Everbloom (IGMC 2018)

Having been sent away by his parents to live with a caretaker after the war, Aster receives a mysterious letter from his father after years of silence. Filled with questions, he returns to the peaceful old town, only to find it in ruins…

Featuring fully hand-drawn art and backgrounds, 2.5d gameplay, and an original soundtrack, Everbloom is a story-driven puzzle adventure game, set in an unnamed European country still recovering from the devastation of the First World War. 

Made by a bunch of broke uni students and NEETs.

This was a submission for IGMC 2018, so there are quite a few things that are rushed, and/or cut from this prototype, though it is fully playable.  We hope to be able to revisit and improve with a polished version sometime in the near future. Click here to see our development log if you're interested in our ~1 month development process. 

Thanks for viewing! We hope you enjoy our game.

Game Tips:

If feeling a little stuck, interact with objects in the environment using the [space] key to possibly get hints on what to use, or to gain new items.

If feeling completely lost, a walkthrough is included in the link below. (We highly recommend trying to get through the game yourself first though!)
