Evergate

Evergate suits players who enjoy calm puzzles, floaty platforming and a quiet, melancholy mood. Nothing rushes you here: you untangle Ki's memories at your own pace and pick your own route to each exit. What to expect: - The first hours go into learning Soul Flame: slowing time, aiming and shattering crystals to build a path upward. - Puzzles reward experimentation, and the same obstacle often has several different solutions. - The hand-drawn art looks like living watercolor, and the live orchestral soundtrack stands out from the usual indie fare. - Collecting essences and unlocking artifacts happens at your own speed, so the game fits well into evening sessions. You get a Steam activation key for the Global region, shown on the order page right after payment. To buy the Evergate key, place your order on the site, and your Evergate Global key will be waiting there. "Welcome back to the Afterlife, Ki. Let's get you to the Evergate, and back to Earth" When a lost soul named "Ki" awakens in the afterlife, her path back to earth is blocked by the ‘Evergate’. To return home, Ki must decipher her mysterious connection to kindred spirit as she navigates through memories of a time once past. Navigate through each new memory via 85 challenging stages. Harness the ‘Soulflame’ mechanic, unlock new abilities and find your own creative ways to reach each end gate. This ancient power of the Afterlife allows Ki to slow down time, take aim and fire a beam of energy at white surfaces known as "The Source". Use your Soulflame to smash through the mysterious crystals scattered throughout each memory. Unleash their power to soar to new heights, reach the unreachable and safely navigate perilous environments. Hit multiple crystals at once to combined their energies and find new creative ways to reach the end gate. Rise to the challenge and collect "Essences" by reaching all the areas within each memory. Use them to unlock ancient artefacts and boost Ki's attributes. Move faster, jump higher and harness even greater powers! Gorgeous hand-drawn visuals and an elegantly orchestrated soundtrack - recorded by a live orchestra - immerse players in the Afterlife and bring dreams, nightmares and spirits alive in stunning detail.
