Eclipse of Eldergaard

Eclipse of Eldergaard is a time-limited action-adventure set in a cursed world facing destruction. You play as Ren Huo, the youngest and weakest disciple of Solion, the Wukong of Light, and must close the hell gates before Umbra, the fallen Wukong of Shadow, escapes his crystal prison. The game takes place on Bloody Day, when the seal weakens and demons pour through the gates across Crimson Valley. The estimated playtime is about one hour.

The legend of light and shadow

The divine chose the brothers Solion and Umbra to protect the overworld and rule the underworld, respectively. After greed led Umbra to open the gates of hell and unleash his wrath on mankind, Solion fought him in a battle neither could win. Solion forged a crystal seal to imprison Umbra, who cursed the world to face the rise of his legions every 33 years on Bloody Day, when his prison would weaken.

Now the seal is failing. The First Disciple of Solion, whose strength rivaled legends, watches Ren Huo from the shadows and mocks him as he tests whether he deserves the mantle of Light.

Race against time

You must close the hell gates before the crystal prison shatters. The clock never stops, and every moment spent on the journey weakens the seal. If you fail, Umbra escapes and strikes you down in two blows: the first is dodged by fate, and the second ends your journey. If you succeed, Umbra remains imprisoned and light returns to Eldergaard.

Crystals and combat

You collect Crystal Shards to heal and stabilize the weakening seal, and seek the Four Sacred Crystals to awaken your hidden potential and unlock your full disciple powers. Without the crystals, Ren Huo is vulnerable; with them, he may have a chance against the final strikes.

At each hell gate, you face swarms of demons. You dodge, strike and survive as waves of enemies test your skill. The First Disciple appears throughout the journey to taunt you rather than help, leaving the reason for his watchfulness unclear.

Modes and endings

The game has one overworld map and one task-based mode. Your progress leads to one of two endings: Umbra is freed if you fail to seal the gates, while success keeps him imprisoned and preserves Eldergaard’s fragile hope.
