A play review of 'LOVE ETERNAL,' a high-difficulty action game where you use gravity reversal to conquer trap-filled stages.
'LOVE ETERNAL' is a high-difficulty action game where you overcome challenging obstacles by utilizing gravity reversal. It's said to be a game that combines the fun of piecing together the correct movements after many failures with psychological horror elements such as an unsettling story and presentation, so I decided to play it myself to see what kind of game it is.

I immediately started the game and began playing. I could hear my mother's voice saying, 'Maya, dinner's ready.'
The phone rang while we were having dinner as a family, so I left the table briefly, but when I came back, everyone was gone. It was creepy.
When you leave your house, the place where you were just living has become a ruin. This is where the game begins.
The protagonist, Maya, has the power to reverse gravity, allowing her to walk on the ceiling.
The locations marked with white pillars are save points. This is a high-difficulty 'death game,' but the abundance of save points makes it easier to experiment and learn through trial and error.
You can reverse gravity once even in mid-air. So, even on a stage like this, you can clear it by making a big jump and reversing gravity mid-air.
Touching the red stone allows you to reverse gravity again, even if you have already reversed gravity once in mid-air.
The stages are getting quite difficult. I die a lot, but I can revive quickly, so I'm carefully adjusting the position and timing of switching gravity.
While the story does unfold along the way, it's told in a rather abstract and fragmented manner, which made me think about its meaning.
As you progress through the game, you'll encounter some quite challenging stages. The sense of accomplishment you feel when you overcome these difficult sections is immense.
Even if it wasn't immediately clear how to proceed, carefully observing the situation, deciding on a route, and successfully following that route was incredibly satisfying.

As advertised, it boasts a high difficulty level, and to be honest, some stages are quite challenging. I recommend it to people who enjoy high-difficulty 2D action games and games where you have to try multiple times to perfect your moves.
