What Eidolon is
Eidolon is an adventure game developed by Ice Water Games and released in 2014. It is available on Mac and PC (Microsoft Windows). It runs on Unreal Engine 3.
The premise, in the publisher's words
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 little to guide your way. Awaiting you is a vast landscape filled with wildlife, edible plants, and the memories of our now-dead culture—stored in artefacts such as journals, sketchbooks, newspapers, zines, brochures, transcripts, blogs, and more. Collect these memories and piece together what happened to these people.
How it plays
It is played from a first person perspective. Its themes are survival. It is a single-player game with no multiplayer component.
