various dungeons that feature environmental puzzles, you’ll gradually make your way to the center, where boss battles await. This exploration not only offers valuable loot, but also progresses the main questline narrative forward, uncovering the story behind the threats you face and the world around you. After completing quests, you will earn XP points to spend on a combat-focused skill tree. Improve your swordsmanship and archery skills to increase your attack damage and learn new abilities.  

Visit the town to trade leftover resources for currency or use them for crafting. Become an integral part of the community by completing errands to build relationships with the local villagers. Each of them possesses unique skills that reflect their trades. Increase your affinity points with each villager to unlock special stat bonuses and gradually learn more lore about the world. This is just the tip of the iceberg – there are more villages and people to discover and aid! 

Fishing Demo Features:

• Scenic Views: Feast your eyes on the vibrant beauty of Elyndra’s most coveted local fishing spot. 
• Exotic Species: Cast and collect 6 unique fish species ranging from Common, Rare, and Mythical, using 2 different bait options. 
• Skill-Gated: Players must land 3 catches in a row before Rare species appear, and 5 in a row for Mythical. 
• Clever Fishing Controls: Enjoy intuitive ‘Hold & Tap’ controls: Press and hold to reel in, and tap to fine-tune your fishing position in the dynamic target window. It’s as easy as that! 

Call of Elyndra will launch in early access for PC later this year. Make sure to add Call of Elyndra to your wishlist on Steam. A fishing tournament will take place on the game’s Discord, rewarding the player who catches the largest and rarest fish!

Enter the Dreamscape and Leave A Nightmare

Shanghai, China — July 10, 2025 | The battlefield of Etheria: Restart just got even more tactical. XD Games is thrilled to announce a major new content update, introducing two powerful new animuses — Fuqiu and Nahor — as well as a challenging new PvE mode, Dreamscape, and the best thing? It’s available now.

Elegant yet formidable, Fuqiu joins the fight as an executive vice president from Etheria’s Doki Entertainment. A tactical master of manipulating the battlefield, Fuqiu empowers allies by accelerating their turn meters and triggering serenity — an effect that boosts speed and heals HP when triggered. Her ultimate ability grants shields and buffs to all allies, reinforcing her role as a tactical support linchpin in any team.

Another Animus joining the fray is Nahor, a high-ranking executive justice from EOS. His morals are absolute: no favoritism, no prejudice, only justice. Nahor strips enemies of buffs and applies block and freeze effects, preparing them for devastating finishers, all delivered only to the deserving, of course. With strong utility in both PvP and PvE, he’s a game-changing addition for players seeking stability and disruption in tough encounters.

Players can also dive into Dreamscape, a brand-new PvE mode that invites them to explore shifting mazes using dream keys. Each maze is filled with mysterious portals, unpredictable challenges, and a menacing boss — the mysterious Dream Weaver, who rotates elemental forms daily. The deeper players delve into the maze, the greater their rewards. If they can escape alive!

Looking ahead, competitive players can gear up for the launch of the Etheria World Series (EWS), the game’s first-ever global esports tournament, which kicks off in late July. With exclusive cosmetics, legendary players, and high-stakes competition, the EWS promises to be the ultimate test of tactical prowess in Etheria: Restart.

This content update continues Etheria’s commitment to evolving gameplay and strategic depth. Players can jump in today and experience the most refined version of Etheria yet, with plenty more to come! Newcomers and seasoned players alike can also use the code ETHERIA30D for in-game rewards. So, prepare for battlefield manipulation, a devastating sense of justice, and a dreamscape to truly get lost in today!
