Crunchyroll’s Latest ‘The Star Named EOS’ Lets You Explore a Ghibli-Inspired Mystery

The Star Named EOS is now available on mobile via the Crunchyroll Game Vault. Developed by Silver Lining Studio, this narrative-driven puzzle adventure first launched on PC and consoles in July 2024. The same team brought you Behind the Frame: The Finest Scenery, another beautifully hand-painted journey.

What’s the Story in The Star Named EOS?

You play as Dei, a young photographer unraveling the mystery behind his mother’s disappearance. He begins noticing strange inconsistencies in the old travel photos she sent him as a child—leading him on a deeply emotional and enigmatic quest.

The story unfolds like flipping through a photo album, where each page reveals something unexpected. By examining the scenes in the photos, you’ll reconstruct them through intuitive environmental puzzles. Most challenges are delicate, thoughtful, and satisfying.

Visually, The Star Named EOS is breathtaking. Its hand-painted aesthetic creates a rich, immersive atmosphere, and many locations feel like stepping into a Studio Ghibli film. The characters, especially in brief cutscenes, evoke a sense of quiet wonder.

Why not explore The Star Named EOS and experience its stunning visuals for yourself?

The Star Named EOS supports controller input on mobile and includes multiple language options. To play through Crunchyroll Game Vault, you’ll need a Mega Fan Premium or Ultimate Membership.

A free trial is available, so you can try it out by downloading it from the Google Play Store. This narrative-puzzle hybrid features thoughtful design, elevating it beyond simple fetch quests.
