Evan's Remains is a mystery-thriller puzzle adventure about finding a missing boy: Evan. The game combines logic-based platform puzzles with narrative inspired by Japanese graphic adventure games. Gameplay: Every time the player solves from two to three puzzles, the story goes forward and new mechanics are introduced. The challenge of the puzzles lies in the player’s ability to figure out what do rather than solve challenges based on skill. As the difficulty curve increases, the puzzles become more complex by combining two or more previously introduced mechanics. Story: Evan, the genius boy, has been missing for years. One day, a letter signed by him is received, claiming he’s on an uninhabited island somewhere in the Pacific Ocean. Nobody knows why, but he asked specifically for a girl named “Dysis” to go and look for him. The player will take control of this girl, who we don’t know much about. As we follow Dysis’s adventure, questions will start to be answered little by little. All of the little puzzle pieces which seemed unrelated in the beginning will now begin to slowly fit together as the truth is slowly revealed.

A third-person sword-action game set inside one castle that remembers itself twice — and your blood can force it from one memory to the other, mid-fight. You are the Uncrowned, the last unbound heir of House Vaelor. Beneath Caer Veyr lies the Crownheart, the ancient engine that tore the keep into two memories when its last king tried to hold it forever. Call on it and the ruin around you becomes the living castle it was: walls rise, torches burn, the old guard wakes. A door sealed in the Past lies broken open in the Present; a stair that collapsed centuries ago still stands in the other memory. • Fast, weighty sword combat — five-cut chains, a Great Sword route, guard and parry, ripostes, executions and cinematic finishers. • Fight to earn Resonance, then spend it to shift between the Past and the Present right where you stand. • Three floors: the lower keep, the Royal Floor and the descent to the Crownheart — Echoes, monsters, mini-bosses and the Last Crown waiting at the bottom. • Unlock two hold techniques: the Crownbreaker and the Whirlwind. • A narrated, illustrated chronicle of the fall of Veyr, 26 achievements, and cloud saves at every Blood Sigil. • Play with keyboard and mouse, or on your phone held sideways.
