OCCHIO by PabloAbraham
"Do you feel it? The forest breathes, the fields whisper. Something is watching... waiting. Every step brings you closer to the unknown, and you're not alone."
They trust you.
The group follows you, believing in riches— gold, relics, treasures… lost to time. But you know, don’t you? There’s something else here. An ancient call, a secret buried deep in the swamp, the forest, the ruins…
You’re here for a reason:
- "A voice guiding you, a shadow following, something reading every word before it’s even written."
The question is:
Will you uncover what’s hidden, or have you always known the truth? With an eerie atmosphere and unfolding mystery, Occhio invites you to explore a world where nothing is as it seems. Step carefully. You’re being watched.

Sadly, I couldn't understand how the game even worked totally. I really wanna play this more, is it intended for the player to guess and learn how things are working?
Cool atmosphere!
I wanted the hex map to play a larger part in the game-- it seemed like it only affected the flavor text in the "advance" narrative sections. Briefly I assumed maybe each area had some loot and you were incentivized to scour them or move faster to get to a goal, but I couldn't find any indication that one direction was better than another. And for challenges, it seemed like it was always best to roll with every explorer, as they had no stats individually.
A little more time adding player decisions in on the encounters, and in the strategy of utilizing their explorers, and this could be a full game. Very impressive.
I did fail to see how this fits the theme at all though. I guess the explorers look kinda tiny, but that's a bit of a stretch.
Taht's a great demo guys !
