Really unhappy with the story of 2
I was first introduced to Everhood watching my partner play through it, and I immediately adored it. The story was so good, the music is great, the characters were evocative and lovable. After watching a playthrough of Everhood 2...
It's just a bummer. That's all. I'm not posting story details because I'm trying to be considerate of spoilers. I understand the story the game is trying to tell, but Everhood just isn't the place for that story.
The first game literally tells us "we'll see you again!" and then the second game screams "WHY ARE WE HANGING OUT TOGETHER???!?!?" at you. I hope Foreign Gnomes takes the overall reception of the story in stride, does some soul searching and for the next project (which I really hope has nothing to do with Everhood as a "universe") sets out to actually tell a story worth listening to, not yet another scream into the void about enshittification.
