The Star Named EOS is a breathtaking, first-person narrative puzzle adventure that explores the power of photography and the persistence of memory. Developed by Silver Lining Studio, the creators of Behind the Frame, this title centers on Dei, a young photographer who sets out to uncover the truth behind his mother’s disappearance. By following the clues left in the old photographs she sent him during her travels, players embark on a journey that blurs the line between the past and the present.
The gameplay revolves around “re-creating” scenes from the past. You must manipulate the environment, solve intricate mechanical puzzles, and find the perfect angle to snap a photo that matches a historical snapshot. The hand-drawn art style is exquisite, transforming every room into a living painting filled with warmth and nostalgia. As you delve deeper into the mystery, the game shifts from a simple scavenger hunt into a poignant exploration of family bonds and the fragments of life we leave behind. It is a quiet, meditative experience that rewards patience and observation, making it a standout for fans of emotional storytelling and “cozy” puzzle games.
