About the game

What is Eila and Something Shiny?

Will one curious rabbit discover the truth behind her glowing obsession or lose herself to the journey? In the quiet shadows of an ancient forest, a small rabbit named Eila spots a glimmer on the distant horizon, something shiny that beckons with both promise and mystery. You take on her paws, guiding her through a rich, emotional solo adventure that blends narrative choice, resource management, and scenario-driven exploration into one unforgettable journey. Eila and Something Shiny is a compact but deep narrative solitaire board game for 1 player (and 1+ if you choose to play cooperatively), structured around a five-chapter arc of branching story paths that change based on your decisions. With each choice, Eila’s fate shifts, shaping encounters, unlocking new locations, and leading to dramatically different endings. Good luck; Eila’s fate is in your hands! Please note: This story explores some mature themes that may be emotional for some children.
