In Springs, Eternal players explore the dark, winding, wooded paths of Stillwater Springs, a secluded, dreamlike and eerie retreat nestled deep amongst the fog-shrouded pines - an otherworldly location that is equally inviting as it is unsettling.
As they tread and illuminate the trail, flashlight in hand, players will begin to piece together the humanistic and deeply heartfelt memory of the romantic relationship that brought them here, and perhaps discover where it will lead them next.
Along the way, they’ll encounter a varied and unique cast of other lost souls, each with their own reasons for being at Stillwater: the philosophers engaging in a debate that could last a lifetime; the tattooist waiting to inscribe you with your future; the old men, the widow, the young lovers…
In a first for Fullbright, engaging in branching dialogue with this cast of characters reveals who they are, how their stories relate to your own, and what other secrets the supernaturally-tinged Stillwater might be hiding.
An atmospheric, moonlit, lo-fi visual aesthetic deeply enhances the dreamlike vibes of the hotspring, luring players in amongst the firs with its dithered and crunchy pixelated stylings; evocative of late ‘90s-era PC and home console games.
Lose yourself. Seek something else.
