Game Theory: The Scariest Game That Doesn't Exist! (Evertale)

A while ago, I made a video about how mobile game ads LIE to us. Well, I think I've found a game that takes that to the EXTREME! Welcome to Evertale. If you've never heard of it, it is a mobile game that is infamous for its completely fabricated ads. These ads tell you NOTHING about the game you are downloading. Infact, they seem to be telling some other kind of dark and twisted story. So of course, I had to find out all of those secrets for myself. Let's go!

The intern who has to do these graphics and texts created a whole story to keep himself entertained

[SC-ylfv]

Can't believe that MatPat managed to piece together a coherent enough theory from 3 hours worth of ads. Shout-out to MatPat's efforts (also woo, we got a mention of Omori)!

It amazes me that despite making some amazing ads that the game devs didn't decide to just...y'know... make this amazing looking horror title. Guaranteed it would sell like gangbusters if they did. I planned on downloading myself until the reviews explicitly stated the ads were fake and no horror existed in the title itself

[mkime]

I remember seeing the evertale ads a lot about a year ago and instead of buying the game to see what it was all about I read the reviews and I'm so glad I did because they stopped me from falling for it's false advertising.

[Dude_Online]

I imagine the company watching this video, thinking
“Ah, finally, we have our story. Thanks MatPat”

[tsynthetic]

If the ads were true to the actual content, I get the feeling Evertale would be one hell of a game

[CMWolfMagic]

Thank god someone is finally looking at this. I been wondering what has been going on with Evertale for months now.

[Who_]

This really needs to be a real series. So much money left on the table.

[aries]

The saddest part of this is, if this game had been made with the gameplay and story in the AD's this would have been a fantastic game.

[drache]

I cannot express enough how much I relate to how you feel about these ads . I’ve been getting these Evertale ads for MONTHS. It was clear that they were all fake, but it’s nice to hear someone else’s opinion on it

Matpat : (calls Omori "tragically ignored")
The fandom : *are we a joke to you-*

[ikegamesmith]

The real theory I want to know about is why the creative team on the marketing side clearly have a bigger budget than the development team.

[chaotic_llama]

Someone should make an actual game out of the ads based on the lore of them, and call it "Nevertold", both a riff on "Evertale", and the fact that it would be about a story that was never actually told (I know its a game, it sounds cool).

[Lumegrin]

I've always considered Evertale as a game trying to act like a scary game but trying so hard that it stops being scary and feels over deliberate

[violetnevermore]

The most sad part of this is that Evertale would actually be an amazing game if it was true to the ads. Multiple of the adds look like they’d make an incredible 4th wall breaking RPG horror game

[RamenEnjoyer]

That matpat close up with the mic had me laughing so hard. I've never seen matpat so done that you can feel it through the mic quality

[dork-wzhp]

I actually was curious about Evertale due to its ads; leave it to MatPat to save me from wasting my money. Will definitely be giving Beasts of Burden a try and will definitely be replaying Omori.

[marissa]

These ads are legitimately terrifying, and when I found out they were all fake last year I was so mad.

[Vorpal_FLY]

As another one who has never seen an Evertale ad but has actually played the game. It has an interesting story. I think these ads and the offline story are connected because in the final chapter of the game, there are dialogues like this: "Eternal - I am the embodiment of fear., Hope and fear... Intertwined, they create a boundless universe" etc. However, I do agree that those ads are false advertising.

[YeeetYT]

I haven't finished watching this video but I think it's safe to say that angry MatPat speaking into the mic is a lot more scary than the game
