Stone Lantern Games expansive 2D puzzle-platformer, Evergate, hit their Kickstarter funding goal and have now released 3 stretch goals.
In Evergate, players guide a child-like soul name Ki on her journey in the afterlife. The game features a unique align-to-shoot mechanic where players unleash Soulflame and harness trapped energy from crystal to solve puzzles, find lost memories, and save Ki’s spirit.
There are over 100 puzzles with open-ended solutions, over 10 crystals with unique powers, lore filled afterlife, and colossal battles against gods and nightmares. All of this is set to a scene filled with hand-drawn artwork and a rich soundtrack.
Evergate met its goal with 14 days left of the campaign. Shortly after hitting the $25,000 initial goal, the team released three new stretch goals. At $27,000, which has already been met and unlocked, is the Earthbound Crystal. Players can unleash a stream on magma along the Soulflame that hardens to form more terrain.
More memory from Ki’s past life during the Industrial Revolution is unlocked at $30,000 for the Astral Plane Memory goal. This goal adds 5 new puzzles and a steampunk inspired nightmare battle. At $35,000 the Supercharged Soulflame amplifies crystal effects, but at the cost of burning up the source used.
When the Kickstarter campaign hit 91% funding, Stone Lantern Games released a new demo for Evergate.
The stretch goals graphic has space for more stretch goals. At the time of this article’s posting the Evergate Kickstarter stands at $27,745 with 12 days to go. Funding for this project ends on Friday, February 15, 2019 at 2:02 AM PST. Visit the Kickstarter page to download a free demo and fund this project.
