Ysbryd Games and indie developer brlka have officially announced that their unconventional horror platformer, Love Eternal, will launch digitally on the Nintendo Switch eShop worldwide in Q4 2025.
This much-anticipated title stands out in the indie lineup with its atmospheric world-building, gravity-flipping mechanics, and a harrowing narrative that subverts traditional platformer tropes.
Set in a hauntingly surreal realm, Love Eternal follows protagonist Maya, who is left reeling after returning from a phone call to find her family vanished, her house in ruins, and her entire world warped into a desolate Iron Age-inspired landscape.
As Maya, players must navigate a crumbling labyrinthine castle, outmaneuver deadly hazards, and challenge a mysterious deity responsible for the abduction.
Gameplay revolves around intense platforming sequences that demand precise timing and strategic planning.
Maya’s ability to flip gravity mid-jump is key to overcoming environmental traps such as perilous spikes and shifting laser patterns.
The title is further enriched by its painterly pixel art style, which brings to life haunting landscapes including expansive undersea caverns and unsettling versions of Maya’s former suburban home.
Players will also encounter doppelgängers of Maya’s loved ones and other survivors ensnared by the same godly antagonist.
During development, brlka’s focus on immersion has been paramount.
Designer Toby Alden commented, “We dedicated significant time and care to crafting the castle’s atmosphere.
The interplay between our music and ambient effects expresses profound forlornness, while our painterly pixel art gives a sense of a world far larger than the player’s immediate surroundings.
We eagerly anticipate sharing the secrets of this time-worn realm with players later this year.”
The digital-only release of Love Eternal on the Nintendo eShop continues Nintendo Switch’s tradition of supporting standout indie titles.
With its striking art direction, unique gravity mechanics, and evocative soundtrack, Love Eternal promises to offer a memorable horror platforming experience when it becomes available to players worldwide in Q4 2025.
Stay tuned for more details and future gameplay reveals from Ysbryd Games and brlka as the Love Eternal release date approaches.
