What it is
The Eternal Cylinder is an adventure and survival game from ACE Team, set on a dangerous alien planet. You guide a herd of small creatures called Trebhum through surreal environments filled with unfamiliar plants and animals. Their ability to adapt is central to the journey: mutations grant physical traits and abilities that can help them face predators, solve puzzles and move through new areas. The world includes four biomes, and exploration takes place under the threat of the Cylinder, an ancient rolling structure that crushes the landscape as it advances. Its passage can topple trees and flatten hills and mountains, changing the terrain and removing places to hide. The game is single-player and includes Steam achievements, full controller support, Steam Cloud, trading cards and Family Sharing. It was developed by ACE Team and published by Good Shepherd Entertainment. The listed Steam platform is Windows, and the game’s listed release date is October 13, 2022.
