About this game
Eclipse of Eldergaard is a dark fantasy, time-bound action-adventure where every second counts. You are thrown into a cursed world teetering on the edge of destruction, tasked with a single, desperate mission: close the four hell gates before Umbra, the fallen Wukong of Shadow, returns to consume the overworld.
The Legend of Light and Shadow
Long ago, the divine chose two legendary brothers:
Solion, the Wukong of Light, destined to protect the overworld.
Umbra, the Wukong of Shadow, bound to rule the underworld.
But greed devoured Umbra’s heart. He denied the divine order, opening the gates of hell to unleash his wrath upon mankind. Cities burned, skies bled crimson, and hope nearly perished. To end the slaughter, Solion battled his brother in an earth-shattering duel. Neither could win, until Solion forged a desperate solution, a crystal seal that bound Umbra into eternal imprisonment.
With his final breath, Umbra cursed the world:
“Every 33 years, on the Bloody Day, my legions will rise again… and my prison will weaken.”
Your Role: Ren Huo, Disciple of Light
You are Ren Huo, the youngest and weakest disciple chosen by Solion’s legacy. Unlike the First Disciple, whose strength rivaled legends, you are untested, fragile, yet burdened with destiny.
On this Bloody Day, the seal weakens. Hell gates crack open across Eldergaard known as Crimson Valley, spewing demons. The First Disciple of Solion watches you from the shadows, mocking your every step, testing whether you deserve the mantle of Light.
The world does not need another legend.
It needs someone willing to bleed against time itself.
Race Against Time
The seal weakens every moment you linger.
Your mission: close all three hell gates before the crystal prison shatters.
Fail to seal the gates → Umbra escapes. He will strike you down in two blows, one dodged by fate, the second ending your journey.
Succeed in sealing them → Umbra remains trapped, and light returns to Eldergaard.
Every playthrough is a test of endurance, timing, and decision-making. The clock never stops.
Power of the Crystals
Scattered across the land:
Crystal Shards → used to heal and stabilize Umbra’s weakening seal.
Four Sacred Crystals → awaken your hidden potential, unlocking your full disciple powers.
Without them, you are vulnerable. With them, you may stand a chance when the final strikes.
The Presence of the First Disciple
Throughout your journey, you are watched.
The First Disciple of Light, the strongest warrior Solion ever trained, appears not to aid you, but to taunt you. His words cut as deep as the claws of Umbra’s demons, reminding you of your weakness.
But why does he watch?
Is it judgment, or preparation for something darker?
Key Features
Intense Time-Limited Gameplay – every second matters as the seal decays.
Hell Gate Encounters – face swarms of demons, each gate summons danger.
Crystal Progression System – collect shards to heal the seal and sacred crystals to unlock your true disciple form.
Dynamic Combat – dodge, strike, and survive as waves of enemies test your skill.
Two Possible Endings – fail and witness Umbra’s freedom… succeed and secure Eldergaard’s fragile hope.
Atmospheric World – one overworld map, one task-based mode, both filled with dread, fire, and the crimson skies of the Bloody Day.
The Question of Hope
Eclipse of Eldergaard is not a story of triumph. It is a story of survival, sacrifice, and inevitability.
Solion vanished into myth. Umbra waits for his chains to break.
Now, the burden falls on you.
Will you rise against the Bloody Day, or become just another shadow in the eclipse?
Estimated playtime: ~1 hour.

Before the Eclipse: The Truth Eldergaard Buried
The World Before the EclipseLong before the world turned red, Eldergaard was quiet.Not peaceful. Just… balanced.People lived their lives without knowing what held everything together. The sky stayed calm. The ground stayed whole. Time moved forward the way it always had.That balance wasn’t natural.It was maintained.Hidden beneath the land were ancient seals, structures no one remembered building. They weren’t made to protect people. They were made to contain something worse.And they are failing. The Day Everything ChangedWhen the Eclipse came, it didn’t arrive with fire or screams.It arrived with time.Days began to feel shorter. Decisions felt heavier. Places that once felt safe started to rot from the inside. Gates, impossible, unnatural gates, began appearing where they shouldn’t.Most people ran.Some tried to fight.None of them understood what they were fighting against. What Lies BeneathEvery gate leads deeper than it should.Every sealed path hides something unfinished.The deeper you go, the clearer it becomes: This wasn’t an accident. This wasn’t chaos.Someone built this collapse.And something down there is still working.Waiting. Why You MatterYou are not a chosen hero. You are not immune. You are running out of time like everyone else.But you can move where others can’t.You can close what others fear to touch.And if you fail… the world doesn’t pause. It continues to fall. Your TaskSeal the gates. Survive the pressure. Uncover what was buried, and decide whether it should stay that way.Some answers are hidden. Some paths should not exist. Some places were never meant to be found.But they are there.And they are watching. Eclipse of Eldergaard isn’t about saving the world because you’re special. It’s about saving it before time runs out, and learning what the world was built on in the first place.The question isn’t can you win.It’s how much are you willing to lose before you stop trying?Read full article on Community Announcements (Black Heart)Patch NotesOfficial
