The isometric, single-player narrative adventure launches next week for PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, and PC via Steam and the Epic Games Store.
A Stealth-Driven Story of Revolution and Resistance
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream follows siblings Hanna and Herman as they become entangled in a growing revolution that threatens to unravel their entire city. When her brother goes missing under suspicious circumstances, Hanna must navigate the city’s underbelly and uncover a conspiracy that runs deeper than she ever imagined.

Inspired by games like Desperados, This War of Mine, and Brothers: A Tale of Two Sons, Eriksholm emphasizes choice, atmosphere, and character-driven narrative. Players will guide multiple characters through dangerous cityscapes, using light, shadows, and the environment to outmaneuver guards and surveillance while uncovering the truth.
