Red Echoes: Berlin is a narrative turn-based strategy game set during Germany's November Revolution of 1918–1919, developed by new studio Morningrise Games. Players join the Spartacist uprising in its final days of World War 1, working to overthrow Kaiser Wilhelm II before the republic takes shape.

Across three chapters, you control three different agitators from distinct backgrounds, moving them around a Berlin map styled after classic Weimar-era graphic design. Each character has unique abilities to deploy against state forces, and you'll cross paths with real historical figures like Karl Liebknecht and Rosa Luxemburg. Multiple endings are on the table, ranging from total defeat to a successful revolution. The game runs around 3–4 hours and is targeting a launch later this year — it already has a Steam page live.

Morningrise Games is a brand-new studio, but its founder has direct roots in Suzerain — Stijn Verstraete, who worked as a 3D artist and writer at Torpor Games from 2021 to 2025. That lineage shows: Red Echoes: Berlin carries the same text-heavy, choice-driven DNA that made Suzerain a cult hit when it quietly launched in 2020. Suzerain cast players as the president of a fictional country navigating political crises, and the formula clearly translates well to revolutionary Berlin.

No firm release date has been announced beyond "later this year". If the Suzerain comparison holds, this is one to watch for fans of politically charged narrative strategy — especially at what will likely be a modest price point.
