Vapourware Eitr - Norse-themed pixel art Dark Souls-inspired hack and slash thingie

[Curratum]

Seeing that it's a pixel art game that has been in production for at least 6 years, I'd say it's as dead as a doornail.

I preferred the first gameplay video from 2014

 

[Morality Games]

I'd play an isometric Dark Souls, although I'm not 100% sure that's what they're going for.

Think you can remove the Diablo portion of the game description, since they removed the loot system and went full Souls clone. May as well check this one off the list, if it even releases.

I was very excited for this... like 4 years ago.

This always makes me think of Eiter (German for pus). Not the best connotation.

 

[Yaar Podshipnik]

Yeah, pretty much lost interest at this point. Being this long in dev also doesn't put much faith in any kind of post-release (if they ever release that is) support.

 

[pakoito]

Any day now

This always makes me think of Eiter (German for pus). Not the best connotation.

Surprisingly, I think the connotation is actually true. In Norse Mythology Eitr is supposedly the venom produced by the World Serpent, and is very poisonous. Makes sense.

For some reason the store page is unlisted.



FWIW they say this is still in development:



I'm wondering if there was something with Devolver, the publisher.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'm upset there's nothing released yet.

 

[LESS T_T]

Their reasoning of unlisting apparently. https://steamcommunity.com/app/350050/discussions/0/2965019884824211885/#c2965021152086868315

"The page is just unlisted, but it still exists in Steam, just not public at the moment, the developers are looking into what happened be rest assured that the game isn't cancelled, probably just some snafu at Devolver's end of things"

"Yep no worries it's just hidden at the moment until there's a solid plan in place for the release of the game"

Eitr's Steam listing has been made private as it is under heavy development and not ready to be advertised, you can still find the listing here:

It won't appear in your steam wishlist until public, but is still wishlistable and will record the date accurately.

Btw the game page on Devolver's website went missing around Summer according to Wayback Machine log: https://www.devolverdigital.com/games/eitr

Maybe Devolver thought they had it enough while swimming in the pool of money brought by Fall Guys.

Once upon a time, I was excited for this.

This didn't get abandoned? What?

Dedication autism.

 

[Contagium]

Removed this off my wishlist ages ago, completely forgot about it. Glad to see there's a sign of life

 

[Major_Blackhart]

I'd been thinking about it lately but figured it died. Shame.

I mean, the first post on this was 8 years ago in 2014. What the fuck.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

Does anyone actually know what happened to this whole thing?

 

[agris]

looks like they finally decided to make a game

 

[Ironmonk]

Not sure about that...

Notice: At the request of the publisher, EITR is unlisted on the Steam store and will not appear in search.

As far as I remember from previous videos, this new video don't show anything new or significant progress over the past.

 

[Major_Blackhart]

No it doesn't. Most likely an initial attempt to remind us it's around and simply hopefully drive up interest ahead of an early access release.

 

[Contagium]

Maybe they should rename it, start a new Kickstarter and ask for 100k, and string people along with a slew of excuses for five years until disappearing into the ether again?

In before Kickstarter for Ethr.
