The Eternal Life of Goldman PS5

In this gripping adventure platformer, explore a vast hand-drawn Archipelago inspired by ancient fables and brought to life in classic frame-by-frame animation as you defeat a mysterious Deity.

The Eternal Life of Goldman is an adventure that is both animated and dark, bringing together legends, fairy tales, and myths. It is a game that takes a different angle on the genre and offers something unexpected every minute.

Handcrafted down to the smallest detail

The Eternal Life of Goldman is the result of years of work by people who love and appreciate the same cartoons, comic books, and games as you. We wanted to create a no-compromise 2D game with surprising beauty, so we went back to the genre’s roots and took the hardest possible path, with hand-drawn, hand-coloured, and hand-animated art using classic frame-by-frame techniques. We didn’t take shortcuts, and the results are there for all to see. In The Eternal Life of Goldman, there aren’t two identical rooms or landscapes. Every location, every object, every character, every visual effect... everything was planned and executed down to the smallest detail.

Do you remember being a child and not believing your eyes when you saw your first 16-bit platform game? We want you to feel that again... or maybe for the first time.

Inspired by the best in the genre

Far from relying on clichés and formulas, The Eternal Life of Goldman turns the genre on its head. The game includes everything we love about most side-scrolling games, with inspiration drawn from different styles, trends, and eras. And it leaves out all the frustrating parts that make no sense and waste time.

It is a challenging platform game that demands precision, but it never becomes a gruelling exercise where you have to memorise and methodically execute an exact sequence of actions. The key to success lies in improvisation and ingenuity.

It is a game that encourages exploration and gives you a sense of discovery, but it won’t have you running back and forth looking for the right path after gaining a new ability or artefact. It is impossible to spend any time wandering through The Eternal Life of Goldman without doing something interesting.

Finally, it is a game with complex scenes, strong characters, and a multi-layered story, but it never gets bogged down in thoughtful poses or pretension. Every element of the game works together to create a gripping adventure that will break your heart.
