Eternal Love: A Fusion of Platforming and Atmospheric Horror

Okay, so I was wandering around online—lost, really—and found myself buried in this ridiculous amount of platformer games. It’s everywhere, like, you can’t swing a virtual cat without hitting one. It’s kinda wild. And honestly, how does any game stand out in this jungle of pixels? You’ve gotta be unique, right? This led me to Love Eternal at PAX East 2025. Seriously, what a ride.

Picture this: Love Eternal is crafted by sibling devs who took their Oregon-to-LA life shift (and those freaky wildfires) and poured it into a game. It’s spiced with a good splash of Perfect Blue vibes. Not even kidding. Got this psychological narrative that sticks with you, like chewing gum under a desk.

So, you start as Maya. Just chilling at home with family, and bam—the phone rings. She comes back and poof, everyone’s vanished, and the world outside? Totally ancient and broken. It’s like Alice in Wonderland meets Inception and I’m just thinking, “Really? Did not see that coming.”

Oh, right, so Maya—she’s got this gravity-flipping thing going on. Ceiling walking, defying the rules with style. But, haha, there’s a catch. You gotta touch down before flipping again. No superhero antics allowed in midair. Red stones, though, they let you cheat a bit. Flip, grab, and flip again—it’s a puzzle within a puzzle. The game’s trickier than a toddler’s logic. Forgot how much I loved these little indie nightmares, VVVVVV and all that (I swear, the soundtrack’s giving me flashbacks).

But the devs really want you to sweat a bit, navigate these death traps with your brain fully on. And the story? More secretive than my grandma’s recipes. Something about escaping a memory castle and a god being, you know, lonely? Probably a metaphor or just my imagination going wild. Anyway, it’s only four hours of gameplay, but promises to mess with your head. Coming out soon for all the usual platforms—Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC. Keep your eyes peeled. Just hope it doesn’t fry my brain.
