"Crunchyroll Unveils 'The Star Named EOS': A Ghibli-Inspired Mystery to Explore"

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

What’s the Story in The Star Named EOS?

In The Star Named EOS, you step into the role of Dei, a young photographer on a deeply personal mission to uncover the truth behind his mother's mysterious disappearance. As he revisits old travel photos she sent during his childhood, he begins noticing strange inconsistencies—details that don’t quite add up. This realization sets him off on an emotional and enigmatic journey filled with discovery and introspection.

The narrative unfolds like flipping through a photo album, where each image reveals hidden secrets waiting to be explored. By recreating these photographs and solving puzzles within the environments they depict, players slowly piece together the story. Most puzzles are thoughtfully designed, intuitive, and seamlessly integrated into the world.

Visually, the game shines with its beautiful hand-painted art style that enhances the dreamlike atmosphere. From tranquil landscapes to surreal settings, the visuals evoke a sense of wonder often reminiscent of Studio Ghibli animations—especially during the brief but expressive cutscenes featuring the characters.

If you're drawn to rich storytelling and breathtaking aesthetics, The Star Named EOS is definitely worth experiencing firsthand.
