“There is a great evil coming. It will arrive and unmake the world, whether we choose to believe in its existence or not. Perhaps I am too late, and my discoveries only burden me with a knowledge of the inevitable….yet I cannot succumb to such invasive notions! Action must be taken, or a watery grave will be the shared fate of us all.”
The Everrain is a cooperative story driven exploration game 1-4 players. The world is drowning beneath an endless deluge of rain as an ancient deity awakens to remake the world in its image, and players must head out into this dark and foreboding seascape to discover the source of the Everrain and prevent it from unmaking the world.
Players must work together to advance the player track around the board by finding ancient relics, exploring the map and launching expeditions ashore. But the enemy is also on this track, and should they advance quicker than the player then the game will become harder as the Old One stirs from it's slumber.
In the Everrain, each player takes control of their own ship, and with it their own unique crew. Each crew member has their own composition of stats and personality traits that effect how they behave and interact with the world. Your crew are the lifeblood of your ship, and their placement and use greatly affect what you are able to do. Issuing orders allows you to operate your ship, traverse the world and explore a variety of locations.
All captains live and die by their vessels. Above deck, Crew will need to man the various nodes of the ship to move, explore and fight. Below deck, a variety of rooms and weapons can be constructed to change the functionality of the ship and tailor your craft to your play style.
Though the Old One sleeps, its presence can be felt in the world. Creatures that work to hasten the arrival of It will try to impede your progress by any means they see as necessary. As your adventure progresses, you will encounter increasingly more twisted and dangerous enemies that will push the limits of any crew.
