Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is an atmospheric isometric stealth action-adventure game developed by River End Games and published by Funcom. Set in a fictional, historically rich Scandinavian city during the early 20th century, the game plunges players into a world of deep conspiracy following a catastrophic event. You will navigate the scarred city, utilizing stealth and cunning, as you control three distinct protagonists whose fates are intertwined in the quest to expose the dark secrets plaguing Eriksholm.
The gameplay focuses heavily on tactical stealth. Players must strategically switch between the three main characters—Freyja (the agile courier), Silas (the resourceful investigator), and Cecil (the imposing, defensive figure)—to overcome complex challenges. Each mission requires careful planning, utilizing unique character skills and the reactive environment to distract guards, find hidden routes, and manipulate objects. The narrative is a gripping, non-linear journey where your tactical decisions directly influence the unfolding conspiracy and the lives of the citizens.
