About Eclipsium
Eclipsium is a first‑person horror adventure where you embody the Wanderer, driven by a faint memory of “Her.” Your journey threads through nightmarish tombs, flesh‑filled cathedrals, and even outer space, demanding self‑immolation and sacrifice to press onward. The game offers no safety; only a pale light and a twisting, transmuting hand to carve a path through relentless darkness.
The experience is single‑player, supports full controllers, and includes Steam achievements and Family Sharing. Developed by Housefire, it runs on Windows via Steam, delivering an unsettling spiral of endless eclipse that tests resolve at every turn.

Narrative Journey
The Wanderer’s quest is defined by a desperate search for “Her,” whose weak light serves as the only beacon. The story unfolds across varied, nightmarish locales, each presenting a unique path toward escape.
The narrative emphasizes sacrifice—immolating oneself and offering anything—to maintain momentum. Even if the light proves a lure, it remains the Wanderer’s sole hope within the eclipse.
- Observe environmental cues; they often hint at the next direction.
- Consider the story’s theme of sacrifice when confronting obstacles.

Atmospheric Setting
Eclipsium immerses players in endless darkness where senses dull and everything fades. Each location—tombs, flesh cathedrals, space—contributes to a spiraling, oppressive atmosphere.
The pale light acts as a visual anchor, guiding the Wanderer through the anguished eclipse while the world constantly threatens to consume him.
- Use the pale light as a reference point to maintain orientation.
- Listen for subtle audio changes that may signal hidden passages.

Transmuting Hand Mechanic
The Wanderer wields a twisting, transmuting hand capable of carving through obstacles. This power is the primary tool for navigating the hostile environments.
The hand’s ability to reshape matter underscores the game’s theme of transformation, allowing players to forge a way forward where conventional means fail.
- Experiment with the hand’s range to discover how it interacts with different surfaces.
- Watch for visual feedback when the hand engages an object.

Steam Achievements
Eclipsium includes Steam achievements that track player milestones. These serve as optional goals, encouraging exploration and mastery of the game’s challenges.
Achievements are tied to in‑game actions, offering a sense of progression without affecting core gameplay.
- Review the achievement list to set personal objectives.
- Focus on unique actions, such as using the hand in creative ways, as you work toward the achievements.
05 / THE GUIDE
Full Controller Support
The title provides full controller support, allowing players to experience the horror using a gamepad. This includes compatibility with DualShock controllers.
Controller support does not imply any additional input features beyond standard gamepad functionality, but it ensures the experience is accessible to those preferring controllers.
- Test both analog sticks for comfortable movement in tight corridors.
- If the controller feels sluggish, experiment with your grip and playstyle to stay comfortable in tense corridors.
