Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream

Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is an diagonal-down stealth game structured around fixed, puzzle-like encounters. Players control three characters—Hanna, Alva, and Sebastian—each with distinct abilities used to navigate levels designed with specific solutions. Core mechanics include using shadows, distractions, and timed actions to avoid detection and bypass guards.

The story follows Hanna as she searches for her missing brother Herman, who has become a fugitive in the city of Eriksholm. Along the way, she joins forces with Alva, a gang leader, and Sebastian, a former soldier, as they uncover a conspiracy involving powerful figures shaping the city's future. The narrative spans multiple districts, each revealing new information about Herman’s disappearance and the political forces at play.

Progression introduces new tools gradually, such as blow darts, thrown objects, or environmental traversal skills. The game emphasizes observation and timing, with minimal room for improvisation. Encounters typically require executing a particular sequence of actions in a specific order, with success often dependent on identifying set patterns in enemy behavior. Levels restrict which characters and abilities are available at any time.
