Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream

 
Gaslight, cobblestones, and the weight of a lie
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a narrative stealth thriller set in an alternate early‑1900s Nordic port. Three unlikely allies move through canals and factories, reading light and lines like scripture. Every footstep has an echo, every mistake a witness—subtle, tense, and wonderfully human.
How it plays
The camera sits above diorama‑like districts. You scout patrols, study sight lines, and pick the right tool for each gap. Hanna crawls vents and slips through service space; Alva climbs facades and bridges rooftops; Sebastian handles force and watery shortcuts. The loop is elegant: plan, execute, rewind a few seconds if spotted, then refine. Iteration is quick, friction is low, and mastery feels earned.
Levels are compact yet layered. Alleys hide blinds, catwalks stitch routes, and reflections betray possibilities. Optional objectives tempt greed—bonus evidence, alternate exits, ghost‑run constraints. Story and stealth mesh: motive guides risk, and consequences land in a city built on secrets and memory.
