Developer Quote
“In so many ways, this is the game we always wanted to make,” said Chris Nordgren, co-founder of Foreign Gnomes. “Jordi and I learned so much about ourselves while working together over the years, and all our mechanical ideas formed into something bigger than either of us could imagine. It’s not just the battles we’ve refined; the whole spirit of Everhood’s surreal storytelling thrives in Everhood Hunters. We can’t wait to see you all take on the universe together.”
