Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is a character-driven single-player game set in the titular Eriksholm — a fictitious city in a world with a Nordic-inspired, early 1900s aesthetic. Players will navigate through the densely detailed streets and dreary underground of the city of Eriksholm, utilizing each of the game’s three playable protagonists’ unique skills, tools, and weapons to overcome obstacles and solve puzzles. A top-down 3D perspective delivers a carefully constructed design balance between adventure and stealth that lets players savor the beauty of Eriksholm while also providing a field of view to strategize their next actions.
