What players say
Evergate combines precise platforming with clever puzzle mechanics centered around its Soulflame ability. Levels gradually introduce new ideas, keeping the gameplay fresh without becoming overwhelming. The beautiful visuals and emotional soundtrack create a relaxing atmosphere even during more challenging sections. A polished indie puzzle-platformer that's both thoughtful and rewarding.

Evergate, developed by Stone Lantern Games and published by PQube, is a beautifully melancholic puzzle-platformer that blends spiritual storytelling with precise, skill-based gameplay. Set in a dreamlike vision of the afterlife, the player takes on the role of Ki, a small soul traversing through ethereal worlds to rediscover memories of her past life and earn the right to reincarnate. What begins as a simple journey...
Evergate is a handheld (Nintendo Switch)/console game that's also been put on Steam as a bit of an afterthought, as it's very much designed for the handheld/console gaming audience. It's a mediocre 2D retro platformer, one of many thousands of 2D retro platformers infesting Steam. This is probably one of the better ones, but there's no prizes for being the tallest midget. This one has you control some "soulflame"...
