About The End Is Nigh

✦ AI summary

Take control of Ash through 600+ brutal platformer levels across a post-apocalyptic world, dodging mutant creatures and collecting video game cartridges while pursuing his darkly hilarious quest to build a friend from found body parts. The End Is Nigh combines punishing platforming action with indie charm, packed with hidden endings, mini-games, and a surprisingly touching story wrapped in morbid humor.

If you are reading this you are probably dead...

Just kidding, you aren't dead... YET!
See, in the future, everything dies... for the most part.
and this is a game about just that.

The End Is Nigh!

-the management

Gameplay:

The End Is Nigh is a sprawling adventure platformer where the player takes control over Ash, one of few "things" that have "survived" the "end of the world".
Follow Ash as he flops his way through a future of pain and suffering. Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest... to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey).

Oh, also you collect video game cartridges and tumors! if that does anything for ya.

  • Features:


  • 600+ levels!
  • 12+ explorable chapters!
  • 20+ collectible and fully playable mini game cartridges! (each with their own tiny achievements!)
  • 80+ achievements that will make you feel good about yourself
  • 100s of collectible little squishy tumors!
  • loads of hidden extras and endings that you will probably see someone else find before you do!
  • and stress!

Está bien, pero si en dos horas no metiste nada nuevo, es literalmente Super Meat Boy otra vez. Todo bien Edmund, pero this is not it.
Recommended Sep 5, 2026
I haven't 100%ed it yet, but I've finished Nevermore and most of the cartridges. The End Is Nigh is an amazing platformer that is designed to push you to your limits. Don't give up.

This game is really fun, I love the platforming a lot because it's really challenging and took me awhile to adapt, love it!
