Perhaps You’d Be Willing to Go to the End of the World for Your Beloved, but Would You Go Beyond It? 

CURITIBA, BRAZIL (May 27, 2020) — Doublehit Games — an independent game development studio focused on mystical and emotional games — announced today their captivating adventure puzzle platformer, Eternal Hope. Launching on PC via Steam on August 6, 2020, and later this year on Xbox One, Eternal Hope explores the toil of life after — and during — death as you travel between dimensions in a quest to be reunited with your beloved. 

Inspired by the artistic stylings of Studio Ghibli and featuring beautiful environments and an intensely emotional storyline, Eternal Hope follows the story of Ti’bi, a boy who must travel between two dimensions in search of his lost love’s soul. Embarking on a journey filled with undying love and unwavering hope, players will use intuition and quick-on-their-feet thinking to find clever ways to overcome the many obstacles and puzzles in their path.

“Eternal Hope asks that players deeply consider what they would do with everything on the line,” said Gabriel Oliveira, Director and Sound Designer, Doublehit Games.“ This is not only a video game but rather, an emotional and thought-provoking story brought to life with captivating artwork and mysterious characters. Eternal Hope is our most ambitious project yet, and we’re sure it will steal the hearts of players everywhere.”

Not all love is created equal; Eternal Hope’s Ti’bi is on a highly unusual journey — one that he hopes will bring his cherished girlfriend’s soul back from the Shadow World, a purgatory-like realm. Granted the ability to travel between dimensions, he will use this power, along with a few helping hands from otherworldly beings, to solve puzzles that will ultimately lead him to his love’s final resting place in the great beyond. Visiting the Shadow World is no easy feat, however. With corrupted creatures inhabiting this mirror dimension, Ti’bi will make friends — and many enemies — along the way while unearthing ancient secrets, none of which were meant for the living to discover. 

Additional Key Features of Eternal Hope Include: 

• Multi-dimensional Traveler: There’s no luggage check for this kind of travel — brace yourself for interdimensional exploration as Ti’bi travels between realms in order to rescue his beloved’s soul
   
• You’ve Got a Friend in Me: Make friends as you travel between dimensions, and use their helpful skills and resources to overcome the obstacles you’ll encounter on your journey, but be careful — not every soul has good intentions!
   
• Blast From the Past: As you venture out on your journey both into the Shadow World and the world of the living, you’ll discover secrets of the land and the ancient ones that dwell there. However, secrets of your own past will also surface; forget the ghoulish beasts that lurk in the shadows — can you face your inner demons?

Try to majestically ascend to the top of a colossal tower in this unique tactical leaping adventure.

London, United Kingdom, May 27th, 2020 – UKIYO Publishing and independent game developer Nexile are thrilled to announce that their critically acclaimed and comically punishing platformer Jump King is heading to PlayStation 4, Xbox One, and Nintendo Switch on June 9th. 

Jump King is a tough as nails “tactical leaping adventure” that challenges players to ascend a colossal tower to rescue a smoking hot babe at the top, where all they can do is jump. Players must set themselves in the desired position, charge their jump just right, then let gravity do its thing as they make each nerve-wracking leap. Should they be the right and true king of jumping, they shall land on a ledge. Otherwise… well, it could be a long drop down. 

Every point of progress is saved along the way… but so is every setback. Jumps that cause you little grief one time may become the bane of your existence upon encountering them again. It’s worth experimenting with different routes and tactics though, as Jump King features multiple paths to success. All this is wrapped up in a nostalgic pixel art aesthetic, full of colorful characters and evocative locales.  

Make no mistake, Jump King is an extraordinarily difficult game, yet it can be relished by anyone looking for a tough but fair challenge. It’s sadistic enough to drive a seasoned gamer to tears, yet accessible enough due to its simple controls and mechanics, that anyone can overcome its challenges – perseverance is key! Do you have what it takes to be the one true Jump King?

“It’s great to finally be able to share Jump King with players on console,” said Felix Wahlström of Nexile. “Building the entire game around just jumping was very amusing. I’m happy we stuck with the purity of our vision. We managed to distill the mechanic to one of its truest forms, creating an unforgettable challenge for players! Jump King has a modern structure and a mechanic taken for granted with a twist, all in a captivating and classic package. We think console gamers will both love and hate it, just like we do”.

“Jump King continues to offer the team at UKIYO Publishing some of the most hair-pulling, infuriatingly fun moments of our gaming lives,” said Paul Hann of UKIYO Publishing. “I’ve still not managed to reach the top of this devilish castle, but at least now I can try to do so from the comfort of my sofa.”

Dream, die, wake, repeat… Coming to Steam Early Access this summer

San Francisco, CA — May 27th, 2020 — Independent developer Afterburner Studios today announced that their atmospheric action RPG about lucid dreaming, Dreamscaper, is coming to Steam Early Access this summer. A phantasmagorical experience where story and hack n slash action collides, Dreamscaper draws players into a never-ending cycle of dreaming and waking as the protagonist, Cassidy, battles fiendish nightmares and uncovers the mystery surrounding her life.

Doubling its funding goal on Kickstarter in 2019, Dreamscaper already made a splash last month with a free demo version, Dreamscaper: Prologue, which attracted over a quarter million users. Gaining recognition, Dreamscaper will be featured in several online video game showcases this summer, including Steam Game Festival, Guerilla Collective and The Escapist Indie Showcase.

“We are excited to officially announce that Dreamscaper is coming to Steam Early Access this summer,” said Ian Cofino from Afterburner Studios. “Dreamscaper is a very personal project to us. We wanted to explore themes like depression and mental health, but do it in a more approachable way. Casidy’s journey of empowerment and overcoming her anxieties felt like a premise everyone of us could relate to. We’re thrilled with how much Dreamscaper has resonated with players across the world.”

In Dreamscaper players dive into Casidy’s subconscious and confront the surreal nightmares she wrestles with in order to save her from a dark fate. Every slumber is a different ordeal in an ever-changing world with a multitude of unique events and challenges. The deep combat system features a multitude of attack options, from finger guns and yo-yos to rending the earth beneath you or controlling time itself – in a dreamworld anything goes. Once awake, players interact with people in Cassidy’s life, forge new relationships, piece her life events together and unlock upgrades that impact her next dream. As soon as Cassidy falls asleep, the cycle continues: players traverse her beautiful, haunting dreamscapes, confronting her nightmares head-on with a rich hack-n’-slash combat system where careful positioning, exact timing and quick reflexes are rewarded.

Featuring an otherworldly, dynamic musical score by industry composer, Dale North, Dreamscaper is due out on Steam Early Access this summer.
