About This Game

*** Content Warning: Shadows of Eldemir contains occult themes, unsettling horror imagery and moments of psychological unease which some players may find distressing. ***

The year is 1890. London schoolmaster Lucian West has travelled across Eastern Europe to the remote village of Eldemir after his fiancée, archaeologist Eveline Carrington, mysteriously vanished during an excavation in the Carpathian mountains.

The expedition, led by distinguished London university professors, had uncovered a strange artefact buried deep beneath the mountain - something that contained ancient knowledge no human mind was meant to comprehend.

The Carpathians have long been a place of folklore and old superstitions. The locals often speak of vanished travellers and wandering spirits. Then there are those who still fear a vampire scourge believed to have been destroyed many years ago. But since the expedition uncovered the artefact, the land itself seems to have 'remembered' what it was hiding.

Some believe the vampires have returned. Others fear something far older has awakened.

Shadows of Eldemir is a retro-inspired, cosmic-horror, point-and-click adventure RPG combining classic first-person exploration and puzzle-solving with a Victorian love story at its core.
