Set out on a journey through a harsh and unforgiving city

These waters... You know, sometimes I feel them rising in me. Dark and suffocating. Like something growing. A beast.

A Void Hope takes you on an atmospheric narrative adventure to find a cure for a collapsed city. Follow the story of a tormented couple as they try to decipher reality from nightmares and evade the shadowy threats lurking in the dark.

An immersive experience

  • Solve puzzles, find items and progress through the story in this world brimming with mysterious ambiance

Something lurks in the shadows

  • Crisp retro aesthetics combined with atmospheric lighting shows a world in darkness but with small slivers of hope

Avoid combat, embrace exploration

  • Delve into an adventure filled with danger and make your way through the city avoiding the threats that come your way

A haunting soundtrack

  • Composed by synthwave mastermind Waveshaper, an eerie and evocative landscape of music accompanies your every step



A Void Hope’s compelling mystery and carefully-crafted ambiance is supported by puzzle platforming mechanics that require you to solve puzzles and find items as you traverse the city. There are dangerous threats wandering the streets too, but your goal is to avoid conflict in this narrative-focused adventure where unwinding the threads of the unknown by exploring the secrets of the city’s physical space, along with the psychological space of your struggling protagonists, will be your primary focus.

A short and immersive experience enjoyed best in a single sitting on a rainy, dark night.

Features
  • Story written by published horror and science-fiction writer Frida Windelhed
  • Sound Design by Christian Björklund, previously Audio Designer on Little Nightmares
  • Soundtrack by Waveshaper (Furi OST, The Crew 2 from Ubisoft, Netflix, Videoman)
  • Additional Art by Rickard Paulsson (Bionic Commando, Syndicate, Gunborg)

8.5/10
A Void Hope is one of those games that you want your friends to play through, so you can all talk about it later on. Platforming that has a great old-school SNES feel, with a story that is better shown than told. I found each level to be unique enough, especially when accompanied by the soundtrack, that I didn't feel like I was replaying the same level again and again. My only complaint is the need to replay some levels in order to fully clear such a short game harshes the vibe, but only a little. Play it when its dark or cloudy out, when you're in the mood to experience something with feeling; A Void Hope was clearly made with love.

A Void Hope has a good narrative hook, deviating just enough from the real world to keep players interested. The platforming and puzzle elements are well-designed, with a focus on giving players tools to make progress rather than delivering complex and difficult challenges.

Not bad - not great...

The graphics are cool. The music is decent On these strengths, the game itself is a missed opportunity. It plays like the gazillion platformer collect em ups. The problem is that it's too basic. The enjoyment of old school platformers/collect em ups rested with the items/puzzles system they employed and the desire to unlock more of the world through solving these things. Dizzy - any version spanning from the zx spectrum to the nice take of it on the megadrive would be a good example. This game appears to cater to that when you watch the promo vid, but in reality it's not much more than a lot of very basic push button x to open door y on the same screen stuff, some rudimentary combat that has little purpose other than to become annoying, and five or six items that once collected unlock all boarded doors, all key card readers etc to parts of the world you've already passed through, but couldn't unlock the door to on the first pass. This results in it being not much more than the chore of revisiting earlier levels to find the one or two doors you had to pass on previously. Like the gameplay, the story is quite forgettable. A weird mix of a nod to something like the statement of the movie, they live, and a lot of talk about the fact you were going to settle down and have a baby. Maybe worth poicking up on sale for something to do the motions and complete for the sake of it, Short, too easy, not much variety and ultimately not much to do.

Gorgeous Indie Gem!!!

Indie gem with gorgeous atmosphere. Music, art and vibes are all great! Lovely if you want a ride back to late 80s/early 90s.

Don't Avoid, A Void Hope

A cozy little game with an incredible sense of atmosphere. It never holds your hand, instead letting you discover both the world and its story at your own pace, which I really appreciated. By the time I reached the end credits, I found myself wishing it had been a little longer. It's the perfect game to finish in one or two sittings, especially when you're in the mood for something different or just want a simple, refreshing palate cleanser between bigger games.

Alwa's Nightmare

Elden Pixels left fantasy for horror in their new game with a great effect. A Void Hope is a twisted metroidvania with wonderful soundtrack and fun puzzles.
