Love Eternal, the unconventional horror platformer about escaping the domain of a selfish god from developer brlka and publisher Ysbryd Games (WORLD OF HORROR, VA-11 Hall-A), revealed a crumbling, monolithic realm in today’s IGN Live Showcase. Defy gods and gravity in Love Eternal on PC via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5|4 in 2025..
Teenagers have plenty to deal with, but Maya has more to fuel her anger than her peers. Between alienation from her family, a recent squabble with her friend Lacey, and her recent abduction at the hands of an ancient god, Maya has a horrific journey ahead of her. Traverse the god’s terrarium, manipulate gravity through a puzzle-filled Castle, chase down and confront her captor, and escape this lonesome fate.
Bend gravity to Maya’s will, amplifying her agility to leap through the challenging chambers throughout The Castle’s labyrinth. Swiftly jump gaping chasms, deadly spikes, scalding lasers, and more with precise springs and flips in a precise platforming experience. Stay wary of the god’s watchful eye, lest reality shifts underfoot.
Navigate eerie and atmospheric Iron Age landscapes, from ruined castle structures to deep sea caverns to a dark reflection of Maya’s own home, listening to the unsettling tones echoing through the time-worn structures. Face uncanny encounters with Maya’s family, Lacey, and other wandering prisoners to uncover the god’s true motivations.
“As lifelong developers, we’ve always aimed to create experiences that challenge people’s fundamental assumptions about what a game can be,” said Toby Alden, designer at brlka. “Love Eternal is our first longform title, and we’re confident it’s going to surprise even experienced players in ways they could have never imagined!”
Love Eternal will leap onto PCs via Steam, Nintendo Switch, Xbox Series X|S, and PlayStation 5|4 in 2025 with English, Simplified Chinese, Japanese, Korean, Brazilian Portuguese, French, German, Spanish, and Russian language support.
