The Eclipse Files

The Eclipse Files is a tactical role-playing game about Detective Shen Libang, his assistant Chris and the mysterious girl Alice investigating the darkest corners of a city. Shen is searching for his missing family and seeking the horror hidden behind the world’s disguise. Your choices shape whether he becomes a hero or is lost to madness.

Investigate the city

You move through grid-based scenes, explore, interact with characters and gather clues. Almost anything in the environment can be examined, from notes and scratches to whispered words. Connect related clues to reveal hidden truths and advance the story. Cases have several possible outcomes, including a perfect resolution, a tragedy or the discovery of deeper truths.

Dice and decisions

Critical actions are resolved with dice rolls influenced by your skills, status, the environment and luck. The game combines tactical, grid-based play with tabletop role-playing elements, making investigations and other key actions uncertain.

Build your team

You can recruit distinct allies, including a physically strong college jock, a lively detective assistant and a university girl who sees the “unseeable.” Interact with NPCs who have their own secrets, and decide whom to trust.

Combat and items

When you face the unspeakable, turn-based encounters require you to plan your positioning, skills and item use. You can use over 60 types of items to help with investigations. Some scrolls contain ancient rituals that can change the course of events or backfire.
