eversion

eversion starts from a side-scrolling platformer’s familiar shape and then keeps folding that shape into something stranger. Its hook is the way it uses level structure and perspective shifts to turn ordinary movement into puzzle solving, so each screen asks for a little re-reading. By our assessment, that is the game’s real strength: the ideas are sharp, and the surprise comes from systems rather than from noise. The downside is that the whole thing is quite short and built around a single central trick, so it can feel slight once the logic clicks. In play, it rewards attention to edges, hidden passages, and what the stage is really doing behind the obvious path. It sits closer to experimental puzzle-platforming than to a long adventure, and it will suit players who like clever design more than padding.
