Our take on Evangeline™
Its calm, consequence-free structure removes the tension created by danger, failure, and deadlines. The trade-off is a focused narrative walk through a neighborhood rather than a game built around challenge, progression, or repeated experimentation.
What is Evangeline™?
Explore a monochrome neighborhood set in the 1980s and assemble its story as color directs attention through the environment.
Evangeline is a short, first-person narrative experience centered on love, loss, and the question of what to say in one final call to someone close. The game has no failure states, death, or time limits, allowing exploration at an individual pace. The definitive edition includes post-game extras, developer commentary, and VR support. VR mode is accessed through Steam’s beta settings. The experience uses color as both a visual guide and a central gameplay element, and the setting presents a detailed neighborhood containing a story about an act of love.
