The city of Eriksholm looks captivating, but I wish it'd sneak in some new ideas
- Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is an upcoming adventure game set in a fictional Scandilike country in the 1900s.
- Players assume the role of Hanna, an orphan searching for her brother while evading the town police in the city of Eriksholm.
- The game features a handcrafted toylike city with impressive animations and detailed visuals, using Unreal Engine's lumen for realistic lighting.
- Eriksholm offers solid voice acting, engaging worldbuilding, and motion capture during cinematics.
- The gameplay involves stealth mechanics centered around sound, such as avoiding guards and distractions like flying birds.
- While the city design is visually appealing with intricate details like tiled roofs and cobblestone streets, the stealth gameplay feels uninspired and predictable.
- Players must navigate the city, avoid guards' patrol patterns, and utilize items like a blowgun with sleeping darts to progress.
- Eriksholm's stealth elements lack innovation, employing instafail mechanics upon detection without providing options for recovery or dynamic responses.
- Compared to genre-defining stealth games with varied alert systems and recovery options, Eriksholm's gameplay may feel dated and unexciting to some players.
- Despite its visual charm and voice acting, Eriksholm's reliance on traditional stealth mechanics without inventive gameplay features may impact its overall appeal to players seeking more dynamic stealth experiences.
