Alright, so here’s the thing. I was hopping around all these game websites—just kinda lost in the endless sea of platformers, honestly—when I hit upon this game, Love Eternal. Now, I’m not saying I’m some kind of expert, but something about it just… sang to me, you know? I stumbled upon it at PAX East 2025; weirdly enough, the whole experience felt like finding a hidden gem while digging through treasure chests full of, well, less shiny stuff.
So, this game’s a sibling team effort. Apparently, they’ve been through some stuff—like moving from cozy, rainy Oregon to the chaos of wildfire-prone LA. And bang, there’s your inspiration, right? It’s like their personal drama got smeared all over this game. You’ve got elements from movies like Perfect Blue mixing with, I dunno, their own lives?
You pop into the story as Maya, just chilling in her vibey suburban home when, plot twist, everything flips on its head (literally). She goes to pick up this creepy phone call, and bam, her fam’s vanished. Then it’s like her whole world crumbled into these ancient, puzzle-like ruins. It’s disorienting but in an oddly inviting way, kinda like déjà vu at a carnival where the lights flicker just a bit too much.
Then, the game asks you to walk on ceilings—not like Spiderman, more like flipping gravity upside down. But here’s the kicker: you can’t just whoosh around mid-air, nope. You gotta land before pulling off another gravity-flip trick. Sounds dizzy, huh? And as you dodge these red stones and leap from one bizarre platform to another, it’s—well, I can’t find a better word than, intense.
There’s this expectation the devs toss your way: use your brain or… just fall repeatedly. While the puzzles get gnarly and insane (yes, they will test your patience), there are save points around—kinda like tiny moments of grace.
With this backdrop of escaping a castle made of “bitter memories” and the mystery of a god who’s just lonely and mischievous, there’s a promise of good ol’ story twists and turns. Seriously, I’ll probably finish it feeling a bit rattled. It’s coming out soon for all those consoles—Xbox, PlayStation, Switch, PC—what-have-you, so brace yourselves for a wild, four-hour emotional ride.
Anyway, wait, do you hear that? No, it’s just me rambling on. Let’s see if this game gives us something unforgettable. All said and done, I’m just here, hoping it stands out amidst the noise.
