Independent developer has released Evard The Hermit: Through Fears, a 2D action-adventure game set in medieval Europe with an original story. The game is available on Steam, along with a free demo. Evard, the main character, has a special gift that allows him to absorb other people's fears and phobias, which fills his mind with anxiety and pushes out his own memories.
He must face every single fear he took inside to get his past back. The game is inspired by The Witcher 3 and the colorful world of Ori, with diverse gameplay and a medieval world to explore. Players can enjoy calm walks, intense sword fights, and careful platforming challenges. The game's creator spent eight years developing it, making every frame look like a living drawing.
Key features include fighting 16 phobias, piecing together the story, and exploring a world with different environments. The full game and the free demo are available on Steam right now.
