STOCKHOLM – Mar. 4, 2025 – Everhood 2, the Unconventional Action RPG (UARPG) sequel to one of 2021’s best-reviewed indie games with over 600,000 units sold, launches today on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch. Developer Foreign Gnomes released the original psychedelic journey of self-discovery exactly four years ago.

You will laugh. You may cry. You will almost certainly confront the abyss and see humanity in a new light. Dance between realities as a meddling soul sent on a quest to face off against carrot magicians, Joan of Arc, divine mushrooms, and a mysterious Mind Dragon hellbent on bringing existential ruin to not just this world but to every universe there could ever be.

Battle to the beat of more than 100 electrifying songs. Encounter unpredictable enemies with rhythmic attack patterns, dodge incoming assaults, and counterattack by harnessing color-coded energy that turns unbroken combos into offensive explosions.

Collect otherworldly weapons like the legendary pair of Moon Blades or teeth-chattering Skull Axe. Upgrade an animated armory alongside a menagerie of memorable characters — all relying on your actions to maintain the reality of their existence. Dig deep with flowery facsimiles of Carl Jung, Rasputin, and Terrance McKenna, among other colorful characters,

Discover the truth while navigating through the war-torn Vegetable Kingdom, futuristic branches of reality, the pocket dimension of an all-knowing entity, and other absurd worlds on the brink of disaster. Befriend the celestial Raven, guiding you through all of this, and work alongside an eclectic cast of companions to slay the mighty Mind Dragon threatening every dimension.

“If you played the first game, you think you might know what to expect here,” said Chris Nordgren, co-founder of Foreign Gnomes. “You are probably a better dancer in battle than most newcomers, but plenty of surprises lie in wait. There’s so much packed in this sequel, from Lucy the Green Slime’s rogue escapades to new combat mechanics — and a whole new crop of fighting tunes — something is bound to stick in your head and never come out. For that, we apologize, but also, you’re welcome.”

Everhood 2 expands consciousness for players on PC via Steam and Nintendo Switch (North American and European territories) today for $14.99 with English, Japanese, French, Simplified and Traditional Chinese language support. Everhood 2 will launch on Nintendo Switch in Asian territories this Thursday, March 6, 2025.

STOCKHOLM – March 4, 2021 – Everhood, the unconventional RPG adventure from Foreign Gnomes where nothing is as it seems, explores the boundaries of existence and rocks out to musical battles on Nintendo Switch and Steam for Windows PC today.

Welcome to Everhood, a bizarre realm located on the edges of space and time. Its inhabitants are a peculiar lot. These otherworldly entities spend their days wandering labyrinthine castles. Clubbing and board games are popular pastimes here, as well. That is, until a gnome steals an arm from Red, the wooden doll. A seemingly simple quest to reclaim it begins to pull at the fraying threads of this strange world, unraveling a mystery and reality in the process.

Go on a trip through the doors of perception. Explore fantastical environments in the hunt for the pinched limb. Play hide and seek with animate mushrooms in the forest, win carnival prizes, and race go-karts against colorful characters like mages, sentient save points, robots, and vampires. Learn about Red’s past and come ever-closer to finding the Absolute Truths of the universe.

But knowledge often comes at a cost. Some of Everhood’s eclectic residents aren’t content to let Red roam the realm freely. Face off against challengers ranging from multi-legged monsters to brothers who run a plank-selling business and the fearsome Gold Pig in musical battles. Avoid incoming attacks by moving, grooving, and leaping out of harm’s way while jamming out to bespoke battle themes as varied as the inhabitants of this curious community.

Red’s journey is teeming with secrets and world-alerting revelations. As Everhood’s true nature begins to appear, adventurers will make decisions that impact Red’s role in the fate of everyone – and everything – the doll encounters. Experience a twisting story and overcome dance-based trials across five difficulty modes, a range of accessibility options, and an unlockable New Game Plus feature that calls into question everything that’s come before it.

“Everhood began as a side project between my co-developer Jordi Roca and me,” said Chris Nordgren, co-founder, Foreign Gnomes. “Since then, it’s evolved into the strange, vibrant, and mysterious game that we are so proud to share with everyone on Nintendo Switch and Steam today. Sign the contact, sell your soul, and join us in Everhood!”

Everhood is now available on Nintendo Switch for $14.99 and Steam for $9.99. It features English, French, Chinese (Simplified and Traditional), and Japanese language options. The PC version launches with beta mod support in the form of a fully-featured custom battle editor. Additional updates will be available following launch.

Sign the contract, sell your soul, and step into a mystical realm between the known planes of existence called Everhood.

Perform evasive maneuvers to outlast Red’s rivals while jamming out to bespoke boss fight themes that range from twangy chiptunes to heavy industrial beats and span everything in between.
