How it feels

You explore a silent Greek village, solving cryptic puzzles while a creeping dread builds around a cult's forgotten ritual.

What players say

Players call Eleusis a short walking simulator with a lot of backtracking and key collecting, where objectives are unclear and progress often depends on stumbling onto items. The combat is clunky with instant-death rock throwing, and while some enjoy the early 2010s horror nostalgia and atmosphere, many find it boring, buggy, and not actually scary.
