Everdine - A Lost Girl's Tale

Мммм, все складно. По-перше це не жахи, а радше трішки фентезійна казочка, що майже не має сюжету, а який має, той легко пропустити, бо нашось тут аж 4 різних закінчення, що відрізняються мінімумом дій та тим, що кожне наступне дає трііішечки більше лору. Й той зрештою весь веде внікуди. Візуально - вах-вах, музика та звуки занадто гучні (не налаштовуються), звуки ще й на мій погляд невдало підібрані зовсім, але біс із ним. По суті вся гра це збір штук зі списку, який ви отримуєте майже одразу й хоча героїня ніц не знає, нашо, про всяк випадок бігає збирає чергові шмарклі тролів й квіти папороті. Та й таке. Щоб не було нудно, бідосю постійно намагатимуться зжерти, заплутати чи банально вбити, 10500 смертей героїні, знову ж єдиний такий-сякий бонус - більшість має своє манімалістичне зображення. Я вже купу разів писав, що бігати від умовної хтоні то не моє, але тут в принципі немає іншого геймплею, тому матюкався, страждав, терпів, а зрештою... ні про що.

The good: + Beautiful visual/artstyle. + Great OST. + Nice atmosphere/ambiance. The bad: - Lack of game setting/option. Aside from volume/windowing mode which exist on most game, lack of toggle "Always run" made me press SHIFT for >2 hours. The ugly: * Lack of skip/quick load when you die, considering you could die frequently. * Boring story/character. There are too few foreshadowing to make people curious about the story. * While there are 4 endings, [spoiler]none of them has satisfying resolution or at least tragic/bad ending in attempt to solve root of the conflict[/spoiler]. While this game has superb visual/audio, the storytelling is executed poorly. Unless you're RPGMaker enthusiast, i wouldn't recommend this game.

Everdine is quite the little gem! The music, graphics and gameplay are very well made and enjoyable. I fell in love with it from the opening sequence! It's a typical "horror game" for RPG Maker with puzzles, gather stuff and run for your life. It isn't gory or relying on jump scares but the deaths were great and I hope I haven't missed any. I haven't finished all endings but and from other reviews and discussions I can safely say I will be wanting more.. So I'm hoping for a dlc or another game in this world that will explain more. It is a finished product though and I'm glad I bought it. It's really good even though not very long! On the "negative" side, I would add the lack of "always run" option (and entering shift would slow things down as there are very few instances where this is needed), a "skip dialogue" option after viewing it for the first time as some are right before some chase sequence (but again, not a major issue) and some way to point out to what we are missing or a hint as to how to unlock it. All in all, I would suggest it to everyone as it's a great experience and a perfect example that RPM Maker games aren't only asset flips with zero creativity. The game has no bugs from what I saw. I'd like a stronger female lead as a woman myself but I still liked the girl and she definitely isn't weak. I hope this game gets the recognition it deserves and has good sales, as so to see and more from the developer! Nice work! The pricetag is fair for the time it takes to complete the game and what it offers. One of the few small indie games I didn't wait on a heavy discount (I bought it at 25% off) and I don't regret a cent. Congratulations! Edit: I just finished everything in the game and yes, it is like I predicted it.. I wish to know more!

First, I would like to say the art and the atmosphere of the game. Each illustration, the sprite and the environment are all spectacular. Despite the nice maps, not many of the maps had much to do in them and then there are other that are too big. The plot revelations were interesting as well, but the lack of foreshadowing made the moment lack any punch. The gameplay loop is decent. You didn't reveal very much information about the characters so it was hard to form a connection with the character. This game started out promising but the lack of information really hinders my enjoyment of the game.

Everdine has great music and visuals. The gameplay for the most part is in line with other RPG Maker experiences, featuring a combination of puzzle solving and running for your life. I would say it's somewhat mislabeled as "Horror". It's not particularly scary, and I might better describe it as a thriller or fantasy adventure. In that role, I think it performs well. The game has a variety of interesting environments that mesh well with its visual aesthetic. Its strengths being said, I think the game falls short of its potential towards the end. [spoiler]Most of the characters don't play into any of the endings. In fact, our main character and one other are pretty much the only ones with any direct influence on the endings. Many interesting characters are therefore left without satisfying resolutions, and we are left to wonder what became of them and how they reacted to the choices of our characters--particularly in Ending 4 which is the only ending that significantly deviates.[/spoiler] While adjusting the content towards the end would've made for a more satisfying experience, on the whole Everdine was enjoyable and worthwhile for any lover of story-based RPG Maker titles.

[h1] Настолько просто, что даже хорошо! [/h1] Короткая, но атмосферная игрушка, про девочку, которая заблудилась в лесу. Игра с виду кажется прям простенькой, в ней нет настроек, в главном меню вообще две кнопки (загрузить и новая игра, даже выйти нельзя), но за этой обёрткой скрывается [b] ТАКАЯ [/b] атмосфера, что словами не передать, мне лично игра очень сильно напомнила OneShot, только более простой, и я бы даже сказал бы ламповее? [spoiler] ИМХО но в Ваншоте буквально кроме очень милого главного героя ничего такого нет [/spoiler] Мы имеем лес с фентезийными персонажами, но боже мой, как же они тут красиво нарисованы, артстайл в игре такой потрясающий, что просто глаз не оторвать от здешних персонажей, хочется сидеть разглядывать их до мельчайших деталей. В добавок на фоне играется спокойный OST, который предаёт игре некий шарм, а при сочетании с локацией получаешь феерическое эстетическое наслаждение. Мне очень понравилась игра, буквально ПОЛНОСТЬЮ попала в мой вкус, где весь упор сделан в визуальное восприятие, а не сюжет, я бы даже сказал бы что игра вообще сюжетом не блещет. В общем, если вы любитель RPG maker игр, то эта игра просто скрытый алмазик, обязательна к покупке! [i] Спасибо за прочтение! [/i]

Прекрасная игра, прекрасный визуальное исполнение, трагическая история, игра поразила меня своей глубиной но показалось маловато, порадовало наличие аж 4-х концовок, очаровательные арты с персонажами, отдельный респект за саунд состовляющую, ждем новых игр от студии, для дебюта похвально! в общем моя оценка 9/10 полное прохождение на русском можете посмотреть на моем канале: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WMLXipWJUWk&t=151s

It's not a bad game per se, but it's not a great one either. The storytelling is lacking by a lot, and so is the dialogue, it's as cliché and predictable as it can be. The sprites are pretty and quite well done though. The game tells you almost nothing about the main villain and it's servants and it just stays like that, it's like they were put there just for the sake of it [spoiler](what was the point of the servants? And why does the villain have a castle that you can't access? And what's with the strange crying ghost girl and the darkening cave that kills you if you stay there too long?)[/spoiler] There's too many things that felt somewhat out of place and needed more context. I searched around for a 5th ending but I haven't found it (not sure if it even exists in the first place), I really hope there's one because the other endings felt really rushed and incomplete. This game is mediocre and forgettable at best and feels quite incomplete if I'm being honest. I've played many, many rpgmaker games out there (over 150) and this one just doesn't cut it, even comparing it to some free rpgmaker games out there. *note to the developer/s* this review isn't meant to discourage you (it seems to be your first and only game so far), there's potential here to make something truly great, you already got the hang of the sprites and the layout and decoration of the maps, you just need to work more on the storytelling and the dialogue department and I think you'll go far.

beautiful art of the whole map and characters overall, the journey to find items were fun and not repetitive, just a bit hard. love this developer and their own style of making games
