‘Everlove’ Reviewed on Hardcore Droid

Silicon Sisters’ new character driven adventure Everlove blends escapism, romance and very accessible gameplay, says Hardcore Droid writer Meg Stivison. Although billed as romance, and featuring plenty of handsome male characters, this isn’t a dating sim. Players are quickly caught up in royal intrigue, a peasants’ rebellion and a mystical curse. From the very beginning, Rose needs to investigate carefully, and decide which characters to support. Getting closer to one character might antagonize or alienate another, but fortunately there’s no “right” way to play the story. After gathering a new piece of evidence, players are offered a choice of who to share that clue with, and each choice has game consequences, creating many paths for players to explore. Will you support the rebels or rat them out to the royals? When you hear the sounds of a monster in the forest, will you battle it, run away, or try to bluff? The abundance of handsome fellows in town is just the icing on the fantasy escapism cake.
