A teenager from the town of Podunk and his dog get pulled into Evermore, a world built from the fantasies of its creators, and each region is drawn from a different genre of adventure movie. Secret of Evermore was made in 1995 by Square's team in Redmond, Washington, making it the company's only RPG developed in North America, and it was Jeremy Soule's first game score. It borrows the ring menus and real-time combat of Secret of Mana but has no multiplayer and is its own game.
The four eras, Prehistoria, Antiqua, Gothica and Omnitopia, each transform the dog: he becomes a wolf, a greyhound, a poodle and finally a robot toaster. Instead of spells, the boy uses alchemy, mixing formulas from ingredients such as wax, ash, clay and water that you buy, find or have the dog sniff out. The American sense of humor, with its movie references and wry dialogue, makes it feel different from Japanese RPGs of the time.
Tips for Secret of Evermore
Let the dog sniff around; he can find alchemy ingredients hidden in the ground.
Weapons and alchemy formulas both improve with use, so rotate through them to level them up.
Wait for the attack gauge to fill before swinging; a full charge does far more damage.
