Vilnius, Lithuania (December 5, 2024) - Today, during the PC Gaming Show: Most Wanted livestream, developer River End Games and publisher Nordcurrent Labs unveiled the first gameplay trailer for the upcoming narrative-focused stealth adventure game, Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream.
The latest trailer for this riveting single-player game highlights its stealth mechanics and immersive story, offering a fresh glimpse into the richly crafted cityscape of the titular city of Eriksholm. The trailer re-introduces Hanna, an adolescent orphan on a quest to find her missing brother, and welcomes her allies, Alva and Sebastian, to her cause. River End Games and Nordcurrent Labs will release an extended gameplay trailer next week, which will further showcase how players will fight back against the threads of corruption that hold a tight grip on the downtrodden populace of Eriksholm.

A top-down 3D perspective delivers a carefully constructed design balance between adventure and stealth that lets players savor the beauty of Eriksholm while also providing a field of view to strategize their next actions.
