Evergate

Mechanics

In Evergate, the action is shown from the side perspective. During the game players travel across the vast worlds divided into four domains, each one ruled by a different deity. Numerous Sources have been distributed across different levels - after directing the power of the flame at one of them in such a way that its radius es through the nearby crystals, Ki can use their unique properties. This allows her to teleport (swapping places with the Source she was aiming at), create shock waves that allow for long jumps or even destroy the obstacles on her way to the source.

This mechanics is the foundation of both exploration and the puzzles waiting to be solved; there are more than a hundred of them, and they are all about getting to the exit. Players can freely experiment, looking for new solutions or trying to use all available crystals and combine the effects of their actions in chain reactions. Combat follows the same formula. Battles occur in the form of nightmares which trouble Ki and which grow significantly stronger.

By retrieving memories, Ki not only unlocks new types of crystals, but also gains access to new locations.

Technical aspects
