Everdine - A Lost Girl's Tale

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.

like some of the other reviews have pointed out (both positively and negatively), everdine plays its story pretty straight. if you know other stories with similar tone to this one, you'll probably find it a bit familiar, front to back. i think it's really solid though! the artwork in particular has a really lovely atmosphere to it, the emotional cores of danger, possibility, and longing are all competently delivered, and even if you predict where the good ending is headed, it still hits pretty much how you would hope it would. i think a certain type of person is going to be drawn to this game from the steam page, and that certain type of person is generally going to get what they were looking for here. it's a nice, solid little game!

A short, enjoyable, and very pretty game. The story isn't really that interesting and there were some points where it could have benefited a lot from better signposting about what you were meant to do, but the atmosphere and artwork made it an enjoyable enough experience. Not sure its one I'll be thinking of for years to come, but for $5 and 2 hours of my time, I think it was a very worthwhile game.

Great atmosphere! Very pretty and the characters are cute.

Finally, an RPGMaker game with a protagonist that doesn't have amnesia. Charming game. The developer took the time to flesh out the gameplay with a nice variety of soundtracks, sound effects and voice-blips. The character portrait and cutscene-backdrop illustrations are excellent. I very much liked the sprites and tilesets. There are a fun variety of puzzles (non-story spoiler [spoiler] rock-pushing, quick time events, running from monsters while things pop up and block your path. [/spoiler] There are quite a few different ways for Everdine to meet her demise. The gameplay loop is a straightforward collect-the-thing and reveal plot secrets, which is like old-school / prototypical RPGMaker esque format. The game is not challenging, but you should probably save often. I think you will like it, especially if you like RPGMaker games. Feedback to the developer ([spoiler] You did an AMAZING job, please make more RPGMaker games! [/spoiler])

Türünün içinde en güzel görselliğe sahip olan oyun. Kısa ve karışık değil daha ne olsun! 8/10.

Great RPG inside a fantastic and scary universe ! The main character is very cute !

Красивая, но короткая игра с жопоболючими головоломками, правда сюжет будто дальше чернового варианта не ушел.

За свои 200 рублей я ожидала немного большего х) Кратко об игре: + Не используется стоковая графика, всё своё и причём хорошо вписывается в игру. + Отдельные красивые CG. + Отличная музыка. + Фентазийная тематика, особенно давно не видела игр про прекрасный народец. + Довольно интересные персонажи... - ...которое очень слабо раскрываются. Вам дадут кое-какую информацию и всё. - Сюжет в целом выглядит как черновик, где а не как целостное произведение, хоть и есть несколько концовок. Из-за этого не срабатывает главный сюжетный поворот. - Концовки также выглядят недостаточно завершенными. - Загадки здесь не блещут разнообразием, вам придётся либо бежать, либо что-то находить, и потом присоединять к нужному предмету. Повторить несколько раз. - Иногда совершенно неочевидно, что надо делать дальше или куда идти. - Слишком большие локации, где надо бегать туда-сюда, а короткие пути не дают. В общем, игра на один раз. Советую купить, но разве что по скидке и если совсем нечего делать.

엄... 해외에서도 그렇게 유명한 게임은 아니기에 이 평가를 보시는 한국인 분들은 별로 없겠지만 스토리는 그저 그렇습니다. 게임은 약각 힐링 게임이기에 도파민을 원하시는 분들에게는 지루하실수도 있을 것 같습니다. 하지만 원래의 쯔꾸르 게임들과는 달리 그래픽이 압도적으로 뛰어나기에 눈호강 하기에는 최고입니다. 마지막으로 한국어 번역 지원을 하지 않으니 기본적인 영단어는 숙지 후 플레이 하시길 바랍니다.
