Everhood is a bizarre realm located on the edges of space and time. Its inhabitants are a peculiar lot. These otherworldly entities spend their days wandering labyrinthine castles. Clubbing and board games are popular pastimes here, as well. That is, until a gnome steals an arm from Red, the wooden doll. A seemingly simple quest to reclaim it begins to pull at the fraying threads of this strange world, unraveling a mystery and reality in the process.
Go on a trip through the doors of perception. Explore fantastical environments in the hunt for the pinched limb. Play hide and seek with animate mushrooms in the forest, win carnival prizes, and race go-karts against colorful characters like mages, sentient save points, robots, and vampires.
"Both Jordi (Roca) and I started Everhood as a very personal project in 2018 and it has grown so much since then. We really want to thank the community of the game, who supported it to what it has become today. It is a strange game that found its place in many people and I am glad to see this evolution. We are really happy to partner with BlitWorks Games for the Eternity Edition on Xbox and PlayStation versions in collaboration with Juuls Pomeranian and All-Seeing! two talented level designers of the Everhood community alongside 11 brilliant composers, to create a really unique experience that goes beyond what us, as creators, initially envisioned."
