I have very few words for Everhood.
It is a game that'll take you in a psychedelic trip through a dark but oddly endearing world. You'll realise it could not be that far from our own, and you will be pent up by existentialism at least once or twice. Despite being a bit rich in its potential meaning, it doesn't rob itself from being an incredibly fun and engaging experience.
About the game, the front page describes it simply and accurately but does it little justice. This game's soundtrack is sparse, varied, memorable and an instant classic. Made by so many different composers, every track is palpably unique and well placed, and it does very well on leading the gameplay. You can play this game with one hand, that's how simple it is, but the low skill floor has an extremely high (not to say infinite) ceiling. Once you finish the game you'll likely have a reason to come back: Hone your skills with the scored battles' leaderboards, play a no-hit run or simply run the NG+ for extra secrets and different endings. it never ends in Everhood
There's little to be said, but it's one of those that shows you that indie means passion, and anything with passion is worth loving.
