Description

ETCH is a fast top-down roguelike maze-runner. You're a PSI-class Runner, the one unit they can't capture. Slip into a Tracer-held sector, bring its cores online, and take it back before they close in.

Every sector is a new maze, and none of them want you to leave. Four protocols (Surge, Firewall, Lag Spike, Trap Mine) turn the maze against the swarm hunting you. Six Tracer types each hunt differently, and 78 upgrades and 47 modules (12 of them corrupted) mean no two runs build the same Runner.

Underneath the arcade is grief: every Tracer in the maze was one of us, once. Lose the signal, and we send the next. Every run sharpens the one after it.

History

ETCH is the debut title from Conductor Games, built in Godot. Its free demo is live on Steam, itch.io, and GX.Games, and the game demos publicly at Steam Next Fest in October 2026 ahead of a November release.

ETCH is the first chapter of a planned series set in the same universe, the Entanglement Cycle.
