    It’s a fascinatingly disturbing game, but – yes – in that Lynchian/Cronenbergian way where if someone asked you to pin down exactly what it was that was making you feel so squirly you’d have trouble beyond, “HE RIPPED OUT HIS OWN HEART!” And, you know, fair play, that’s possibly a good reason too.

    Eclipsium is an unsettling and introspective indie thriller from developer Housefire and publisher Critical Reflex that blends slow-paced exploration with psychological tension. Instead of traditional scares, it builds dread through atmosphere, abstract storytelling, and a haunting pixelated world. The game challenges players to persist through cryptic environments and moments of sacrifice, offering a deeply personal experience that lingers beyond the ending. While its mechanics are minimal and pacing deliberate, Eclipsium succeeds as an experimental journey into discomfort and emotional weight.

    If you’re a fan of Lovecraftian horror and walking simulators, Eclipsium will be a delight for you to explore. It’s gross and gorgeous, with a subtle narrative, interesting premise, and heavily stylized world. While the art style may prove divisive, the experience as a whole is mesmerizing, adding a fresh spin on a classic horror walking simulator.
