A cozy, handmade stop-motion adventure... unless the maze takes a darker turn... Guide your wooden mouse through a labyrinth full of puzzles & unknown dangers in search of an exit to a happier place.

Check out the game here.

Quote
In a cozy, quiet nest at the heart of a stone-and-wood labyrinth, a clockwork mouse sleeps — and dreams of the outside world.

When it awakens, the only way forward is through. To escape, the mouse must rely on clever thinking, keen senses, and hope — despite past failures. The maze is filled with locked doors, cryptic puzzles, and lurking dangers. But maybe, this time, freedom is possible.

"It's a lovely-looking thing - a 'true stop-motion game' "

PC Gamer's Ted Litchfield wrote, on previewing Éalú, that it's

"...Somewhat unsettling, like a cross between Myst and Wallace and Gromit⁠—cozy, but also lonely, with flashes of something sinister here and there."

"...I think Beyond the Bark is cooking with a really special, singular atmosphere."

Éalú is a Point & Click Puzzle/Adventure Game Where You:
Guide a wooden, clockwork mouse from the maze’s center to its outer edges.

Solve environmental puzzles, uncover clues, and have dangerous encounters.

Eat cheese!

Discover the secrets of the maze — and the story hidden beneath it.

Lore!!
This game is a spiritual sequel to "Tomcat Disposables" by Will Wood. If you're keen to know more, said short film can be seen by searching for Tomcat Disposables on YouTube, & gives backstory for our beloved mouse.

An Artistic Experience Lovingly Made by a Tiny Team
Based on playtests we anticipate that, for most players, Éalú will be a focused 2 to 5 hour long experience. We put a lot of thought & care into our wordless story & it's themes which are expressed in tandem with phenomenal music, all with a goal of creating a game that feels like controlling a character in a gorgeous silent film.

Éalú is a true stop-motion game. Every animation was captured via photography frame-by-frame using real sets, hand-crafted props, and a physical wooden mouse. Over 512 video clips were painstakingly made by a single animator — mostly in a garden shed — and brought to life in Unity by one developer carefully ensuring that each movement flowed into the next.

All of the music was composed and recorded specifically for the game by a single composer, and every illustration was drawn by hand.

Éalú was made with no budget & no crowdfunding. Just 4 people passionate about the project:
