Secret of Evermore takes place in a town called Podunk where a boy lives with his dog. One day, the boy chases the dog into an old mansion belonging to a scientist who lived thirty years ago. Inside, some equipment is still working, and when the dog bites it, both are transported to the mysterious world of Evermore.
The gameplay involves exploring a unique world with alchemy mechanics instead of traditional magic. The player must gather ingredients to create various effects, which can be used in creative ways throughout the game. With a focus on action and adventure elements, Secret of Evermore offers an immersive experience for players.

Game Guide
Extracted from the original game manual
In this fantasy action-adventure game, a boy and his dog are accidentally transported to Evermore, a once-utopian dream world created by a scientist that has since been corrupted by a sinister force. To escape and return to their hometown of Podunk, the player must explore the mysterious lands, seek out local leaders, and use their wits and weapons to unravel the secrets of this twisted realm.
Story
The Quest
After years of research and many failed attempts, Professor Sidney Ruffleberg finally did it! With one brilliant shot of electricity, he successfully catapulted himself and his friends into a fantasy world of their own design. He called the world "Evermore" and watched over it from a futuristic city, floating high above the ancient lands.
What the professor didn't know was that a sinister force has been working against him from the beginning. This entity would quickly make the world of Professor Sid's dreams into a nightmare from which there would be no escape. In the real world, the disappearance of the professor and his friends went largely unnoticed.
A New Discovery
Years after the spark that sealed the fate of the scientist and his friends, the mansion was an abandoned, deteriorating heap—a mysterious structure from the past. And a mystery it would have remained if it weren't for the adventuring instincts of a boy and his dog from Podunk.
Propelled into Evermore without as much as a warning, they find a world that has gone from a fantasy-born utopia to a dream turned upside-down. With his wits, weapons and will the boy finds adventure, and the dog sniffs out everything else.
Your Mission
•
