Weavers, we've made it: Eternal Strands is released on all platforms! Play as Brynn, a young but fearless Weaver, determined to recover her people's cultural home in the debut fantasy action-adventure title from Yellow Brick Games, a new independent studio founded by industry veterans.

Armed with powerful magical abilities and an arsenal of magical weapons, face enemies that range from humanoid constructs to towering beasts. Use the environment and temperature to your advantage in battles against a diverse roster of fantastical creatures, like turning a dragon's fiery breath against ice-covered minions. Climb every surface and use arcane skills to create new paths. Explore the world in pursuit of the Enclave's lost mysteries and challenge giant titans on your journey. Here's everything you need to know before you meet your Weaverband.




What are the system requirements for the game?
Here's a handy visual with both minimum and recommended specs (see above). These apply to both the demo and the full game.


Will my PC demo progress carry over to the full game?
Yes. Eternal Strands doesn't support cross-saves though, so your progress will carry over if your demo and full game are on the same platform (EGS or Steam).

How much is the game?
Eternal Strands will be priced at $39.99USD/$49.99CAD. Regional prices are also available across platforms.

Which languages are supported?
English and French have both voice over and subtitles, while Japanese, Brazilian Portuguese, Simplified Chinese, and German have subtitle support.

Please note: Korean language is only available on STOVE and consoles at this time.

What accessibility options are in the game?
You'll be able to browse through all of our accessibility options in the game's menus. Some settings you can expect to see are: difficulty options, motion blur, subtitle size, colour blind modes, and more.

Can I play the game on Steamdeck?
You can! We are not yet verified (still working on it!) but can confirm that Eternal Strands is playable on Steamdeck.

Where can I learn more about the gameplay loop and mechanics before I dive in?

I played the demo and I can confirm, my RTX 3070 is nowhere near 60 FPS when using DLSS Performance @ 4K (1080p upscaled). Needs to run Ultra Performance (720p upscaled). Graphical options have little effect on frame rates, except for global illumination which swings frame rates 30%.

It actually doesn't look terrible with the extreme upscale due to the game's soft and painterly art style, except for the particle effects which are a vague blur--maybe DLSS4 could help here. The graphics aren't anything special, so I guess they just didn't have the time or budget to optimize.
