About

Evangeline is a short story of love and connections, and was inspired by the loss of one of the game developer's, Nicholas Laborde, grandfather. Set in a monochrome neighborhood, Evangeline uses color as a primary mechanic to guide players through the world. Evangeline has been created with dedicated color blind accessibility options after a gif of Evangeline’s color mechanic was posted to reddit and imgur in early December, and went viral with 1.6 million views. The game has been designed as a fifteen-minute story that the developers hope will help players connect with their loved ones, while there is still time.
