About the game

Eleusis is a 3d first-person adventure game for Windows developed by Nocturnal Works using the technology of the unreal engine. It takes place in a seemingly abandoned village in Greece where the player character, while trying to seek refuge, finds himself in the center of a whirlwind of mysterious events.

The value story

Across all 70 discounts in the 13 years tracked, the median cut is 85 percent, about 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended 11 days ago.

It is pricier than 83 percent of its genre, and less well reviewed than 97 percent. Machinika: Museum ($1.19, scores 87) outscores it, and so does The Ball ($9.99, scores 35). Both sit among its closest neighbours.

This game had the potential but it failed in many aspects the description of game is all wrong this is not even mild horror it is walking simulator with bugs and bunch of locked houses and key collecting whole game not to mention you do not even know what to do or where to go they did this to prolong this very short game if you enable npc they spawn in some buggy location that can get you killed in instant so all in...
