Welcome to Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream's walkthrough. We've included a complete walkthrough of the game below, broken up into chapters.
Eriksholm: The Stolen Dream is an upcoming adventure stealth game developed by River End Games and published by Nordcurrent. Set in the fictional city of Eriksholm, the game follows Hanna-a young orphan whose brother, Herman, disappears-as she embarks on a quest to uncover the truth behind his disappearance.
The first thing to note is this is a game that strips the genre back to its bare essentials. You're eased in gently - controlling nimble-footed Hanna, the game's main protagonist, as she cleverly makes her way through her home borough while it's crawling with cops. It takes a while before Eriksholm gives you any sort of offensive capability, and even longer until the two other player characters, Alva and Sebastian, become fully available to you.
You'll spend a lot of the early game utilising the basics of cover, shadow, and distraction to evade the plod, and it's pretty clear early on that Eriksholm absolutely nails the fundamentals. New abilities are revealed as you progress through the story, including the ability to fling pebbles to distract guards, a medium range stun in the form of a blow dart, and a burly chokehold from the biggest, heaviest character in the squad. (Who is incidentally also the only one who can swim, however that works.) Alva can climb drain pipes, Hanna can squeeze through vents. These are obviously all pretty run-of-the-mill stealth-tactics abilities and archetypes - essentially the moveset of x1 Ezio, only spread across three distinct characters that complement each other, turning the more complex encounters into a satisfying game of single player co-op.
