Everhood

Love this Game. Highly recommend to anyone looking to piss blood after getting all achievements

I love this game. It's kind of interesting, because I haven't played Undertale nor Deltarune before playing Everhood, but now I can see the inspiration. The battles are so fun! The story is, well... interesting.. I just had a great time playing this and I can't recommend it enough!

Anyone that says making video games isn't an artform, clearly hasn't played Everhood. This game blew my mind time after time. The story. The music. The visuals. It's moving - especially that endgame sequence.

The story is written in Toby Fox's style, which already makes it pretty decent. But the abundance of unique ideas, jokes, and the gameplay combined with the music make it such a wonderful experience. 9.5/10

There is truly nothing else like Everhood. The inspiration from games such as Undertale are apparent, yet, it manages to take those inspirations and make a game that is truly unique. My first playthrough took about 7ish hours, but I know I’m only scratching the surface of what this game offers and that’s before putting the general replayability of the battles into account. A friend recommended it to me so it only seems fair I recommend it to you (person reading this). Absolute gem of a game. Also I would die for Flan.

Really great game that was just absolutely FUCKED for someone named [spoiler]Pink[/spoiler] to play through.

Y'know for a game that makes me feel like on a acid trip and has some really funny dialogue. I didn't think I would tear up until I was about to beat the game. This game is art. Play it

The best way to describe this game is, that its an experience. An experience I enjoy. Its surprising how much i feel involved and inside that world with those graphics but it kinda feels like drugs. the rhythm game play is also very fun and constantly changing.

Hard to recommend, but I am enjoying it. Think guitar hero mixed with Nietzsche and as a Nintendo rpg and your pretty close.

I enjoyed the battles because they were fun and had good music, but didn't enjoy the game's whole theme. It's overwrought and ends up being way too corny, and not in a silly meta kinda way, but the kinda shit that would hype me if I was 12. At the very least I can give this a thumbs up because I enjoyed the core gameplay. Walk around, talk to people, battle. There isn't too much fluff inbetween every battle, which is nice for a short game.

fun gameplay, good music, uncanny and very confusing. truly an inexpressible divine moment of truth.

I dont wanna be rude, this is a game worth experienceing but i felt it was very repetitive and frustrating at points, i feel adding a custom difficulty where you can add checkpoints and slow down notes would be grate, the controlls are allright but the running is awful and theres no way to remap it The only way the difficulty scales is either they add much more bullets or too many effects that remove all sense of skill, wich does bother me cause some effects are beutiful The songs at first are kinda mid but the ending songs are bangers, sadly it just drags for ever im not sure ill play the upcoming title

Yeah, I'd describe this as an ineffable tale of the inexpressible divine moments of truth. Despite the short length, the story and gameplay are amazing. Go play it, it especially helped with a Deltarune shaped hole in my heart.

I opened the FNaF box and Scott started having a seizure whilst kicking my ass. A face paced rhythm game with some sick beats and boss fights, it can get pretty difficult if you go looking for it. (This game has nothing to do with FNaF or Scott)

Amazing game, visuals were great, music and gameplay was the maindraw but so much else kept me around. If you like rhythm (based) games it'll be up your alley ^^

This game is an incomprehensible emotional roller coaster. Th characters are fun and engaging, the combat feels enjoyable, and the environment feels very vivid. I'm glad I got to experience this game.

in a nutshell: it's a shorter, linear undertale with rhythm game battles. I recommend this if you like those and don't suffer from epilepsy

10/10, cuz of Flan and Muck giving me their very long plank.

9/10 Had an amazing time with Everhood! The musics good, characters are fun and by the end of the first play through I ended up starting again immediately in New Game + because I wanted more. I will be checking out the 2nd game as this one will sell you on it.

I adore this game - instantly in my top 10 of all time Somehow had me sobbing my eyes out over killing doors I love Nosferatchu with all my heart he is my one true icon "Nothing is lost"

undertale with rythm i guess. Combat and music is great, the ending and its message is nice.

This is (probably) the only game I will give a 10/10 rating on. I love everything about this including the story, characters, music, environments, art direction and story. Though I will say that I can see why this can be seen as not as good as it can be and I feel that's the nature of games like this. I highly recommend going into this as blind as possible for the best experience you can get out of this. It's truly an experience worthwhile and I can't spoil too much of it or else it could ruin the experience.

Visually wild, musically hypnotic and the mechanics are simple but chaotic. Felt like i was dodging musical notes in a fever dream while trying to ride a bike for the first time. Great time. Still don't have rhythm. 9/10 https://youtu.be/Vr-aC5rmOVY?si=Y1Y_5to3vncjoTLQ

Everhood helped me get through some pretty shitty years during high school. When I hated everything around me, Everhood kept my mind afloat. It's honestly a big piece of my heart and shaped my view on gaming as a whole. One of the best games of all time, no doubt. Music, characters, designs, art style, and combat, all phenomenal. 5 Big Booms

