Playstation 4-exklusiva Rime från Tequila Works pitchades ursprungligen för Microsoft som en exklusiv titel för Xbox Live och Windows 8. Detta enligt dokument som VGleaks lagt vantarna på.
Dåvarande titeln var Echoes of Siren och Tequila Works beskrev spelet som ett isometriskt RPG i tredjeperson, med "great deal of exploration, crafting, survival and hero defence." Studion jämförde det med Orcs Must Die! Tequila Works behövde drygt tre miljoner kronor för att kunna utveckla spelet men Microsoft avböjde.
Såhär beskrev studion spelet i en mening: "Gauntlet meets Minecraft meets Jason and the Argonauts". Pitchen fortsätter: "As the darkest legends go, there is a far-off island where evil spirits inhabit and they are able to terrify the most determined and brave heart. It is now as Ecos; the damned island.
"Not always it was this. At another time a great civilization was developed in it. Their inhabitants bloomed until becoming a lighthouse in the dark. History became legend. Legend became myth. Many looked for the island and its secrets. Now, their bones and empty fortresses remain as a reminder of their imprudence."
