Echo

We build systems that play back

Our medium-term focus is games and interactive software where AI has real agency. We prefer local and private inference where we can ship it.

Tarot & study
In active development

Tarot reading companion

A rich correspondences table and an AI personality for esoteric readings, interpretation help, and personal study. Enhances existing readings and connects seekers with reputable local tarot readers. Local-first on desktop where we can deliver it; frontier inference may appear on some mobile devices early.

Local character engine
Shared universe In active development

Tarot mystery simulation

In a fantasy setting, you play a tarot reader uncovering a mystery. Card-based puzzles use your sight for AI-native NPCs while character simulation runs on the player's hardware. An immersive reading simulation, not a generic puzzle reskin.

Now playable

The Golem Awakens

Open-source platformer and puzzle showcase, built with a 100% local dev workflow as proof of AI-native game development at Tholem.

Kingdom sim
Shared universe Planned · concept

Fantasy kingdom strategy

Same fantasy setting as the tarot mystery simulation. A kingdom-running sim where you are sovereign with indirect control over AI-driven NPCs, building on the local AI systems developed for the tarot reading game.
