Today marks the exciting mobile release of The Star Named EOS in the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Developed by Silver Lining Studio, this captivating story-rich puzzle adventure first graced PC and consoles in July 2024. The same studio also brought us Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery, another enchanting hand-painted adventure.

What’s the Story in The Star Named EOS?

In The Star Named EOS, you embody Dei, a young photographer on a quest to unravel the mystery surrounding his mother's past. The journey begins when Dei notices strange discrepancies in the old travel photos his mother sent him during his childhood, sparking an emotional and mysterious adventure.

The narrative unfolds like flipping through a photo album, with each page revealing unexpected secrets. As Dei, you'll recreate these photos by meticulously studying environments and solving puzzles. The puzzles are beautifully crafted and intuitive, enhancing the immersive experience.

Visually, The Star Named EOS is a feast for the eyes. Its hand-painted art style creates a captivating atmosphere, with some locations exuding a dreamy quality reminiscent of a Ghibli landscape. The characters, particularly in the short cutscenes, add depth and emotion to the story.

What Other Features Does It Offer?

The Star Named EOS supports controller use on mobile devices and offers multiple language options, making it accessible to a broader audience. To play through the Crunchyroll Game Vault, you'll need a Mega Fan Premium or Ultimate Membership, but a free trial is available, allowing you to try it out by downloading it from the Google Play Store.

The game blends narrative and puzzle elements into a seamless hybrid, featuring clever design that elevates it beyond typical fetch quests. This thoughtful integration ensures a rich and engaging gameplay experience.