[i] What are you doing here? You're not supposed to be here... [/i] Everhood is a psychedelic wonderland dressed in blackness, the magical and beautiful atmosphere of it's world shinning bright colorful light through cracks and slits in the velvet black that shapes it. Only when the drapes of darkness part do you see the "real world". The color in the light that would blind if not obscured by The Dark. A Twilight Ballet. An Elegy of Chaos and Order. A Tango between Life and Death. There are many hidden truth's. One of those hidden truths is that there is more to this Ineffable Tale than just a game. There is something deeply therapeutic in progressing through and processing the plot while you dance, dodge, and fight your way through a barrage of notes being thrown at you by the inhabitants of Everhood. It requires intense focus and rhythm to make it through some of these songs, but once you find the groove Red begins to feel like an extension of yourself and navigating through the notes feels like your gliding on the frets. In a way Everhood helps me achieve a deeply meditative state that I can only compare to being at first in the eye of the storm to then becoming the storm in full force. The gameplay is a unique and innovative take on classic rhythm game mechanics, it's familiar but unlike most rhythm games you find yourself avoiding the notes rather than hitting them. Combat mechanic are introduced about halfway through the main plot of the game (I say "main plot" as there are several alternative endings, which I implore you to explore) and add a dark twist to the plot that leads you to question "Am I the bad guy?"; and I don't mean "is the character I am playing as the bad guy?" I mean "am /I/ the bad guy"? Whenever I launch Everhood, I find myself absorbed in the world, it has this way of holding my focus in such a way that for a moment nothing else around me exists. It's just me and the gnomes. Yet when I come out of it, somehow I always feel like I have fresh new perspectives on things that were clouding my thoughts. It brings clarity. All in all Everhood has carved out a little place for itself in my heart, and I am happy to have it rest there. It is worth so much more than the $20 it costs to buy, and if you are a completionist there are No Hit achievements for every fight and they will keep you VERY busy. There is something deeply sad and relatable in our (mostly) silent puppet protagonist. The Tale makes a very subtle point that humans can feel very contradictory emotions in tandem. Such as having awe and disgust, or glee and fear. It is easy to get swept away by the hypnotic beats and bright colors, but it is hard not to feel for the tortured souls that lie within the Everhoodian denizens. Especially Red; "The Red Marauder". At a certain point, you just want to let him rest, he doesn't want to be the bad guy, and you don't have to make him into one. With life comes death, with death comes suffering. All life entails some degree of suffering, but through that suffering you grow. You can look at yourself trapped in a life of suffering or you can learn to dance with the madness and enjoy the world's greatest play. You can be still. Your perspective will largely shape what Everhood is about between playthroughs and even scenes. A major message I got from Everhood is that You don't want to be the "bad guy" but even being the "sort of okay guy" takes some work, and being the "good guy" means making hard choices. Hard choices that you usually can't make twice. ((Also; this might just be me, but when I play for over an hour - retrying the same fights over and over and over again, and then pause it or exit out of the game and look away from the screen everything in the real world starts to kinda breathe, wobble, and shift around a bit, 10/10 video game induced optical hallucination. I am so here for it))

Everhood feels like Undertale got dosed with something strong, stared at a disco ball for five hours, and went, "Bro... let's talk about, like, life and stuff. Why are we here, man?" Fair question, Everhood. The comparisons to Undertale are obvious—from the scrappy pixel art and grumbly dialogue tones to the battle screen format. This is a surface-level comparison though; Everhood's remix of the formula is entirely its own. It's weird, it's musical, and it's chaotic. There are no random encounters here. Every fight is handcrafted, deliberate, and sonically unhinged. This means every boss fight is both a challenge and a vibe check to the player, and most of them go absolutely dummy. The core rhythm mechanic is the exact opposite you'd expect: instead of hitting notes, you’re dodging them. The attacks are the music. You’re not performing the song—you’re surviving it. And when the tracks start layering in wild tempos, shifting lanes, or going full bullet hell, it becomes a kind of synesthetic storm of chaos. The gnome song? Fire. The frog song? Transcendent. Even when you're dodging for dear life, you're enraptured by the music. Then halfway through, everything changes. I won't spoil it, but the moment you reclaim your arm is the moment Everhood truly begins. The way the gameplay flips from passive to aggressive is incredibly smart design, both thematically and mechanically. It reframes what you’ve been doing up to that point and subtly questions what your role in this world even is. It's at this point that you're given agency, your first opportunity to choose in a world that's been scripted from the start. Whatever you choose, it's unclear exactly what repercussions you'll face, but the ambiguity is part of the game's charm. Are you doing the right thing? Can you? At the end of the day, all you can do is keep dancing through the madness. Though this game is a fever dream in the best way, it leans into the surrealism a bit too hard at times. The story, while fascinating, is mostly told through cryptic whispers and disjointed visions, and while that leaves room for interpretation, it occasionally feels self-indulgent for its own sake. Still, the dream never breaks. The journey always feels worthwhile, even when you're not sure where it's headed. It should be obvious by now that Everhood gets a fat recommendation. It's a bizarre, musical odyssey that knows what it is and what it wants to do. It's not Undertale 2, and it doesn't try to be. It has its own pulse, its own rhythm, its own soul. And it's absolutely worth the play. Cinematic playthrough: https://youtu.be/kensvPEggZ0
