<p>The <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/08/watch_nintendo_indie_world_showcase_august_2020_-_live">Nintendo Indie World Showcase</a> presentation broadcast earlier featured a cluster of indie games that are launching later today, and one of them is enchanting puzzle-platformer <strong><a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/evergate">Evergate</a></strong>.</p>
<p>Coming from Boston-based Stone Lantern Games, Evergate is a deeply personal adventure that has players exploring the afterlife as Ki, a childlike soul revisiting areas of the world that she once inhabited. Using crystals you find around the environment, a gameplay mechanic known as the Soulflame fundamental to navigating the world by forming platforms, boosting, teleporting and generally zipping around in acrobatic fashion.</p>
<p>Check out the trailer above for a better look at the Soulflame mechanic in action, or alternatively the <a href="https://youtu.be/2BogOkvVIj8?t=1043">timestamped segment from the presentation itself</a> with messages from members of the dev team. <a href="https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2020/08/feature_evergate_developer_takes_us_behind_the_scenes_of_the_upcoming_puzzle-platform_adventure">We also recently spoke to the team</a> at Stone Lantern about the game and the inspiration behind it; when we asked about a potential release date, they were understandably cagey with their response – and now we know why!</p>
