At its core, The Eternal Life of Goldman is a story-rich platformer with a dark yet vibrant setting. You arrive at the Archipelago with a singular goal: to kill the Deity, a mysterious figure wrapped in myth. But finding it means unraveling the secrets of this strange land, meeting eccentric characters, facing bizarre creatures, and uncovering a history shaped by tragedy.
The game promises a fresh take on the genre. Platforming is precise but not punishing, encouraging improvisation over rigid memorisation. Exploration is rewarding but avoids frustrating backtracking. And while the story has depth, it doesn’t get lost in its complexity, it’s all about keeping the adventure engaging from start to finish.
Visually, The Eternal Life of Goldman is something special. The entire game is animated frame by frame, a painstaking process that makes every scene unique. No two rooms look the same, and every detail—from characters to landscapes- has been crafted with care. It’s a love letter to classic platformers, aiming to recreate that childhood feeling of seeing a beautifully animated world for the first time.
With its striking art, tight platforming, and an adventure full of mystery, The Eternal Life of Goldman is shaping up to be something worth watching. The game launches this holiday, so keep an eye out for more details as its release approaches.
