Prepare to question your surroundings and your grip on gravity. Developer brlka and publisher Ysbryd Games—the team behind cult hits like WORLD OF HORROR—have announced that their unconventional horror platformer, LOVE ETERNAL, will launch on February 19, 2026. The title is headed to PlayStation 5, PlayStation 4, Xbox Series X|S, Nintendo Switch, and PC via Steam.
A Family Dinner Turned Nightmare
The game follows the harrowing journey of Maya, a teenager whose mundane life is shattered during a routine family dinner. In an instant, her home is destroyed, and she is abducted into a decaying, cavernous dimension ruled by a selfish, callous deity. To find her way back, Maya must navigate a labyrinthine fortress filled with lethal traps and haunting manifestations of her own memories.
Precision Platforming with a Twist
At its core, LOVE ETERNAL is a precision platformer that challenges players to master momentum and gravity. Key features include:
Gravity Manipulation: Players must strategically smash through floating stones to flip gravity in midair, a mechanic essential for bypassing shifting lasers and razor-sharp spikes.
Surreal Biomes: From dripping grottoes to ancient structures illuminated by blinding spotlights, the game utilizes "liminal spaces" to create a persistent sense of dread.
Psychological Horror: Beyond the mechanical challenges, Maya will encounter other victims of the deity and horrifying, distorted versions of her own loved ones.
"We wanted to explore the subtler aspects of psychological horror," says Toby Alden, designer at brlka. "We tried to imbue every environment with a sense of unease that was unmistakable but impossible to put your finger on."
Global Launch Details
Priced at an accessible $9.99, LOVE ETERNAL is positioned to be a standout indie title for early 2026. The game will feature extensive language support, including English, Spanish, French, German, and Simplified Chinese. Fans of "unnerving" atmospheres and high-stakes platforming can find more information at the official website or by following #LoveEternalGame on social media.
