Evergate

"Welcome back to the Afterlife, Ki. Let's get you to the Evergate, and back to Earth." Upon awakening in the afterlife, the spirit named Ki finds her journey home obstructed by the 'Evergate'. To return to the mortal world, Ki must solve the mystery of her bond with a kindred spirit while traveling through memories of the past. Journey through each memory using 85 distinct and difficult levels. Utilize the 'Soulflame' mechanic, acquire new skills, and devise inventive strategies to open every exit gate. This ancient ability of the Afterlife grants Ki the power to slow time, take aim, and fire an energy beam at white surfaces called "The Source". Employ your Soulflame to break the mysterious crystals found throughout the memories. Harness their energy to fly higher, access impossible areas, and survive dangerous surroundings. Target several crystals at once to combine their forces and discover creative routes to the end. Take on the challenge and gather "Essences" by exploring every section of each memory. Use them to uncover ancient artifacts and upgrade Ki's abilities. Increase speed, jump height, and gain even more power! Stunning hand-drawn graphics and a graceful soundtrack—played by a live orchestra—engage players in the Afterlife, vividly bringing to life dreams, nightmares, and ghosts.
