    While failing to revolutionize the horror genre, Eleusis is still a decent, alternative suggestion. [April 2013]

    Eleusis is an ambitious independent adventure with great atmosphere and some good visuals. Sadly the puzzles are lost in a sea of backtracking that kills explorations and dissolves the ambiance.

    Eleusis Nocturnal Works fails to impose the gameplay structure, due to excessive simplicity of the puzzles, annoying backtracking and bad exploration mechanics.

    Eleusis is an atmospheric, but mechanically very superficial adventure.

    Eleusis starts off promisingly enough, but well-appointed graphics can’t make up for the lackluster story and generally poor gameplay.

    Eleusis aka Backtracking The Game. At first it looks very awesome and atmospheric game, atmospheric it is indeed. Then you find out that youEleusis aka Backtracking The Game. At first it looks very awesome and atmospheric game, atmospheric it is indeed. Then you find out that you have no idea what you're supposed to do. You have to jump around like an idiot and hope that you have found every item. If not, go jumping back. Compared to Amnesia, this game is not very player friendly. I lost my interest to it completely when I noticed, that you can't save the game. You have to play same parts again and again or you must have balls to solve puzzles and get new checkpoint. In addition when you get stuck in every tree and slope, it will ruin your day easily. Full Review »
