In September 2026, recruitment for the "Echo Test" of Melotopia 1907, a Victorian-style simulation management game developed by Misty Hub, is in full swing. Inspired by European architectural aesthetics from the 19th to early 20th centuries, the game invites players to step into this new world constructed by melodies as Administrators, starting from a small Victorian-style district and gradually achieving the revival of the entire land. This "Echo Test" features comprehensive renewals in content and experience, including new main storylines, visual upgrades for characters and buildings, UI and gameplay optimizations, and a new artifact collection system, dedicated to delivering a more immersive and rich simulation management experience. Recruitment for the "Echo Test" is now underway on TapTap, the official website, Xiaohongshu, and Heybox. We welcome all Administrators to obtain test qualifications.
The Land of Glow is a place of hope created by synesthetic musicians, where every building is born from carefully composed melodies and the performances of inspired musicians. However, the advent of catastrophe turned the entire world into ruins. As a down-and-out street violinist, you accidentally stepped into this land. As the only musician currently possessing synesthetic abilities, you take on the role of Administrator, leading everyone to rebuild their homes. Gradually, you discover that your background seems to hide a secret closely related to the catastrophe... During the "Echo Test," the main and side storylines have been reshaped, with the total text volume reaching 800,000 words. Meanwhile, the presentation and dialogue interactions for key plot points have been comprehensively upgraded, allowing Administrators to immerse themselves more deeply in this story about music, belief, and revival.

Master Urban Construction, Revitalize District Appearance
During the "Echo Test," district construction features a richer architectural landscape. Over ten modern British-style buildings and abundant decorations, such as gentleman's tailoring shops, music bars, Ferris wheels, and circuses, make their debut, making the era's style more distinct. Some existing buildings have also added visual upgrade effects; as internal expansions progress, building exteriors will simultaneously gain more refined appearances, providing more intuitive visual feedback on the path to revival.
Meanwhile, buildings are no longer required to connect to roads. The new UI blends into the scene with semi-transparent warm wood tones, allowing Administrators to freely plan road networks and coordinate functional coverage within their districts, balancing management efficiency with neighborhood aesthetics to build an ideal city with warmth and breath.
Encounter the Inspired, Listen to Street Whispers
To better combine Victorian style with modern aesthetics, some Inspired characters have been thoroughly reshaped from their artwork to their character settings, while several new NPCs have been introduced to further enrich the district's cast of characters. The bond between Administrators and the Inspired no longer stops at daily greetings. Through the reconstruction of three dimensions—need interactions, scene submissions, and key plot presentations—Administrators can gradually understand the unique inner worlds and emotional stories of each Inspired character.
When switching to the street view, every resident and animal in the city exhibits vivid, unique behaviors. Administrators can roam freely within their districts, encountering them in streets and alleys, listening to their stories, and watching the lights of myriad homes ignite one by one at dusk. The pulse of the city is hidden in these moments.
Estate Management: Deepening Strategic Planning
The Estate is the indispensable engine of resources behind prosperity. To help Administrators master management essentials more quickly, the Estate tutorial has been completely restructured with phased objectives for gradual progression. When operational errors occur, the helpful Gremlin will promptly appear to provide clear tips and guidance, ensuring every Administrator can get started with ease. The long-awaited Estate building relocation feature will also officially launch, allowing production line iterations to no longer be constrained by existing layouts.
During the "Echo Test," the new Estate area "Flywheel Chemicals" will also officially open, focusing on mineral mining and conveyor belt mechanics. Administrators can build efficient industrial production lines around resource collection, transportation, and processing, experiencing a distinctly different management rhythm.
Explore and Collect: A Fantasy Adventure Experience
Exploration gameplay has undergone significant adjustments and optimizations in the "Echo Test." Streamlined operation processes, reduced map scale, and reorganized chapter structures and level objectives make the entire exploration process more compact, with paths and stage objectives clearer and easier to follow. The narrative unfolds in a more immersive way, gradually clearing the shrouding mist through exploration and puzzle-solving to reveal the truth behind the world's changes and the mystery of the protagonist's origins. Additionally, new collection and appraisal gameplay for artifacts will be added, bringing more collecting fun to the exploration journey.
Community Co-construction, Create Grand Wonders
The Land of Glow is not an isolated island. Administrators can visit each other's meticulously crafted districts and collect unique stories behind the buildings. This test will also open four community co-constructed wonder buildings, such as the Dawn Tower Bridge and the Glory Clock Tower. Administrators within the same community can work together, pool resources, and jointly create magnificent architectural miracles, making this shared world more vibrant through human connection.
