Publisher Serenity Forge (known for To the Moon, Doki Doki Literature Club Plus!, and Kill Princess) and developer Fullbright (known for Gone Home and Tacoma) jointly announce that the first-person narrative exploration game Springs, Eternal will launch on PC via Steam on November 12. Players can now get an early glimpse of Springs, Eternal through the demo available on Steam, and the game will also participate in the Steam Next Fest from October 20 to 27.
Springs, Eternal is a lo-fi first-person narrative exploration game set in a mysterious resort called "Stillwater Springs"—a secluded hot spring retreat hidden among mist-shrouded mountains. As the protagonist explores the resort's winding paths, hot spring pools, caves, and other hidden locations at night, they encounter a variety of eccentric guests and uncover their stories through branching dialogue. As the protagonist learns more about the people drawn to Stillwater Springs, they gradually piece together fragmented memories of the romance that brought them here. As past and present intertwine, the protagonist must uncover the truth behind their connection to Stillwater Springs and the secrets buried deep within this mysterious land.
Key Features:
• A short and punchy first-person narrative game with supernatural elements. The dark paths you tread are fraught with ominous signs, but you won't die... or will you?
• Freely explore this mysterious and secluded hot spring resort. Discover multiple hidden hot spring pools, caves, and other peculiar sights. As you delve deeper, the map will gradually expand, bringing new discoveries.
• Highly atmospheric lo-fi visuals, conveying the essence of the place through flickering pixels and jittery fog.
• Encounter over a dozen unique characters. Talk to them face-to-face, explore various topics through branching dialogue, learn their stories, and discover how these tales connect to your own experiences.
• Delve into fragments of memory and revisit the romance that brought you here. Flashbacks sketch out the figures of two people—their shared life, and who they were about to become.
• Navigate the intertwined paths of Stillwater Springs, using information gathered from conversations to unlock new dialogue options and interactions with other guests. Use your observational skills to uncover Everythinggj hidden in Springs, Eternal.
