'Welcome back to the Afterlife, Ki. Let's get you to the Evergate, and back to Earth' When a lost soul named 'Ki' awakens in the afterlife, her path back to earth is blocked by the ‘Evergate’. To return home, Ki must decipher her mysterious connection to kindred spirit as she navigates through memories of a time once past. Navigate through each new memory via 85 challenging stages. Harness the ‘Soulflame’ mechanic, unlock new abilities and find your own creative ways to reach each end gate. This ancient power of the Afterlife allows Ki to slow down time, take aim and fire a beam of energy at white surfaces known as 'The Source'. Use your Soulflame to smash through the mysterious crystals scattered throughout each memory. Unleash their power to soar to new heights, reach the unreachable and safely navigate perilous environments. Hit multiple crystals at once to combined their energies and find new creative ways to reach the end gate. Rise to the challenge and collect 'Essences' by reaching all the areas within each memory. Use them to unlock ancient artefacts and boost Ki's attributes. Move faster, jump higher and harness even greater powers! Gorgeous hand-drawn visuals and an elegantly orchestrated soundtrack - recorded by a live orchestra - immerse players in the Afterlife and bring dreams, nightmares and spirits alive in stunning detail. Stone Lantern Games is a Boston-based studio comprised of 4 MIT graduates. Like a gamer choosing a character class, each engineer on the team specializes in one of four proficiencies: Visual Effects, Art, Music, or Narrative. 

Press reviews: “Evergate surprised me. It looked at first to be slightly derivative of Ori and the Blind Forest, and I became interested in it because of those similarities, not in spite of them. In actuality, its common traits with Ori are superficial, and its strong focus on the puzzle part of the puzzle-platformer genre makes for a rich and wholly distinct experience.” 8/10 – GAMESPOT “The level designs of Evergate are fiendishly clever, and it’s very clear that the creative and mathematical minds of Stone Lantern were hard at work to craft stages” 9/10 – Bonus Stage “...delightfully clever level design, pixel-perfect platforming, a beautiful art style and sumptuous orchestral score” 9/10 – NintendoLife
