Independent studio Little Guy Games is proud to unveil Endless Night: The Darkness Within at PAX East 2025, offering hands-on access to their hauntingly beautiful psychological Metroidvania for the first time at Booth #17104.
In Endless Night, players enter the fractured dreamworld of Jake—a man grappling with PTSD and a past he can’t outrun. As he sleeps, he’s pulled into shifting dreamscapes where surreal landscapes, forgotten memories, and monstrous inner demons await.
Key Features:
- Death Is Progression – Each death reshapes the dream, unlocking new pathways, memories, and truths.
- Emotional Metroidvania Design – Explore a nonlinear, interconnected world tied to Jake’s psyche, complete with unlockable abilities, shifting environments, and evolving challenges.
- Combat as Catharsis – Face foes born from trauma, wield elemental gear, and reclaim fragments of Jake’s broken heart.
- Original Music and Voice Acting – Featuring an emotionally immersive soundtrack by sync artist Nathalie King, and a full voice cast bringing depth to the story.
“We wanted to make a game where failure isn’t punishment—it’s revelation,” says Tom Frencel, Creative Director at Little Guy Games. “Endless Night is about confronting the darkest parts of yourself—and emerging changed.”
