About Eidolon
In Eidolon, you start as a new student at Eidolon University. You're asked to introduce yourself to the new students. In doing so, you'll learn more about them, the true nature of the university, and yourself.
Eidolon University has a 2-3 hour playtime but no two playthroughs will ever be the same due to extensive dialogue options and as many as sixteen unique endings per character. You play as a new student at Eidolon university. As you interact with the other students (by clicking on them in whatever order you choose), you will have extensive branching dialogue options that unlock new areas, raise affection, and unlock special endings.
This download includes the full game, free to play, with no additional content expansions anticipated. Play for free now and forever.
Some of the characters you will meet while playing include:
Erica (not-datable) – A bubbly sorority sister who'd love to party and make memories with you – or drink too much and forget them.
Melody (datable) – She's hoping to save the world – and would love help picking up litter or protesting the new power plant, especially with an attractive student like you! If only she could find a way to graduate from the university and make a more meaningful impact...
Vivian (datable) – Voted most likely to succeed. She'll apply that same ambition in dating you and in trying to escape from Eidolon.
Adrianna (datable) – The resident romantic, hoping to have her own happily ever after. Can you give her the romance she longs for or will she be forced to take matters into her own hands?
Brooke (datable) – Athletic and skeptical about love – can you work your way into her heart? Or better yet, give her the adventure she craves?
Claire (datable) – Curious about everything, she's eager to experiment with you in all kinds of ways. But her greatest experiment will be determining the true nature of her world.
Reia (datable) – More interested in books than romance, can you find a philosophy that incorporates love? Or one that explains who - what - she really is?
Sophia (non-datable) – The school's guidance counselor may have answers to the mysteries of the university – or at least towards better understanding why you seek them.

Eidolon is not a game, it's an e-book that's been dumped on Steam masquerading as a game. As a visual/interactive novel, this doesn't feature any notable gameplay, it's just a lot of clicking through badly written dialogue that would never have been accepted or published in print, which poses the question, "How did something this badly written end up on Steam?". When someone hoping to become an author is unable to get published in print, they spend $100 and dump their high school fan-fiction onto Steam, under the guise of a game. This e-book should not be confused with Eidolon, the successful 2014 video game from Ice Water Games (which is a real video game, not an e-book). Instead, we have your usual high school anime club dropout fan-fiction about the author's favourite topic, his harem of imaginary girlfriends, who all go to a university dedicated to one subject, how to be imaginary girlfriends for the author. The cringey writing about the developers various imaginary girlfriend/waifus in this trash e-book is enough to make you throw up in your mouth. But that's what cringe fan-fictions are all about... bad writing and cringe. And boy, does this deliver. Visual novels/e-…1 found this helpful

when you go and talk with the girls, it's often brief and forces you to go back into choosing a different option...it's like no matter what you do, it ends up being uninformative and it even make you feel like being an intruder in a conversation that you shouldn't be listening to........it feels cringe to play and i don't feel the game being welcoming nor apealing to a fellow crab like me1 found this helpful
Игра 'Eidolon' очаровывает своей меланхоличной атмосферой и медитативным геймплеем. Исследуя опустевшие ландшафты вымышленного региона, оставленного человечеством, игрок обнаруживает обрывки истории через аудиодневники и визуальные подсказки. Уникальная система управления, требующая освоения движений тела персонажа, добавляет глубины погружению. Несмотря на отсутствие экшена, игра держит в напряжении за счёт таинственности окружающего мира и постоянного желания понять, что же произошло. Сюжет разворачивается постепенно, позволяя игроку самому формировать картину произошедших событий. Визуальная составляющая, выполненная в минималистичном стиле, прекрасно передает ощущение заброшенности и уединенности. Саундтрек идеально дополняет атмосферу, создавая глубокое эмоциональное переживание. 'Eidolon' - это не игра для всех. Она требует терпения и готовности к вдумчивому исследованию. Однако, если вы ищете медитативный опыт с интересным сюжетом и уникальной механикой управления, то она обязательно стоит вашего внимания. Это настоящая интерактивная медитация, оставляющая после себя долгое послевкусие.
Game is broken. I tried downloading it multiple times. I start out with all characters already revealed in some sort of 'end game' state.
