Crunchyroll Reveals 'The Star Named EOS,' a Ghibli-Style Mystery

The Star Named EOS has launched on mobile today via the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Developed by Silver Lining Studio, this narrative-driven puzzle adventure first released on PC and consoles in July 2024. The studio is also known for Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery, another beautifully hand-painted adventure title.

What’s the Story in The Star Named EOS?

You play as Dei, a young photographer searching for answers about his mother's disappearance. He begins noticing strange discrepancies in the old travel photos she sent him during his childhood, sparking an emotional and mysterious journey.

The narrative gently unfolds like a photo album, with each page revealing unexpected details. By examining these photographs, you reconstruct the scenes by exploring environments and solving inventive puzzles. Most puzzles are wonderfully intuitive and engaging.

Visually, The Star Named EOS is stunning. The hand-painted art style creates a rich atmosphere, with many locations evoking a dreamlike quality. The character designs, particularly in brief cutscenes, might even remind you of a Studio Ghibli landscape.

Why not experience The Star Named EOS for yourself and discover its breathtaking visuals?
