Take a trip down to cosy-town this week, courtesy of The Star Named EOS. A new puzzle title in which you’ll use photography to uncover solutions, this delightful indie starred in the recent Wholesome Direct, already giving you a decent clue as to how chilled-out and laid-back a time you’ll have.
Painting a Thousand Words
Now available on Xbox, PlayStation, Switch and PC, The Star Named EOS is all about capturing the little, but often most beautiful, moments in life. Taking a photo of anything is enough to freeze it in time; capture the experience you find yourself in.
As young photographer Dei, you’ll embark on a journey to understand the persistence absence of your mother, told through letters sent to you from her, and importantly by recreating old photos left behind.
By opening up the camera, you’ll reveal clues to puzzles that you wouldn’t see with the naked eye. In turn, this will allow you to tease apart the puzzles which are littered across each panorama you find yourself in.
Oh, and make sure you take the time to read our full review of The Star Named EOS on Xbox.

The Star Named EOS features the voice talent of actress Suzie Yeung, who voiced the mischievous Yuffie Kisaragi in Final Fantasy VII Remake and FFVII Rebirth, as well as numerous other roles. Commenting on the experience, Yeung had this to say:
“The Star Named EOS is a beautiful, immersive game that has charming music and visuals. The atmosphere is very soothing, self-reflecting, and a little mysterious. It’s one of those games that I would enjoy winding down and playing at the end of a long day. Working with the team has been a delight! Recording it was relaxing and easygoing, and everyone was very kind and had great input. It was a collaborative process, and the team really took their time to make sure everything felt just right. I could tell they put a lot of love into their work and look forward to their future success!”
