Damn you and Damn your Cuddly Lies!

Eversion is for sale on Steam for about £3.14 (10% off until 14th of June). It’s one of those Indie Games with a huge well-deserved rep, as it does what Indie Games do best: Takes a simple idea, perfects it and deconstructs it at the same time.

Essentially it’s Super Mario Bros written by H.P. Lovecraft. It looks and advertises itself as a Cute and Cuddly at first, and you do think “Oh great, a tacky Mario clone…”, then the real game begins. And Holy Shit, it begins.

I won’t spoil anything for y’all. Instead, I’m going to simply say you have to trust me on this one: There is a reason it comes with the warning “Not indicated for children or those of a nervous disposition”. If you have such a disposition I suggest you heed the warning.

We shall either go mad from the revelation or flee from the deadly light into the peace and safety of a new dark age.

The hands...dear god, the hands...

Quote of the Day
“The most merciful thing in the world, I think, is the inability of the human mind to correlate all its contents.”
Call of Cthulhu – H.P Lovecraft
