Everholm

Everholm is a very weak ripoff of Stardew Valley, basically a spooky ghost steals your little sister so you have to play Farmville in a retro pixelcrap village. There's a couple of dozen Stardew Valley ripoffs on Steam now, they're easy to make and that's why creatively bankrupt amateur developers love them, but they don't offer anything of value to PC gamers at all. This one lacks polish, is rough around the edges, and is generally of very poor quality. In fact the most amusing part of this game was the developers delusional pricing (this weak ripoff costs more than Stardew Valley!!!). More on that later. There's an overwhelming amount of mediocre Visual Novel/E-book style cutscenes in this game. The developers failed one of the most basic, fundamental requirements of game design.. "Show, don't tell." So you'll spend a huge amount of time not playing the game, but clicking through endless lines of poorly written VN text cutscenes because the developers couldn't work out how to relate their narrative through the game mechanics, and decided instead it would be better to compete with reading a book for your time. We're here to play games, not read through hours of garbage in…

The witch is not at her place when she opens the shop. It takes her like 5 in-game hours to get there since she wanders around town for some reason constantly. Is it so the NPCs feel lively? So they walk around? Then just give her a magical cat inside the store as a clerk to buy from or something cuz smh. Also, the archive doesn't work on the first day since Alice isn't there at all. Is she hiding somewhere else? Are you supposed to put items in some top-secret spot? Idk, it's just confusing. Either bugged or not clear enough, but mby I'm not good at video games, who knows. PS: System Requirements Overview is kinda crazy for 2D 2D top-down game.... lol Other than being frustrating its ... Good. PS: COPPER SHOULD BE ON FLOOR ONE IN UNDERGROUND.

The 2.0 made me go back to this game. It has pacing issues for sure, but there is a lot of good, enjoyable content here, no game breaking bugs and a lot of fun to be had.

So far the game is engaging and fun. The storyline is interesting as are the tidbits of info you get from interacting with the townsfolk. However I think it could do a bit more in the way of explaining some stuff, and the various shopkeeper's hours are all over the place.

I love it! It’s like a Stardew valley but more in depth and you can have long or even longer days (my favorite setting). The story line is amazing and I love how much you get to know each character. Also.. magic? Yessss

I made it all the way to floor 20 of the mines just to find out I basically have to kill like 100 bush monsters to progress... and they’re probably the worst monster in the early game, with only like 4 of them on every floor. Feels way too grindy............ Watering plants with the upgraded watering can is also kind of a hassle since the game’s perspective makes it super easy to tap the wrong spot. The characters are pretty boring, and the demo is bad, laggy and outdated. the save data doesn’t carry over either. The keyboard controls are weird, and I really don’t like that you can’t change them. The whole lost sister storyline gets almost forgotten after, like, one day lol. You can also make way too much money during the first month, which makes progression feel kinda pointless. I did like how easy it is to harvest crops though... idk, there are definitely some nice ideas here, but the overall experience just feels kinda rough, as if it were a game in early access. it's not.
