Evan's Remains Gameplay
Despite the pixel art of the game, the mysterious island where all the action takes place looks quite beautiful, which can be confusing because the plot details happen to be really dark. During the game, you run, walk, jump a lot, and chat in visual novel style conversation boxes.

The puzzles become a bit more challenging with each step, but ultimately solving them is not just about the skill of movement, but rather about logical thinking while overcoming the obstacle.
