Creating truly frightening pixel art can be a challenge, as limited visuals often fall short of horror. However, Ysbryd Games’ upcoming psychological horror platformer, Love Eternal, showcased at the PC Gaming Show 2025, effectively captures 2D dread in its trailer with unsettling imagery.

Rather than leaning on graphic violence or hyper-realistic creatures, Love Eternal employs eerie music and sound effects to evoke fear. The trailer’s background is dominated by a low, ghostly hum, punctuated by sudden loud sounds that elicit jumps, adding to its intensity.

Expect disturbing visuals including confusing monoliths and eerie figures. One depicted woman seems to be staring blankly when not puncturing the protagonist’s car window, contributing to the horror in a way that entices.

Through this effort, Love Eternal appears to offer a refreshing take on psychological horror, steering away from clichéd mind-bending themes while still providing plenty of perturbing moments.

Set within a puzzle-filled castle ruled by a wrathful deity, players will guide the protagonist, Maya, utilizing her anti-gravity abilities to navigate the constantly shifting environment as it challenges her at every turn. The developers are clearly passionate and excited about this innovative gameplay mechanics, aiming to surprise seasoned gamers.

Love Eternal is scheduled for release in October 2025.
