Eidolon Shift
Working title · in developmentA top-down action RPG for Xbox Series X|S and Windows PC.
The game
Millennia have passed since a cataclysm drowned the world. The descendants of its survivors live on shattered continents and scattered islands bordering a phenomenon known as the Vortex. So much time has passed that little is remembered of the event, and the world's stranger, seemingly unnatural aspects no longer stir even the curious. But some forgotten things lie just beneath the surface.
Jace works with a crew in the mountain town of Blue Mere, on the island of Vetus Insula. What begins as an ordinary life becomes a search for the truth, pieced together from ruins, strange artifacts and the diluted lore of the islands' aging cultures. Slowly, the brittle nature of existence begins to crystallize.
