Narrative-heavy horror platformer LOVE ETERNAL looks fantastic and arrives February 19

Run, jump and flip gravity in the narrative-heavy horror platformer LOVE ETERNAL when it releases February 19th. The atmosphere in this looks simply awesome.

Admittedly, I don't actually play a lot of 2D platformers nowadays, but I might have to make an exception for LOVE ETERNAL because after watching the trailer I was really impressed at how unnerved it made me feel. Bringing together the creepy horror elements with what looks like some channelling of the classic VVVVVV for the gravity-flipping platforming — it's looking very interesting.

More about it: "A mundane family dinner becomes a waking nightmare for teenager Maya. One minute, she’s dealing with her frustrating parents; the next, the dinner table’s empty, the house destroyed, and the remaining husk has been spirited away into a cavernous, eerie alternate dimension. Escape the echoing chambers of a decaying fortress, avoiding deadly traps and altering gravitational forces, and confront the powerful deity who kidnapped Maya."

The developer just recently revealed the release date with a new great trailer you can watch below:

From the press release: “We wanted to explore the subtler aspects of psychological horror with LOVE ETERNAL, and tried to imbue every scene and environment with a sense of unease that was unmistakable, but impossible to put your finger on," said Toby Alden, designer at brlka. "Everyone who's tried the game so far has felt it, and we're really excited for players to experience how uniquely unnerving it is.”
