Welcome to the world of Eleanor & Neith
SmokeJaguar Studios is home of Eleanor Thorne, a detective who sees what’s hidden, and her partner Neith, the woman who spent a century in the underworld and came back with its secrets.
Together they solve the mysteries ordinary detectives cannot: the haunted, the cursed, the things that should have stayed buried.
The SmokeJaguar Trilogy
Eleanor Thorne’s story begins in a cursed mansion in Gothic England — a bloodline bound to a hunger for power, and a woman who refuses to be her name. Across three games, she travels to the ends of the earth to break the curse for good:
- Eleanor: The Bloodline Curse — Gothic England. Eleanor unmakes the Binding that has held her family for a hundred years.
- Eleanor: The Scales of Ma’at — Egypt. Eleanor’s heart is weighed against the feather of truth in the hall of the gods.
- Eleanor: The Shadow of the Jaguar — the Aztec jungle. Eleanor confronts the source of the bloodline itself — and the jaguar that guards it.
The Mansion Mysteries
After the curse is broken, Eleanor and Neith make the mansion their home — and turn it into a base for solving the strange mysteries of Victorian England. A haunted mirror. A cursed family. A village with a bargain it will not speak of.
The tone
Cozy-dark. Gothic mystery with a human heart. The dark is real, but it is always offset by the warmth between Eleanor and Neith — the light that makes the shadows worth facing.
