Project: Eidolon is a 2D Horror/Adventure game exploring metaphysical themes and simulation. Navigate a deteriorating spiritual world with ambiguous storytelling, and minimalist controls, facing existential struggle and shadowy enemies.
Find the source of the corruption, avoiding traps and uncovering flashbacks.
Story
In an infinite, collapsing “Universe,” a last-ditch survival effort is initiated.
Mirroring the fracturing reality around them, one of the few remaining living beings creates a simulation — a parallel, multi-dimensional framework — designed to diagnose and possibly cure the disintegration.
Within it, a program — [CODE: Lilith] — awakens, tasked with exploring this decaying dimension for answers.
But with every failure, the simulation resets — along with the “Universe” itself — undoing all progress and accelerating its collapse. Environments, people, even C:Lilith begin to erode.
From beyond the simulation bleed Pitch Black entities and White, ghost-like Spirits, invade the space, corrupting its structure and resisting intervention.
To survive, C:Lilith must navigate this fragmented reality, recover their creator’s broken memories, and confront the enigmatic Source — the being behind the resets at the highest level.
