Evaluation

Evergate launched on September 1, 2020 as a complete, finished game — the developer had explicitly cancelled a planned Early Access release in February 2020, stating they wanted to "ship the polished and finalized game." Following launch, the developer shipped a quality-of-life update on October 29, 2020 (adding an accessibility mode, new artefacts, and gameplay tweaks) and a final small bug-fix patch on August 9, 2021. The only DLC ever released was the official soundtrack on November 10, 2020, which is fully available. There are no unreleased DLC items, no announced future content, and no roadmaps or developer statements indicating plans for additional updates. The last developer communication of any kind was the August 9, 2021 bug-fix patch. The game was designed and shipped as a self-contained 85-stage puzzle-platformer, and all available evidence points to it having been complete since that final patch.

About this game

"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.
