I know... We've all been waiting for The Talos Principle 2 for SO long that it's now literally stealing the show! So, when you're done playing that demo, why don't you come and check what the Puzzle Pole has to offer? Hello, builders, and welcome to How To Build Your Igloo! Please play the available short demo and share your opinions / feedback! Keep in mind that it only shows the very first, introductory section of the game, which is super easy... but there's also a preview of medium-advanced levels right at the end! Oh, and if you'll decide to get the full game, you'll be able to carry over your progresses from the demo... no need to replay those tutorial levels!
Game status update
Talking about the game development, I've just designed the 230th level of the game, which means it's only 20 more levels to go! Some final areas of the Puzzle Pole map are still in progress, but the day this adventure will be available for everyone to play is getting closer and closer. I'm also learning how to insert achievements, so the final game should have some of those too before release!
Enjoy the Fest and, if you find anything interesting (like this game <wink, wink>), please spread the news!
It’s hard to believe that Lost Eidolons is about to celebrate a full year after launch!
The game has seen many changes within the past year. To list just a few: we released on console platforms (Xbox Series X|S and PlayStation5), got verified for the Steam Deck, added New Game + mode, made improvements to various parts of the gameplay including cutscenes and endings, and brought other various changes to the game. This was possible through everyone’s feedback and support, so we would like to share our sincere gratitude to our community.
To celebrate our launch anniversary, Lost Eidolons will go on a whooping 60% discount for a week–and this applies to our amazing OST and beautiful artbook as well! If you’ve been waiting for a time to snag any of them, now is your chance. If you already own them all, it can be a prime time to convert a friend of yours into a loyal SRPG fan. Just a thought.
If you enjoyed the game, make sure you check out and wishlist the spinoff, Lost Eidolons: Veil of the Witch, on Steam to be the first to hear the latest news on Artemesia.
