(no, before you ask, it is not a remake of The Eidolon)
Eidolon is a new upcoming game from new indie studio Ice Water Games.
Thee pitch:
"Eidolon, a narrative exploration game set in a massive, post-human Western Washington.
Eidolon is a game about exploring a mysterious landscape and uncovering the stories of the people who lived there once before. It is a game about history, curiosity, interconnectedness, and the slow and inevitable beauty of life.
You will be dropped into the dreary and mystical Western Washington circa 2400 c.e. with a bow, fishing rod, and little to guide your way. Awaiting you is a vast landscape filled with wildlife, edible plants, and the historical artefacts of our now-dead culture—journals, newspapers, zines, brochures, transcripts, and more. You must spend your fleeting moments moving through this place, collecting what was left behind, and piecing together what happened to these people, both from a historical perspective and from a much more personal one."
The game looks very fascinating. I love the graphical style, and narrative exploration game is right up my street. I think this may be one worth keeping an eye on.
