Endless Night: The Darkness Within is a dark, psychological Metroidvania where every breath pulls you deeper into Jake’s mind.
Navigate surreal dreamscapes, confront inner demons, and piece together the fragments of a shattered heart.
The deeper you go, the harder the truth is to face — but it’s the only way out.
"Until you make the unconscious conscious, it will direct your life and you will call it fate."
-Carl Gustav Jung
Hello there.
I’m Jake — and I’m finally ready to face my inner demons. For a long time, I ran from them. Drowned in sorrow. Did nothing. But enough is enough. It’s time to descend. To face whatever’s waiting in this crazy quantum dream we call reality.
So… you coming?

But, it's also a dream, so your martial arts skills are on point, with moves that flow off of each like your favourite ice cream flavours on a hot summer day! Mmm, delicious.
If you can master combat and equip the right gear - like the Flaming Mitts, or the Heavenly Ass-Whooperz, maybe you stand a chance!
STUNNING ENVIRONMENTS
Stuff is beautiful....everywhere you look there is beauty, like in a dream that can turn into a nightmare.
