Thankfully they don’t move around, but if you jump, or throw a cube, their murderbot vision turns red and they turn to face the sound. The Roundybots are particularly sensitive to sound, so Maya automatically begins creeping once she gets within a certain radius of them. These Portal-looking things will instantly zap anything they see or hear, which brings me neatly to the stealth part of Ever Forward’s puzzles. Roundybots are little spheres with a bright, blue light emanating from an eye-like spotlight, which essentially lets you know where not to go. Not that that makes it any cuter when they zap poor Maya, disintegrating her. Of course, it’s never as simple as it sounds, thanks to the aforementioned murderbots. Maya is accompanied by a floating cube-like robot called CPQ, which can help her fly around to new destinations in this dream world, but also acts as the key to unlocking and solving Ever Forward’s various puzzles.Įach puzzle can be boiled down to a simple premise: get a cube to the end of the puzzle area. Every time you find a corrupted area, you’re transported to a surreal landscape of clean whites and stark reds, very Mirror’s Edge-like. It’s when you leave the island that things take yet another turn. It’s actually quite Breath of the Wild in its style, while out on the island. We are shown a flash of a view that doesn’t match up to Maya’s surroundings, something futuristic, before darkness and corruption begins spreading around various points of the island.
There is something special about the colourful palette of the island, but there is also something wrong. She enjoys the sand between her toes as she runs to the edge of the beach, and we’re right there with her, admiring the beautiful vista.

It’s actually a very dark game, the more I think about it.Įver Forward begins with Maya, a young girl in a floaty white dress, running out of her house on an idyllic island full of greens and yellows, surrounded by the bluest of blue oceans. Although there are robots and they will murder you. I also embellished the point about murderbots too, that was purely to get your attention. Okay, so there is a little more to it than that, but Ever Forward is a puzzle game so that is exactly how you are expected to progress. Not only is she seemingly neglected by her overworked mother, not only does she apparently live in a dystopian city that doesn’t allow people to go out at night, she now finds herself trapped in a dreamworld filled with murderbots and her only hope of escape is solving puzzles.
