About the game
You become the Governor of a new frontier settlement beside the Duvos Empire. You recruit residents, choose where buildings go and gather the materials the town needs to grow. Beyond the settlement, you explore ruins and fight alongside companions. The announced story follows your community and the people who decide to make their home there.
The planned online co-op lets four players follow that story together. You share the work of developing the town, recruiting settlers and taking on battles. The maker is moving construction toward staged projects and lasting town upgrades, with residents helping with routine tasks. Between expeditions, there are characters to get to know and places to spend time together. Evershine is still in development, so these describe its announced design.
