About This Game

Evangeline™ is a short narrative game where color guides you through the world. Set in the 1980s, you are thrown into a strangely familiar monochrome neighborhood and must piece together the story as you play.

Inspired by the loss of a loved one, Evangeline™ is about life, love, and loss, and will invite you to connect with those you care about.

Features:


  • Play the definitive edition of Raconteur Games' Evangeline™, featuring post-game extras, developer commentary, VR support and more.
  • Relax in a calming, serene environment. There is no way to fail, die, or run out of time ‒ Evangeline™ lets you play at your own pace.
  • Explore a detailed 1980s neighborhood to discover a life-changing act of love.
  • Experience a stunning world brought to life through the guidance of color.

Fans of games like Dear Esther, Journey, and Gone Home will feel right at home. Whether you want an emotional story that will give you a new perspective on love, or an exciting game mechanic where color guides you, Evangeline™ has something for everyone.

Evangeline™ was designed to be accessible by both hardcore and casual gamers. It has also been tailored to be enjoyable for most levels of color perception, such that color blind players should be able to enjoy the game no matter their situation.

FIrst let me start off with I normally dont even take a second look at these kinds of games. But being from the area that the game is based on I figured I would give it a try and I am glad I did. It is a very heartfelt and compassionate narative on love and life. Take it slow, read everything, and think about those around you in your life that mean something to you and maybe you will cry just like me. Well done Racantour games, im excited to see what you do next.

Evangeline is an interesting one. The game runs well under linux. I have played through the game a few times. Take your time and explore. Maybe watch the birds. But enjoy the game moment by moment. Best played with a controller at this time.

A lovely, darling game so simple in its foundations. Beautfiul aesthetics, gorgeous score, and a narrative that is relatable and hard-won and absolutely necessary. The intersectionality of color and emotion in particular make this a fantastic experience that will give you pause in the best way. Highly recommended!

[quote][url=https://store.steampowered.com/curator/9686972/]Follow "[b]First Person Exploration and Puzzle Games[/b]" for more games like this![/url][/quote] This game is split into two parts: the "actual" game, and then the actual game. The first part is divided into 6 days. In each day, you do one simple task (take out the garbage, bring in the mail, etc) and then walk down the street and look at a vase for some reason. Unfortunately, this part is broken. My first time doing day 2, I spent 20 minutes trying to figure out where to put the garbage can before restarting (which starts the game over, as there are no saves). The second time the trigger activated correctly. Even worse, there doesn't seem to be an actual story. There are a few notes and a journal you can find lying around, but they all seem random and irrelevant. The game takes 10 minutes to beat. After the credits, the "real" game begins. Here, you can walk around a house and read actual real-life love notes written...

VR only review: I cannot recommend this if you're thinking of getting a story experience for VR. There's several problems with the game. First and foremost, the scales are way off. Everything seems way too big and then you'll move through objects like they are not there. The video stutters along and I experienced frame rate issues. There's a big dot you then need to click on to either read the letters or be able to move on to the next objective. I was confused as to why you had to click on some objects. There isn't much of a reason for VR in this game. VR adds nothing to the experience. Rating 3/10, not the worst experience, but VR is in beta in this game and it's a terrible, unpleasant beta

This game is bad, guys. Terrible controls, no direction what so ever. It isn't even good at making you feel whatever it is it's trying to make you feel. Couldn't make it past the second day.

The color mechanic is very unique, and the writing is packed with feels! The birds are a nice touch too.

I have to say I was disappointed. Bought the game for $7.99 and it was so incredibly slow, even after clearing up space and updating my computer and lowering the graphics, I just gave up. Due to this I found the game confusing and I came to the conclusion that i had wasted my money.

This is a short little story, and says what it wants to say. Pretty cute and earnest, though a little confusing. It's probably not worth the price though, would recomend getting it on sale. This is a beautifily designed and intricate little world, perfect for short and simple exploration. The story itself is cute and intriguing, very well written.The choice of font and overall design is extremely well-done, as well as music and asset design. That being said, the objectives are a little confusing, however, not always clear where I'm supposed to be going or what to be looking for... The massive buttons on the side are [b]super[/b] immersion-breaking though, and takes away from the experience. PLEASE consider removing them (or at least consider an option to toggle them off in the options menu)
