Eldoria is a Souls-like with Action Adventure RPG elements. You play as Amara at initially 9 years old, uncovering the truth of darkness and secrets that have been sealed within her since she was born. Meet comical characters, explore the vast land of Eldoria and harness the power of Light to transmute darkness back to its true form--Light. Eldoria's core message is: "The world is not what it seems, as the world is not as dark as we're told it is. There is Light".

History

This game all started cooking in November 2023 when siblings Natalia and Carlos were just starting the new phase of their lives; moving from New Jersey to Texas. Natalia, being the visionary, lead designer and creator, started researching how to build a game that had a spiritual core, intertwined with inspiration from some of Natalia's and Carlos' favorite games like Runescape 2, MapleStory, Pokémon, Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch, The Witcher 3, The Elder Scrolls series, and of course, the Souls series. Natalia has trained as a White Light Reiki Practitioner by Marie Viola and Eldoria's core magic mechanics are built off of how she learned energy actually behaves.

SolarWind Studio (est. 2024) is Natalia's company which is contracting Carlos' company, 2kPixel Studios (2019) to collaborate working on Eldoria.

Demo Features

Redemption

Instead of simply slaying corrupted foes, Amara can purify their souls through redemption. Success depends on enemy health and Amara’s Light level, balancing risk and reward. Redeemed enemies regain their true form and may leave behind loot or rare Light scrolls — adding moral choice and strategy to combat.

Presence

Enter a heightened magical awareness revealing hidden details in Eldoria — from traps and weakened walls to echoes of past memories. Presence can be used in combat to reveal enemy attack types and weaknesses and even grant time-slowing abilities. Strengthen the power of your Light, and your Presence Abilities will rise to match it.

Strategic Combat

Switch freely between Magic, Melee, and Archery combat styles. Customize your build by harnessing 12 unique elements — Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Ice, Poison, Electric, Sound, Illusion, Cosmic, Light, and Dark — through spells, infused weapons, and dipped arrows. Elemental strengths and weaknesses mold every fight, so be prepared. Eldoria’s creatures will not go easy on you.

Uncover Secrets

Traverse through The Lost Labyrinth, one Eldoria’s dungeons, filled with traps, surprise enemies, puzzles, and of course, loot! Collect weapons, spell scrolls and potions to survive on your journey. You may, also, discover the oldest truth of all, of why darkness maybe isn’t as scary as it’s cracked up to be.

An Even Deeper Dive

When you defeat enemies, you gain Spirit Shards which you get to choose when to cash in your Spirit Shards to level up dedicated Combat Skills like:

  • Vigor increases Health Points.

  • Attunement increases Magic Points and how many Spell Slots you have.

  • Resolve increases Energy Points and your Max Equip Load.

  • Strength increases Melee Attack.

  • Dexterity increases Archery Attack.

  • Insight increases Magic Attack and all elements except Light.

  • Trust increases Light Attack and the player's proficiency when Redeeming corrupted enemies and being in the Presence State.

Some of the first gear you'll find are:

  • Birch Wand

  • Toxic Spores (Poison spell)

  • Lightning Arc (Electric spell)

You’ll later discover Sunstrike (Light spell) in a chest, and on deeper levels, the Birch Staff and Tome of Flickering Runes, along with rare spell scroll drops like Plague Pulse and Shocking End.

When the journey begins, Amara starts at:

  • Level: 1

  • Health Points (HP): 30

  • Energy Points (EP): 50

  • Magic Points (MP): 50

  • All Combat Skills: Level 1

  • Active Spells – Equip to a Quick Item slot and you can cast the spell.

  • Passive Spells – Equipped in the Character Status Window. Up to 3 can be active at once for ongoing benefits.

Each spell is tied to an element and has a chance to inflict its related status effect. The 12 elements are: Earth, Fire, Water, Air, Ice, Poison, Electric, Sound, Illusion, Cosmic.

The first creatures you’ll meet are:

  • Squeakle – Water type, weak to Electric spells.

  • Chirpleaf – Earth type, weak to Poison spells.

Corrupted versions appear deeper in the dungeon and are weak to your Light spells.

  • Magic – Wands, Staffs, and Tomes with unique casting speeds and animations.

  • Archery – Shortbows, Longbows, and Crossbows with arrows and bolts.

  • Melee – Daggers, Straightswords, Greatswords, and Shields.

  • Movement & Defense – Dodge rolling and blocking with weapons or shields.

Using Light magic, the Soul Unchained spell can redeem corrupted creatures, restoring them to their normal form—or weaken them if they resist. Some rare spell scrolls, like Sunstrike, and other special loot can drop through redemption.

There will be various puzzles you need to solve in order to open the gate to the next room. There will also be a boss in the final room. There will be traps like:

  • Spikes trap coming up from the floor

  • Shooting arrows from walls

  • Fire coming up from the floor

Yes! Eldoria supports both Xbox controllers and keyboard + mouse.
