About Game

Face merciless gameplay to explore a cursed castle, discover the dark tales of its inhabitants, and kill the gods of a decaying world. Eternal Return combines retro graphics and old-school mechanics with modern nonlinear level design and storytelling.Slow pacing combined with tight yet unconvential controls builds stress, tension, and horror during gameplay, rather than taking a hack &amp; slash approach. Players build their health, stamina, and arsenal up from nothing - and earn points by killing enemies to use special weapons to fight their way to the next shortcut.Speak to NPCs, find written messages, muse over paintings, and explore story-filled architecture to learn or infer the forgotten tales of the crumbling castle and its fading inhabitants - including yourself.<ul><li>Starting with 1 health and 1 stamina to be built up by exploring for upgrades</li><li>Stamina management-combat</li><li>Unique controls for toe-to-toe combat</li><li>No Air controls!
