- The End Grows – Full Release! - 6 December 2025
It is with great emotion that I officially announce the release of The End Grows. After 3 years of development, the game is now available on Steam.In The End Grows, the end of the world arrives in 5 minutes, and a strange yellow entity forces you to relive these final moments in an endless loop. The game is built on two strong pillars:Its gameplay: At first glance, The End Grows may look like a metroidvania with a time loop, but its real strength lies in its progression system. I designed an almost exponential leveling system, where you increase your stats in the heat of action, using the directional pad.Every enemy you defeat gives you a large amount of XP, and the whole strategy revolves around optimizing your run to become strong enough to accomplish an objective within those five minutes.Progression happens on two layers:During the run, thanks to the stats you upgrade.Between runs,…
