This game is not for everyone.
Eternal Return strips away conventional comforts for a brutally uncompromising indie experience that challenges players with merciless mechanics, oppressive atmosphere, and fragmentary storytelling.
Begin with only 1 health and 1 stamina. Explore amid an ever-present sense of danger to build your health, stamina, and small arsenal of weapons.
Forget hack-and-slash. Here, combat is a slow, deliberate dance of stamina and strategy. Mastering Eternal Return's unconventional controls demands precision - and button mashing guarantees death.
Players wield 3 primary and 3 secondary weapons, each with distinct advantages.
Swinging a greatsword is not instant, and misjudging an attack leaves you vulnerable. No air controls creates grounded, tactical engagements, where positioning and timing determine life or death.
Looping level design means that progress is never straightforward. Players have only one central checkpoint - progress by discovering shortcuts, keys to unlock doors, and an in-world fast-travel network.
Speak to nine tormented NPCs and decipher cryptic messages scrawled on scrolls throughout the castle. Players must find clues in their environment and read between the lines to find their path forward.
Defeat foes to gain points: Spend points to use crucial ranged weapons.
Risk & Reward: When you die, return to your corpse to recover points—or abandon them.
Includes: 20 levels. 13 bosses. 50+ enemy types - not mere foes but reflections of past sins
Secrets & Madness: Hidden areas and challenges even for the most hardened players.
Phonograph Records: Discover scattered discs to unveil the game’s soundtracks.
Glitches: hard drives lost when the developer became homeless means fractures remain in this world.
64-Color Aesthetic: A grim palette of decay, evoking the fading light of a dying world.
Countless Barrels and Jars to smash.
Philosophy!
