Everhood 2021
Everhood is a 2021 adventure RPG video game that uses a minimalistic world and battle mechanics reminiscent of Guitar Hero. The game was developed by Chris Nordgren and Jordi Roca, who are known by the studio name Foreign Gnomes. Players take control of Red, a living wooden doll, in an effort to reclaim their stolen arm from Gold Pig, an immortal being within the land of Everhood. During the journey, Red teams up with Blue Thief, a small creature, while meeting various characters who either help or hinder the quest.
Development began in 2018 and the game launched on Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch on March 4, 2021. An expanded version titled Everhood: Eternity Edition was released on September 28, 2023 for PlayStation 4, PlayStation 5, Xbox One, and Xbox Series X/S. The original received positive feedback for its gameplay, visuals, and soundtrack, although issues such as a confusing storyline, extended load screens, and occasional spelling mistakes were noted.
A follow-up titled Everhood 2 was released on Windows and Nintendo Switch on March 4, 2025 to "generally favorable" reviews, though it did not achieve the same level of praise as the first game.
