Item Description

A boy, his dog and a head full of B-movies: Secret of Evermore follows a kid from the small town of Podunk who chases his dog into a deserted laboratory and ends up pulled into Evermore, a strange world built from someone else's imagination. It is also a unique piece of Square history, the only game made by the company's American team in Redmond, Washington, released in 1995 in North America and Europe but never in Japan.

Each of Evermore's four regions borrows from a different kind of adventure story: the prehistoric jungles of Prehistoria, the colosseums and pyramids of Antiqua, the castles of Gothica and the space-age Omnitopia. The dog changes to fit each one, becoming a wolf, a greyhound, a poodle and finally a robotic toaster, and he is far more than a mascot. He fights at your side, can be controlled directly, and sniffs out the ingredients that power the game's most distinctive system.

Instead of a standard spell list, the boy learns alchemy from eccentric alchemists scattered across Evermore. Formulas are cast by spending ingredients such as wax, ash, clay, crystals and bones, so gathering and bartering for them, including in Antiqua's sprawling market, becomes part of the adventure, and each formula grows stronger the more you use it. Combat borrows the real-time action, charge-up attacks and ring menu of Secret of Mana, but Evermore has a more Western, cinematic sense of humor, with the hero viewing every new danger through the lens of the monster movies and sci-fi serials he loves.

Jeremy Soule's first major score gives the world an unusual atmosphere, often ambient and textural rather than melodic, an early glimpse of the composer who would later shape the sound of The Elder Scrolls. Evermore has long lived in Secret of Mana's shadow, but that comparison sells it short. It is a stranger, more personal game, an American team's love letter to Hollywood adventure filtered through Square's action RPG formula, and nothing else in the Super Nintendo library feels quite like it.
