The setup is one we’re all familiar with: bright colors, ambiguous kingdoms, and kidnapped princesses. It’s tried and true territory by this point in any gamer’s career. Jump on the bad guys, collect the gems, and make it to the flag. We know the rules. It’s nice and simple. Comfortable even.
Eversion does everything in its power to deny us that basic comfort. In doing so, it creates an experience that, alongside both Actual Sunlight and Depression Quest, attempts to tackle the idea of sadness and depression, two topics that video games have widely avoided discussing.

"The boxiest of all the bundles is back and I have dragged myself out of bundle-based retirement to cover it. Not like I used to mind you, with an ill-informed, rushed and relatively lazy new post, but with insightful (hopefully) and worthwhile (probably a bit of a stretch) reviews of the games. Think of it as something akin to my coverage of the very first Bundle in a Box – where I reviewed the debuting (and incredible) The Sea Will Claim Everything - but with a slightly less penetrative, far more promiscuous gaze."
Gamesta.com has a few more bundles to go to. The latest Bundle in a Box launched its Eclectic Delights, which offer 5 core titles for just $0.99 or 9 games for those that beat an average standing at less than 3 bucks at the time of writing.
The third game in DeltaGamer's Halloween special is the cute little Eversion.
