Get Shivers Down Your Spine: Dive into 'Love Eternal'
Are you ready to feel utterly terrified while playing a game that isn't all about blood and gore? Introducing Love Eternal, the chilling psychological horror platformer from Ysbryd Games, showcased at the PC Gaming Show 2025. Here's what makes it tick.
Instead of relying on typical horror tropes, Love Eternal does something different - it unnerves using disquieting imagery, spine-tingling sound effects, and spine-tingling music. The eerie background noise in most of the trailer is a low, haunting drone, interrupted occasionally by loud noises that are sure to give you a start. But that's not the worst part.
confronts you with monoliths that confuse, humans that distort, and a woman who'll either be fixated on you or seemingly appear out of nowhere to smash a car window. It's downright terrifying, and I can't wait to experience more.
Love Eternal offers a fresh perspective on psychological horror, moving beyond the 'can you really trust your own mind?' angle that's often overused. Instead, the game presents an unsettling world that will keep you on the edge of your seat.
And what's a psychological horror game without a bit of platforming? Maya, the game's protagonist, can traverse the anti-gravity environments with ease, jumping from the ceiling to the floor, floating through mid-air, and even flipping gravity to escape tight spots. All these gravity-defying skills add to the overall unsettling atmosphere.
If you're a fan of psychological horror games, you'll be thrilled to know that Love Eternal is set to release in October 2025. The developers were more than excited to share their work with the world, saying they created an experience that challenges players' assumptions about what a game can be. I thankfully can't wait to see what happens when I step into Maya's shoes and enter the labyrinthine castle that's home to a lonely deity.
