Eleusis is a 3d first-person adventure game for Windows developed by Nocturnal Works. It takes place in a seemingly abandoned village in Greece where the player character, while trying to seek refuge, finds himself in the center of a whirlwind of mysterious events. As the plot unfolds he finds clues that indicate that the village is a nest of a cult which plans to revive a dark force through an ancient ritual and harness its power. The player character faces the challenge of unlocking the forgotten knowledge of the ancient mysteries in order to stop the cult from accomplishing their goal. It is an exploration based adventure game where the player is called to solve the mystery by finding clues and reading various texts based on actual history, mythology and technology of ancient Greece.

0 comments by titusf on Apr 7th, 2013

The new update of Eleusis is finally here. Unlike in previous updates, version 1.2 introduces all-new gameplay elements to enhance the overall gaming experience. Venturing through the forest is now most unsettling due to new hazards. The player acquires the ability to throw items to defend himself. He can use stealth tactics and agility to survive.

Version 1.2 includes:
 - New NPC threats to the player
 - Ability to throw pickable items
 - Rebindable keys
 - Key to toggle run mode
 - Various bug fixes

Note:
Due to the addition of new gameplay elements, older version save files might not work properly so we strongly recommend that you start a new game to fully experience the game.

This game has the worst optimalisation I have ever seen.

I have actual version 1.2, running that on Core i5 with Radeon 7970 in 1920x1200 with full details and vsync on (tryed off too, but it's same).

In village fps dropped under 15fps, in some places at village a got even 7 fps. Unbelievable and unplayable! Crysis 3 in full details runs much much faster than this thing.

Terrible framerate issues in this game so far on the DX11 mode, haven't tried DX9 yet. I know it's not hardware related as I can play Battlefield 3 maxed out at 60fps. Here's hardware specs if they will help you: i3 3220, HD 7850 OC, 8GB RAM

Edit: Meant to add that these issues are in the town. The second I leave the town my framerates go back to normal.

Well i finished it, and fixed the stretched screen problem. It was a very interesting experience, and i enjoyed greatly, except for how the wolves and torch guy are put in, they don't seem smart and just have robotically know where you are. And the wolf encounters specifically aren't very fun, and lose the scariness the second time, it's basically just run around it while it for some reason just trots toward you.

It was a bit short, which is okay, because you nailed the narrative, but it would've been nice to be able to explore a couple other buildings for extra lore(Coffee house for example) or perhaps item placed in them to make a 3rd ending with the spiral at the dead end or something.

Quite the experience, great presentation, pure spooky, but very rough gameplay and poor NPC implementation, poor optimization resulting in framerate issues if vsync is on (It's not my rig i promise, unreal 3 on dx9 should not be hard to run for me at all, something to look into) also should be a bit longer, though i'm not worried because I know it's still being improved..

7/10 from me. Fix the performance and AI issues and add a bit more to explore and it's a solid 8.5.

How do I change the FOV? The game is stretched at my native resolution.(1280x1024)

Okay, figured out how to change the FOV (I remember having to do it for Borderlands and Quantum Conundrum). Despite this, the game still appears stretched, and is very noticable, was this game not built with widescreen in mind? Fun game but it still bothers me.

Also, I cannot turn on anti aliasing (Yes I'm playing with DirectX9) attempting to do so crashes the game. Also I'm getting FPS issues with vsync on, however, my rig should not have trouble playing an Unreal 3 game at all on DX9.

I would of posted this message under the screenshot, but some idiot is posting spoilers in there, and I don't want to read them.

What is with the screenshot of the room that has white dots all over it, that looks like you have a broken monitor? Is that a real screenshot of something you are going to see in the game, because it looks like crap, and it makes me feel like my monitor is broken when viewing it. I'm talking about the 7th screenshot.

Cool atmosphere, I like the use of lighting in this game especially. The puzzles aren't bad either.

-1 point for performance though. The village area is especially hitchy.
