Evaluation

The End Is Nigh launched on July 12, 2017 as a complete, self-contained adventure platformer with 600+ levels, 12+ chapters, collectible mini-game cartridges, and multiple endings. The only DLC ever released is the soundtrack, which shipped on the same day as the game itself. The developer's last meaningful communication was a Steam Workshop update posted on October 24, 2019. That post framed the update as a bonus effort made while the developer happened to have the code open for an Epic Games Store port — specifically adding modding tools and Steam Workshop support for the game's existing fan community. It was not a content expansion and explicitly positioned the game as something fans had been enjoying for two years. No new story content, levels, or gameplay features were added to the base game. Since October 2019, there have been no further developer posts, no announced DLC, and no roadmap of any kind. The store description has remained unchanged and describes a finished product. With no unreleased DLC listed, no developer statements about future content, and no sustained pattern of post-launch content additions, the game launched as a finished product and has remained so.

Gameplay:

The End Is Nigh is a sprawling adventure platformer where the player takes control over Ash, one of few "things" that have "survived" the "end of the world".
Follow Ash as he flops his way through a future of pain and suffering. Feel his stress levels rise as you throw him into an endless swarm of decaying, mutant animal-like creatures and help aid his final epic quest... to simply make a friend (out of pieces of people he finds along his journey).

Oh, also you collect video game cartridges and tumors! if that does anything for ya.

  • 100s of collectible little squishy tumors!
