Going to the ends of the earth for love is one thing, but would you venture beyond them? Thats the question posed by the gorgeous platformerEternal Hope, which invites players on a darkly surreal journey into the depths of the Shadow World following its launchon Steamtoday.

Taking stylistic and gameplay inspirations from the likes ofOri and the Blind ForestandLimbo,the world ofEternal Hopeis richly detailed, utterly beautiful and yet fraught with quiet danger. Consumed by the quest to rescue his cherished love, protagonist Tibi steps into the purgatory-like Shadow World where deadly pitfalls and ancient mysteries lurk at every turn.

Using Tibis newfound ability to shift between dimensions, players will uncover secrets not meant for the eyes of the living as they traverse evocative landscapes and encounter the Shadow Worlds diverse cast of supernatural entities. Which are friends and which are foes? Who can help Tibi to solve puzzles and overcome obstacles, and who is out to hurt him?Eternal Hopeplayers will confront these quandaries and more as the games unique story unfolds.

Set across mystic forests and hidden caves, ancient cities and imposing mountains,Eternal Hopeis a truly stunning debut PC title from up-and-coming indie studio Doublehit Games that will resonate with all fans of sumptuous 2D artwork, eerie vibes and Ghibli-esque creatures.
