Eldervale

Eldervale is a survival horror game set in the Delaney Institution, where Ophelia Delaney returns to confront the past that haunts her. You explore, solve puzzles, manage resources and fight, flee or hide to survive. The story and mechanics unfold over a 3–4 hour playtime.

Ophelia’s return

Ophelia spent her early childhood with her parents in Alder Stow, where the Delaney family had owned a large estate for generations. During the 20th century, the estate was used for many things, but the terrible events that took place there remain unknown. Ophelia was forced to leave town and was raised by her aunt. Ten years later, images of the past, suppressed memories and lucid dreams torment her. After increasingly radical treatments fail, she believes she can only be cured where she was born: the Delaney Institution.

Explore and survive

You navigate a large, interconnected level using maps and collected consumables. Puzzles and obstacles block new paths, while the Institution’s dangers force you to fight, run or hide. You can fight, escape or sneak past more than a dozen types of enemies and other dangers, and collect and manage items to aid your survival.

Choices and challenges

You meet other characters and decide their fate, while piecing together the history of the Delaney Institution and its residents. You can choose separate difficulty settings for Combat and Puzzle, as well as a Special Mode with random events. The game also includes multiple endings, alternate costumes and achievements.

Deep Reserves

The Deep Reserves expansion has its own progression system and lets you unlock powerful rewards.
