About Life Eternal


A necromancer awakens in a dilapidated tower he once knew as a pristine stronghold for his lord and sorcerer that he was apprenticed under. Somehow, the necromancer slept through it all in a sleep so sound, not even his lord's death woke him up. But that's all right; his lord had foreseen this coming and made sure the necromancer had the knowledge and training so he could raise his dead lord all on his own.

Now, it is up to you to help the necromancer collect the spell and tools necessary to bring his lord back to life so that he may take revenge on those who sought him harm. Although, perhaps, his lord's death could signify another kind of rebirth.

Life Eternal is a story-driven adventure game with a focus on exploration and no battles, from the developer behind the cult classic Star Stealing Prince. Uncover the secrets left behind by your lord's death and piece together the necromancer's own fragmented memories to find your answers.

There are two endings facilitated by a choice at the end.

Beautiful music but otherwise dull and slow. I got ending 1 in 16:07 and a second one at 19:29 and by that point, that was enough for me. This is a story driven "pay attention to your surrounding" type game with no combat and a few choices. No controller support. Nothing special over all.

A nice, however short and plain, story. The game delivers well a melancholic atmosphere thanks to music (which also makes it a pity that the music is not available outside of the game, unless one bothers enough).

Considering this is a free game, I understant it being short. I would've appreciated, though, that the reveal wasn't as obvious to let us feel the emotional weight of the story, which is the focus of the game since it doesn't introduce new mechanics beside walking and finding stuff required to advance. Character art has some weird proportions, but it's still a free game.

The art style, the portraits, the lore interpretation ability is chefs kiss

the controls are solid, the worldspace feels well written. the 16 bit graphics hit me right in the nostalgia. i think it perfectly nails the idea of using a game engine's exploration parts to tell a story, rather than charge though fight after fight. while it doesn't bring anything advanced to the table behind its engine, the story shows through fairly well as the focus. certaintly runnable on lower spec hardware. even touchscreen compatible

Games like Undertale that remember what you did

Undertale's own listing calls it the RPG where you don't have to destroy anyone. Games like Undertale that keep that idea: permanent choices, fights you can talk past, worlds that notice.

Games like Slay the Spire that keep the branching climb

Most games like Slay the Spire copy the cards and lose the map. These keep the risky-or-safe choice, from a three-floor train to a deck made of poker hands.

Games like Dying Light are easy to find if you only want parkour or only want zombies. These eight keep the part that matters: a city that becomes a different place after dark.

Games like Portal 2, where one idea carries the whole game

Games like Portal 2 all share one habit: teach a single impossible trick, then spend a campaign breaking it. From rewinding objects through time to Escher geometry that loops back on itself.

Planet Coaster DLC: skip the collection, buy the packs

The Planet Coaster DLC catalogue closed in 2019, so there is no curve left to wait out. Our record shows the collection bundle costs far more than assembling the same packs one by one.
