RadZib Interactive: crafting immersive worlds, empowering player creativity

Echoes Forge — the editor for story-game creators.

Echoes of the Rozlom — a narrative game that shows the editor in action.

About us

RadZib Interactive — an indie studio from Ukraine, working at the intersection of creator economy and single-player narrative games.

We're building the tools we needed ourselves: an editor that lets story authors create game content without code, and a creator-first marketplace where creators keep full ownership of their work.

Echoes of the Rozlom is our showcase game, built on the same editor. A post-apocalyptic narrative rooted in Ukrainian culture: the steppe, the kharakternyk tradition (Ukrainian warrior-mystics), and the hromada (community as binding force). We're our own first customer.

Our products

RadZib Interactive builds two products in parallel: a creation tool and a game that demonstrates the tool in action.

Echoes Forge — the editor for story-game creators

AA creator-first toolkit that turns story authors into game developers, through visual workflows alone.

Echoes of the Rozlom — narrative game on Echoes Forge

A post-apocalyptic story rooted in Ukrainian culture. Our first full-scale reference project — and our first marketplace customer.

Echoes Forge — the editor for story-game creators

A creator-first toolkit on Unreal Engine 5. Story authors build quests, design characters, shape locations, branch narratives — through visual workflows, without code.

What you can build

Standalone story-game elements that plug into compatible games:
— Quests with branching dialogue, narrative consequence, character interactions.
— Locations with custom environments, atmosphere, lore integration.
— Asset packs: props, items, gear, decorative elements.
— Narrative chapters that extend or remix existing game worlds.

Who it's for

Three core creator profiles we're building for:
— Architects — those who build worlds: locations, factions, maps, lore.
— Storytellers — those who write quests and character arcs.
— Craftsmen — those who create props, items, asset packs.
If you've spent months trying to learn Unreal or Unity for a story you wanted to share — Forge is for you.

How creators earn

A creator-first marketplace built on three principles:
— Creators keep the larger share of every sale.
— Creators keep full ownership of their work.
— A portion of platform revenue funds grants for new creators.

A creator subscription tier unlocks advanced editor features, AI assistant, and analytics. Pricing tiers cover quick content, deep narrative work, and asset packs.

AI assistant

The assistant accelerates routine work: dialogue variations, location description drafts, quest beat suggestions, dialogue tree validation. It speeds up the boring parts so creators focus on the work only they can do.

Where Forge fits

A creator-first marketplace built on three principles:
Unity and Unreal demand months of engine training before a single quest ships. Fortnite Creative and Roblox Studio aim at multiplayer, not story. Modding tools run on free labor. Forge fills the gap: deep enough for serious narrative work, accessible enough for writers and designers without engineering background.

Status

In development; Prototype testing will begin at the end of Phase 0 (Q3 2026).

Echoes of the Rozlom — world and atmosphere

A post-apocalyptic narrative set in a Ukraine that has lived through the Rozlom. The event reshaped landscape, communities, and the rules of how the world holds together. What survives is what people choose to keep alive — through tradition, memory, and the choices they make.

Cultural Foundation

The world is built on a Ukrainian cultural foundation, woven from three threads:
— The steppe — vast, indifferent, ancient. The land that holds memory longer than any structure built on it.
— The kharakternyk (Ukrainian warrior-mystics who walked between worlds in Cossack folklore) — mystical resilience, esoteric knowledge passed through generations.
— The hromada (Ukrainian word for community as binding force) — the bond that holds together against collapse, stronger than what tries to break it.

These shape how players move through the world, who they meet, and which choices carry weight.

Genre & Experience

Single-player narrative game with RPG and exploration elements. Combat exists; the centerpiece sits elsewhere. Player agency emerges from where you go, who you trust, and what you carry forward.

Atmosphere — Crystalline Gothic

The visual language of the project: brutalist architecture, vertical composition, the contrast between stable resonance (cool cyan tones) and dangerous Rozlom-energy (sharper magenta accents). Artistic foundation in Ukrainian post-modern graphic art and dark fantasy traditions.

Technology & Status

Built on Unreal Engine 5. Single-player. In development; prototype begins Phase 0 (Q3 2026), early access follows in Phase 1.
