Visit foreboding locations, solve intriguing puzzles and find clues to uncover mysteries about the island. You’ll have to be quick and cunning to survive. Do you have what it takes to save your loved one before it's too late?

Key features:
- Story-driven - Enola may be a horror game, but from gameplay elements to level design, Enola pushes the boundaries of the genre with a captivating and intriguing love story
- Horror Without Monsters - Enola pushes the emotional boundaries of the player, putting them in an isolated, defenseless state of mind.
- Unconstrained Mechanics - The mix of first person mechanics and old-school adventure games allows players to keep track of clues and figure out puzzles without the constraints of traditional point-and-click interfaces.
- Frightenly Calculated Puzzles - Death traps meant to put players' nerves to the test. Some puzzles are the usual "fail and try again" ones, but in other cases, failing can mean death.
- Superb Voice Acting and Musical Score. - Enola now offers a spine chilling soundtrack and immersive voice acting and sound effects. Superb voice acting and musical score.
Developer’s game description:
We don't want Enola to be a game about fighting monsters or zombies, and we also want to stay away from any “supernatural” type of horror because we're interested on a more “human” kind of fear, because humans are capable of horrible things, and we really want to explore that with this game.
FAQ:
- Get a *dx*.dll device error? Install DX9. You can use the included redist in Enola\Binaries\Redist\UE3Redist.exe
- Get a xinput*.dll error? Install DirectX 9 (even if your system includes DirectX 10 or 11). You can use the included redist in Enola\Binaries\Redist\UE3Redist.exe
- Get a msvcr100.dll error? Install Visual C++ 2008 redist (x86 version, even if you have a x64 system). You can use the included redist in Enola\Binaries\Redist\vcredist_x86 .exe
- Will my computer run Enola? We're trying to make a game that requires modest hardware to run, so anyone who can run older Unreal Engine based games can run Enola. If unsure, you can download the demo and see if it runs.
- How much game can we expect when it's finished (in gameplay hours)? We can't really say. Some people may figure out puzzles really quickly while others take more time. We do want to make sure there is enough game, and replay value, in Enola so we constantly rethink and redesign things in the game.
- Will you make a Mac version? Since we use UDK we can make a Mac version, but we don't have any Mac computer to test the actual build so we make sure it actually runs before making it available to you.

Latest News: Enola alpha 0.6 is available
1 comment by TheDomaginarium on Jan 27th, 2013
Alpha 0.6 has been released. Here you can find the changes found in that release.
- The most notable change is the slightly different look of the island. The lighting is different, and also the thick fog is back. The atmosphere has been tweaked to simulate a foggy nearly-nighttime environment. There are also a few new things to find on the island, and more stuff will be added later.
- Some lighting and visual changes in the strip club level, and razor wire, to make it more unnerving. Likewise, fog has been added to the all of the levels, to create an eerie atmosphere.
- There's a new area to explore on the island: the underground caves. Those caves are still a work in progress, but they deliver more info about the story.
- Some doors in the abandoned house on the island can be opened, and you will find interesting things behind those doors as the development of the game progresses.
- The church has a new area, a "numbers trap." Just like other traps, failing to solve this one equals death.
- We changed the level progression a little bit. Now, you can't visit the Strip club level until you get a key to unlock it. Also, the underground caves need to be unlocked.
- The totem near the beginning was moved to the beach. Also, there are new story logs near the beginning of the game to hint what's basically going on, as well as your ultimate goal in the game.
- Final-quality characters are making it into Enola. The dead woman by the river, the twitching women, and many other corpses could be considered "final." Many characters are still not final and will be replaced later. Also, more characters with different outfits will also make it into the game in future versions.
- The puzzle in the big cellar area in the strip club level has been changed a little, so it's easier to understand that you need 4 golden pieces to unlock it. Now, one of the pieces is already there, next to 3 empty spaces hinting you need 3 more of those pieces.
- We're welcoming Studio Daisho as sound designers for Enola. They have been doing great job bringing the game audio to life. Some of those effects are already in the game, and more sound content will be added as the development progresses.
- There is a lot more voice content. The goal is to add voices to every text log in the game, but most of those are still voice-less.
- Bug fixes, and optimizations. You may still experience slow-downs from time to time (mostly on the island), but those will be fixed as the game reaches its final form and no more changes are made.
- The game has a new cursor. The double-knife cursor will be the iconic cursor for all the interfaces in Enola.
- The treasure boxes (save points) now emit a music tune to let you know when a treasure box is nearby.
- You can check for updates from the launcher. If an update is available, you get a message so you can go to the site you got the game from (or the download client) and download the new build.

UPDATE -HELP! Same goes here-same error and I am more than halfway through game, and it ran flawlessly until I downloaded the update. I am getting the same error as he is! OH NO! I am so into this game right now, you gotta help me get it to play! :(
P-I tried to do what you said in the redist folder, and it started to install then that had an error that went to fast to read. The only work I caught in the message was x64.I couldn't read the rest before it went away! Is there another way to download the version of Directx9 I may be missing?I am actually pretty sure I do have that though because when I started playing games, I had to update my version because I needed 10x and had 9x. I am not positive though-so it is worth a shot! Anything to be able to play again :!
I just installed the latest update through the desura client and get Built with UDK stopped working. The game was working fine a few days ago. I'm running Win 7 64 bit
Hello. I don't know how the Desura client updates the game, so I need to ask. Does the client just "update" files or does it reinstalls the entire game? I am thinking it may just updated files that were "changed" and not reinstalling the whole thing, causing it to break :-/
Can you try reinstalling the game and then installing it again? If you need to keepyour save file go to Enola\Binaries\Win32 and copy the savedata.bin somewhere else, then uninstall-and-reinstall the game, and then put the savedata.bin file back in. I hope this helps
I just uninstalled and reinstalled the game and I'm getting the same error.. reinstalling doesn't fix it.
I just got the game "for myself" and see if I can spot the problem.
BTW have you tried by downloading the "Enola EXE Installer" directly from the product page?
Desura.com
Does the problem happen with this version as well, or just the one you get from the Desura client?
"Failed to create the D3D9 Device! this can happen if the desktop is locked
Existing"
What can I do?
That usually means you don't have DX9 installed. The thing about DirectX is that installing DX11 or DX10 will not install DX9. However you can browse to c:\Enola\Binaries\Redist\ and there you will find UE3Redist.exe that installs all the required libraries including DX9
was the old demo, the new (0.7) works fine
Sorry I skipped your response! Anyway glad it works now, but in case it happens again, my answer above can do the trick!
