The upcoming puzzle-platformer<\/strong> from Doublehit Games, Eternal Hope<\/strong><\/em>, released a vivid new trailer yesterday. The game is reportedly<\/a> inspired by the works of Studio Ghibli<\/strong> (My Neighbor Totoro, Howl’s Moving Castle<\/em>, Spirited Away<\/em>), which is certainly reflected in its quirky, mysterious characters and art style. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

As illustrated in the trailer, the player can cycle through the “real” world and the “shadow” world, enlisting the help of spooky figures called the An’mu<\/strong> to navigate the terrain. The environment shifts between dazzling jewel tones and gloomy shades of gray to distinguish the worlds. The contrast of the detailed background with a silhouetted foreground is also reminiscent of another gorgeous and spooky indie platformer, Limbo<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Here is the synopsis featured on Steam<\/strong><\/a>:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Eternal Hope is an adventure game about a boy who must travel between two worlds in search of his beloved one’s soul, trying to find a way to bring her back to life. Embark on a journey of love and hope and figure out clever ways to overcome obstacles in your path. Use your newly acquired ability to enter the Shadow World – a mirrored dimension inhabited by corrupted creatures. Explore the beautiful world of Eternal Hope, making friends and enemies along the way and unraveling ancient secrets.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n
