Dark Eden (GBA) - 2002 prototype found! Castlevania SotN inspired. Quick play. More in description
4The wonderful people at Forest of Illusion found, dumped, researched another lost Gameboy Advance prototype from 2002 (found in Oct 2022)!
Dark Eden was clearly inspired by Castlevania titles and this stream is a quick demonstration of the gameplay. Although the play control is a little loose and you take a lot of damage with each hit (not to mention respawning annoying enemies) you can see where they were going.

Quote from Forest Of Illusion below:
"The following is a short demo of Dark Eden for the Game Boy Advance by Rival Dreams. As one of the developers, Kynan Pearson, stated, they were highly influenced by Symphony of the Night and Metroid. You journey around a castle collecting four different power ups: the run, the wall jump, the fire sword, and the super jump. It’s a short and sweet demo that can be completed in one sitting. The controls are a bit slippery, but that’s to be expected from an early demo. Upon looking at the title screen, the build here appears to be slightly earlier from the one covered in the Time Extension article; it lacks copyright information and has more refined character art and logo.
The project was canned when the three developers for the project couldn’t find a publisher to fund the project."
