It's trying so hard to be scary that it ends up just being funny. Also, it's damn short. I 100% it before the 2 hour mark and even before I got a trading card.

Eversion is a compact 2D platformer that uses familiarity as a deliberate form of misdirection. At first, it appears to be a cheerful retro adventure filled with colorful scenery, simple enemies, collectible gems, and an uncomplicated rescue mission.

GAME FOR GIRLS ONLY NO GUYS ONLY GIRLS AHAHAHAA

Despite now being 16 years old, I'd say this game is worth the 5 or so dollars you pay for it. It's a small package, but definitely a nice little puzzle game with some difficulty in the later worlds.

If you're into both puzzle games and horror, I'd say this game is a must-play!
