It's been almost three months since the release of Ereban: Shadow Legacy and we're really happy with all the support and super useful feedback that you've given us. Thank you so much!
One of the most recurrent topics has been regarding the difficulty of the game. Some of you found the game too easy, while others found it too difficult. So, in order to make the game enjoyable for all playstyles, we're so excited to show you what we've been working on during the past month: new difficulty modes!
The objetive of this update is to adapt the gameplay to each of your preferences and previous experience with stealth. First time trying a stealth game? The easy mode is perfect for you. You've played plenty of stealth games before? The hard mode will provide a more challenging experience for you!
Besides, this update also includes a Hardcore mode for the most reckless players. This mode has the same settings as the Hard mode, BUT with permadeath and no saving options. Complete the full game in a row, the eight chapters without dying a single time, if you have the guts.
The difficulty mode can be selected after you start a New Game, changed from the Options Menu at any time, or selected from the Chapters Menu if you want to replay a chapter with a different difficulty mode. The Hardcore mode gets unlocked after you complete the game for the first time. If you had already completed the game before this update, you'll see the Hardcore mode is already available for you if you start a New Game.
Here are some of the parameters that change depending on the selected difficulty:
Enemy perception, reactivity and speed
Loot chances
Ability cooldowns and crafting costs
Grenades time, radious and rate, and smoke grenades stun time
Shadow Veil and Shadow Doom are less or more difficult to time to use
In Easy mode, there's no death by falling
In Hard mode, stamina only refills in shadows
New rank available in Hard mode (Golden S) and new achievement: getting a Golden S in all chapters
And here is the complete patch notes with the rest of fixes and adjustments that are included in this update:
Difficulty Update: it adds Easy, Hard and Hardcore difficulty modes. Each difficulty setting applies general tweaks to game mechanics and to the enemy perception and behavior.
Fixed a building in Chapter IV that you could go through
Fixed a bug that blocked looting enemies if the body was on a sewer
Fixed a bug where SYMs got stuck in front of an open door in Chapter V
Fixed a bug that was causing the SYMs from a sidequest in Chapter III to stay neutralized even if you died or restarted the checkpoint
Fixed a bug that was causing some minor materials to not be counted if you picked them up when replaying a chapter
We're also still working on a fix for the stuttering issue that happens in some computers. As soon as we manage to fix it, we'll update it and let you know.
To celebrate this update, and on the occasion of the Steam Summer Sale, for the first time the game has a 25% discount! This is the perfect moment to grab your copy of Ereban if you still don't have it, so don't miss out!
If you encounter any problem with this update, please email us to contact@babyrobotgames.com. We also recommend you join our Discord! We're pretty active there and it'll definitely be faster to solve any doubts you might have.
Thank you all, we hope you enjoy the new update!

Ereban: Shadow Legacy is OUT NOW!
Hello everyone!
We’re so excited that the day has finally come! Ereban: Shadow Legacy is OUT NOW!
We can’t wait for you to embark on this adventure with Ayana, in her pursuit of the truth behind Helios and the lost race of the Ereban.
Ereban is our first game, and as could not be otherwise, is also our love letter to all those great stealth games we grew up with. Combining traditional stealth with the Shadow Merge mechanic and all its possibilities has been very challenging, but very fun to develop and play with too.
For all of you who are playing Ereban, we strongly encourage you to join our Discord server for bug reporting, technical support, dev updates, or just to chat with the team and the rest of the community.
Thank you so much for your support throughout these five years: to the community, everyone involved in the project somehow, our friends and families. With its ups and downs, this has been an incredible journey!
We hope you enjoy the game ❤️

Ereban: Shadow Legacy launches on Steam April 10.
We’re super happy to announce that, after 5 years of hard work, our debut title Ereban: Shadow Legacy will be arriving to Steam on April 10.
Ereban: Shadow Legacy puts you in control of female protagonist Ayana,the last descendant of the Ereban race, possessing the unique ability to merge and roam freely within the shadows. As you uncover the enigmatic connection between the cryptic energy megacorporation Helios and her people, you will master the combination of Ayana's agility with her mystical shadow powers and high-tech gadgets to either cleverly avoid or mercilessly defeat anything and anyone that stands in her way in pursuit of the truth.
Drawing inspiration from games such as Metal Gear, Splatoon, Aragami, and Assassin's Creed, Ereban introduces an innovative mechanic to the stealth genre: the Shadow Merge. This ability allows Ayana to merge with the shadows, providing her with an extraordinary level of mobility and strategic options.
When we started this adventure 5 years ago, we couldn’t imagine that what started as a love letter to stealth games would grow this much and turn into such a solid project. It has been a long and difficult journey, pandemic included, but after a lot of love and effort we are finally here. It is a dream come true that this is going to be our first game for many of us.
We cannot thank you enough for your support throughout this long journey, and we cannot wait for you to enjoy the game on which we've poured our hearts.
We are very excited by the response to our Next Fest demo. After this long journey in the shadows, finally being able to watch you playing has been amazing. Thank you very much for playing and for the feedback you gave us during the event, it's super valuable for us 💙 We keep working hard to bring you the best possible version.
In the meantime, Steam Dinos vs Robots Fest is happening and we are very happy to be part of it! To celebrate, we re-activated our demo with an updated version that fixes some of the bugs and feedback you gave us. But most importantly, we have prepared a little game for you! Participate, and you'll be able to win a copy of Ereban: Shadow Legacy when released!
We'll play a full run aiming to get the Merciless medal by killing 100% of the robots, we'll explore the whole area to get all the collectables and materials, and we'll try some of the gadgets and powers that are available in the demo ✨
Hope you enjoy!
