Game Overview
This game will crush you. Face merciless gameplay to explore a cursed castle, discover the dark tales of its inhabitants, and kill the gods of a decaying world. Eternal Return combines retro graphics and old-school mechanics with modern nonlinear level design and storytelling. Slow pacing combined with tight yet unconvential controls builds stress, tension, and horror during gameplay, rather than taking a hack & slash approach. Players build their health, stamina, and arsenal up from nothing – and earn points by killing enemies to use special weapons to fight their way to the next shortcut. Speak to NPCs, find written messages, muse over paintings, and explore story-filled architecture to learn or infer the forgotten tales of the crumbling castle and its fading inhabitants – including yourself. Features:
- Starting with 1 health and 1 stamina to be built up by exploring for upgrades
- Stamina management-combat
- Unique controls for toe-to-toe combat
- No Air controls! (How do they do that, anyway?)
- Realistically-paced attacks for strategy rather than spamming
