An Eternity Gone By

About

An Eternity Gone By casts you as Mirai, a sorceress chasing monsters through a shifting world. Armed with telekinesis, you'll fling everyday objects like watermelons and lamp posts at grotesque foes while navigating platforming challenges and brawling through hordes. The twist lies in time, each failed rescue attempt ages Mirai, altering her abilities and the environments she traverses. Combat grows more dynamic as she progresses, blending quick reflexes with strategic use of her evolving powers. The game’s standout is its lifecycle mechanic, where every retry reshapes both character and setting. With a 4.3/5 average from early access players, its charm lies in the evolving difficulty and nostalgic pixel art. While not the deepest of its genre, it nails the loop of persistence and progression, offering 15-20 hours of escalating challenges. The mix of slapstick combat and bittersweet narrative about time’s passage gives it legs beyond typical beat ’em ups.
