An FPP adventure game, in which we play as a young photographer. The main protagonist of The Star Named EOS is Dei, following the footsteps of his long-missing mother, trying to solve the mystery of her disappearance.
The Star Named EOS is a narrative adventure game developed by the independent Silver Lining Studio. They were previously responsible for another project of the similar genre, Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery.
The main protagonist of The Star Named EOS is a young photographer named Dei. Throughout the game, he follows in the footsteps of his long-missing mother. While away from home she used to send him letters, to which she attached photos she had taken; these let her son imagine the adventures she was experiencing. However, after he notices something strange on one of the photographs, his mother mysteriously disappears. Years later, Dei decides to solve the mystery of what happened to her.
The gameplay in The Star Named EOS is shown from the first-person perspective. As we traverse the diverse locations our main objective is taking photos and examining them; these trigger flashbacks, letting the protagonist relive long-forgotten memories. In addition to that, throughout the game the player solves various puzzles involving finding objects and interacting with the environment.
The colorful visuals of The Star Named EOS have been made with the use of the same cartoonish artstyle known from Silver Lining Studio's previous project.

NoobFeed: 75 / 100 by Andres Aviles
Across 10 chapters, Dei explores his innermost thoughts while making sense of his mother’s letters, finding himself in the process. A brief narrative most will be able to finish in one sitting, The Star Named EOS is one of those heartwarming stories that when the realities of the world wear you down, it will be there to tuck you in and make you feel safe, as you drift off into a deep slumber.
Press Start: 8.5 / 10 by Kieron Verbrugge
The Star Named EOS tells a wonderful, bittersweet story through a unique gameplay lens that marries point-and-click puzzling with some light photography to great effect. If you've got a couple hours to spare getting lost in this hand-drawn and beautiful little game, you're in for an absolute treat.
Nintendo Life: 8 / 10 by Michelle See-Tho
Like a photo, The Star Named EOS is a fleeting moment in time. In the all-too-short playthrough, it gave us so much to love: between the art, the story and the puzzles we can't choose just one highlight. And once the credits rolled we already wanted to take another turn. Puzzle games don't have the best replay value, but thanks to the tricksy teasers and compelling mother-son narrative, we would be delighted to return to this one. There's not much more for us to say here - a photo is worth a thousand words.
