Ysbryd Games and brlka have confirmed a release window for their unconventional horror platformer Love Eternal on Nintendo Switch.
When Maya leaves the dinner table to answer a phone call, she returns to find her family has disappeared, her home has been destroyed, and her surroundings have been transmuted into an unfamiliar, eerie landscape reminiscent of the Iron Age.
Dashing through a crumbling labyrinthine castle, you must seek a way out of your strange predicament and confront the powerful god responsible for your abduction. Planning your jumps carefully will let you use environmental boons that trigger Maya’s ability to flip gravity in midair, helping you avoid razor-sharp spikes, shifting lasers, and other deadly obstacles.
Take in vast, desolate landscapes as disquieting ambient tones haunt the god’s domain. Gaze at imposing, yet lonely, statues throughout the realm’s many environments, from undersea caverns to uncanny copies of Maya’s suburban home. Brave encounters with monstrous doppelgängers of Maya’s family and friends, and meet other victims of the deity’s abductions.
“During development we put a lot of time and care into the castle’s atmosphere, creating music and ambience whose interplay expressed a sense of forlornness, and using a painterly style of pixel art to give a sense of a world much larger than the small corners you see as the player,” explains brlka designer Toby Alden. “We’re looking forward to sharing the secrets of this time-worn realm later this year.”
Love Eternal will be released digitally on the Nintendo eShop for Nintendo Switch worldwide in Q4 2025.
