Game Review: Eversion (Halloween Special)
Neither this game nor my review of it are for the faint of heart. That said, Eversion is an inventive, enjoyable and surprisingly creepy little platformer that I reviewed in… the appropriate manner. Also, meet my *other* alter-ego: Psycho Pixie.
The game comes in free and paid flavors, the latter of which is now found on Steam and has several enhancements. You can get Eversion here:

I just played Eversion again before watching this review.
Did you draw the background and butterflies and things yourself? I like how you evert as well. In fact, your “enter the game” trick is what sets you apart from other reviewers. Keep it up!
I didn’t draw the butterflies (they came from a font), but I did color them in. ^^ The rest of it, yeah, I either drew in Photoshop or created with some 3D rendering software.
Again, thank you. It really does make me happy that you’re enjoying these.
Being “part” of the game works best for the ones that have clever settings and/or concepts that I can play with. Unfortunately, my current project… isn’t exactly a game anyone would want to get that involved with. ^_^;
What’s your current project?
I think you could do amazing things with Silent Hill if you made a video about that. SH has a concept that’s similar to Eversion, done in a different way. I talked about it a bit more in my reply to your last comment in the Cheesecake video, but basically if I could request a particular game from the series, it would be SH3.
Right now, I’m working on… Shaq Fu. It should be a lot less labor-intensive than my last two reviews were. Well, aside from the fact that I have to play Shaq Fu. ^^;
I actually *can’t* review PS2 games at the moment. ^^; If I could, though, I’d definitely add those to the list along with Rule of Rose.
Silent Hill 2, 3 and 4 have PC versions. In fact, even though I have a PS3, I have the PC version of all those games.
Looking forward to seeing how you integrate yourself into the world of Shaq Fu!
B-but it was so cute at the beginning….. Oh…. It’s worrisome…
*evil laugh* ^^
The first time I played Eversion, I’d already seen a Let’s Play of it. And I STILL wasn’t prepared for how delightfully creepy it is when you actually play it.
I should have just turned around when I saw the lovecraft quote at the top of the download page. I mean really, that should have been a giveaway. But no, I’d heard it was good, so I figured “how scary could it be? let’s try it.”
