EbiTapes

EbiTapes is an adventure game in which the player sets out to save the Annual City Festival. The game is set across a series of small locations within a city, and the player is joined by Zongy, a cat companion described as snarky. As the player explores, they meet the city’s residents and uncover its secrets. The cast includes characters who ask for help and others who travel alongside the player for a time.

The main tool is a sound recorder. Players use it to capture sounds found throughout the world and play them back in specific places to solve puzzles. The same device is also used to make music, with recorded sounds combined into mixtapes. Tasks mentioned in the source material include dancing with cows, searching for lost slippers and repairing friendships. Players also perform small concerts for local characters, with the aim of keeping the audience entertained while listening to their tapes.

The developer states that no musical knowledge is required to play, and that there are no mistakes in the music-making system, only loops. The world is fully handcrafted and was illustrated by an award-winning illustrator. The game is described as suitable for all ages.
