Springs, Eternal is a lo-fi first-person story exploration game that takes place at a mysterious hot springs in the dead of night, its evocative visual style recalling the dithered and pixelated graphics of late ‘90s-era PC and home console games.

Relive your memories of the romantic relationship that brought you here.

Lose yourself. Seek something else.

Features

  • A short, focused, supernatural-inflected first-person narrative exploration game (around 2-3 hours to fully complete.) The dark paths you walk are ominous, but you can’t die… can you?
  • Experience all that a mysterious, secluded hot springs retreat has to offer. Multiple tucked-away pools, caverns, and other odd attractions. The map gradually expands as you explore, revealing new discoveries.
  • Evocative lo-fi graphics express the essence of this place through shimmering pixels and dithered fog.
  • Over a dozen unique characters to encounter. Talk with them face-to-face, exploring topics via branching dialogue. Learn their stories and how they relate to your own.
  • Delve into a series of memories reliving the romantic relationship that brought you to this point. Flashbacks create a portrait of two people, their life together, and who they’ll become.
  • Criss-cross the paths of Stillwater Springs using what you learn in one conversation to unlock new dialogue threads and new guest interactions elsewhere. Use your powers of observation to unearth all that Springs, Eternal has in store.
