Games by Erdkinder Students:

Inn Lore by Logan

The (hopefully) first game set in the world of Eihu (books coming soon). The events of this game ARE canon to the lore of Eihu, but certain elements of the game (such as the eye thing) are not. 

Open the project page of the game for instructions and tips. 

Backstory: you are a private eye (a privately-employed detective). You heard something weird last night as you were going home, but you weren't sure what it was... You decided to ask the innkeeper if he heard anything.
