Ever Near

Ever Near is  a (currently very short) story/puzzle game, created for the Pizza Game Jam 16. It's (intended to be) an emotional story driven game that plays with "possession" physics mechanics.

I'm not sure why, but the web build seems to be slightly more buggy than the desktop/windows build. It's highly recommended to play the desktop build. The web build seems to drastically reduce the force applied when trying to move possesed objects. The desktop build works with no issue.

Please read the below known bugs and resolutions if you are having some weird issues, get stuck or confused. The game is playable to the end (well, the end so far)

If you get fully stuck and things just seem broken, please do try download the windows build. If all else fails, check out the full playthrough video in the sidebar -->

Controls:

• Movement: WASD
• Interact: E
• Possess Object: LEFT CLICK (on object)
• Unpossess Object: RIGHT CLICK

The camera should follow you around certain corners and angles to keep things in view. Sometimes you may be walking through the trigger area for this multiple times in a second, so it may over-rotate. Just try walking back and forth to where the camera rotates and you should be able to fix it.

If the girl character gets stuck, just wait or try walk through her and wait. If no luck, restart game.

If you fall through the map, restart the game

Most other issues, restart the game. You should be able to get through the whole game.

The game is unfinished. If you see this, you have "finished" the current game:
