The First Lay of Eddais is a cinematic and interactive short story that falls somewhere closer to the dark fantasy genre but in the horror spectrum of RPG Maker genre gameplay.

You will play as Eddais, Prince of Wednesbury, who after having witnessed the sacking of a cathedral in his homeland by Vikings, the murder of everyone he loved, including his betrothed, Aelithia, is now the sole survivor of the incident. A year later and wracked by awful nightmares, Eddais ventures out to the ancient fastness where she was buried to rest, to visit her grave and to make peace. But what he finds is that life and death are not so simple.

Choose to put your points in Athletics, Perception, or Survival, skills which will allow you to explore Leigham Meadows, to reach the grave of your beloved Aelithia, and find either peace or not with death in the end.

This menu-less, combat-less game features a HUD, full control of item use from the keyboard, a torchlight system, a smart jumping system, and an herb gathering system, an on screen die roll, Dungeons and Dragons-like ability checks, a dark ambient and dungeon synth sound track, and more.

While the game emphasizes writing and over all aims to tell its story, it does so while allowing the player to interact with the world that is brought to life in bursts of cutscene. Most objects in the world respond with text when explored, and puzzles, secrets, and the lore of the old gods remain to be found in the depths of the Wednesbury Tunnels.
