The new tracks will be unlocked as the player progresses through the game’s main story, and will represent a real challenge for the most skilled ones!
Everhood is a bizarre realm located on the edges of space and time, populated by strange inhabitants of another world who walk the land eternally. That is, until a gnome steals an arm from a wooden doll called Red. A seemingly simple quest to reclaim it begins to pull at the fraying threads of this strange world, unraveling a mystery and the reality of that world itself in the process.
Immerse yourself in an ineffable tale, a deep story full of existentialism but also humor, friendship, amusing musical battles and strange delightful encounters through the doors of perception.
Learn about Red’s past and come ever-closer to finding the Absolute Truths of the universe… even though knowledge often comes at a cost.
Some of Everhood‘s eclectic residents aren’t content to let Red roam the realm freely. Face off against challengers ranging from multi-legged monsters to brothers who run a plank-selling business and the fearsome Gold Pig in musical battles. Avoid incoming attacks by moving, grooving, and leaping out of harm’s way while jamming out to bespoke battle themes as varied as the inhabitants of this curious community.
Red’s journey is teeming with secrets and world-alerting revelations. As Everhood‘s true nature begins to appear, adventurers will make decisions that impact Red’s role in the fate of everyone—and everything—the doll encounters. Experience a twisting story and overcome dance-based trials across five difficulty modes, a range of accessibility options, and an unlockable New Game Plus feature that calls into question everything that’s come before it.
