The music in *Everhood* is widely praised for its eclectic and engaging soundtrack, featuring a variety of genres that enhance the game's vibrant and psychedelic atmosphere. Many players find the music integral to the gameplay experience, with each character's theme adding depth to their battles, although some critiques note that the gameplay mechanics do not always align with the rhythm of the music, leading to a disconnect. Overall, the soundtrack is considered a standout feature, often described as "banger" and a significant reason to play the game.
- “Incredible music and fun combat, but the rest just wasn't doing it for me.”
- “The soundtrack is a standout—diverse, catchy, and emotionally resonant, with songs that are integral to both gameplay and atmosphere.”
- “The music is spectacular, blending elements of EDM, jazz, chiptune, and digicore into a smooth and perfectly balanced flow.”
- “The soundtrack is merely okay, not great for a rhythm game.”
- “The music is nothing but bangers, the navigation isn't some overly complex obtuse bullshit to waste your time and effort (except one thing that is entirely optional), the controls are spot on, and the mechanics are great.”
- “The music is generally solid.”

The story of *Everhood* is a surreal and existential journey that explores themes of life, death, and immortality, often drawing comparisons to *Undertale* in its quirky character design and narrative style. While many players appreciate its thought-provoking twists and emotional depth, others find the plot convoluted and lacking in character development, leading to mixed feelings about its overall impact. The game combines engaging rhythm-based gameplay with a unique storytelling approach, making it a memorable experience for those who enjoy narrative-driven games.
- “This game is an existential, terrifying, trippy, and whimsical rollercoaster, with fun character designs and a mysterious, intriguing storyline.”
- “A phenomenal, short-and-sweet story that is the perfect blend of Guitar Hero and Undertale.”
- “Everhood is an emotional roller coaster where you will experience crazy visuals, beautiful music, and a whimsical story.”
- “The gameplay is alright, and the regrettable part is I think had the plot just been removed, I would've liked this way more.”
- “After playing through the entire game, I absolutely felt like this story was utter nonsense.”
- “The story is very lackluster--I had been keeping myself hyped for what was to come by the end game by saying to myself that 'well, people say that this is a good game, so there must be some interesting twists and turns at the end!' but no, the story simply never lands, and it is as simplistic as an RPG story can be.”

- “Great and pretty original gameplay, funny characters that can make you laugh and an interesting story that will leave you thinking about life.”
- “The gameplay is snappy and fast, the difficulty options are perfect to get the game to your preference, and the game has a really great difficulty curve in terms of progression.”
- “The gameplay is a unique and innovative take on classic rhythm game mechanics; it's familiar, but unlike most rhythm games, you find yourself avoiding the notes rather than hitting them.”
- “The controls seem clunky and awkward, the gameplay did not grab me, and honestly it feels like a dud.”
- “I understand psychedelic visuals is the goal of this game's aesthetic, but the constant shifting and warped perspectives genuinely hurt the gameplay.”

The emotional aspect of "Everhood" is a mixed bag, with many players experiencing a profound emotional journey that ranges from joy to heartbreak. While some moments resonate deeply, leading to tears and introspection, others fall flat due to underdeveloped characters and pacing issues that hinder emotional investment. Overall, the game is praised for its unique blend of humor, whimsical storytelling, and a powerful soundtrack, but it struggles to consistently deliver the emotional weight it aims for, leaving some players feeling detached from key moments.
- “Everhood is an emotional roller coaster where you will experience crazy visuals, beautiful music, and a whimsical story.”
- “This game is an incredible, unpredictable, jaw-dropping, chilling, and mystifying work that channels the emotional hammer of Undertale but utilizes an anti-guitar hero gameplay style to its fullest extent.”
- “The story is thought-provoking and heartbreaking, the combat system is incredibly interesting and fun to use; if this game doesn't win any awards, I will be very upset.”

The humor in the game is often compared to that of *Undertale*, featuring quirky characters and absurd situations that can elicit genuine laughter, though opinions vary on its effectiveness.

- “The characters are hilarious, the battle system is unique, and the story is good and flows pretty well.”
- “You can't go 10 feet in this game without getting into a battle with no motive or reasoning behind it. The dialogue is unfunny, unrealistic, and forced, trying way too hard to be like Undertale. Also, the map design is lazy; it's just a black screen with some dots on the ground half the time. Don't waste your money on this.”
- “The second part (big spoiler) where you have to kill everyone is, for me, not funny.”
- “Another one where they didn't put in any textures as an unfunny joke.”

- “An absolute blast for the entire runtime, with tons of replay value.”
- “Everything about this game I loved, the combat system, lore, the characters, and their personality, and even the style of it and how everything feels like an acid trip while playing this game was made flawlessly with a huge skill ceiling and not to even mention the huge amount of replayability in it with the different endings, custom fights, or just trying to perfect every fight.”
- “The game also has various secrets which unlock other endings, with an extra replayability factor after you beat the game (new game +); there are also custom battles, which you can play if you ever wish for more of a challenge than the main game offers.”
- “The game's length is decent, although replayability is mostly going to involve fights and achievements.”
- “Although the game is rather short, there are multiple endings and a new game + for people who want replayability.”

Character development in the game is generally viewed as a weak point, with many players noting a lack of depth and meaningful progression for the characters throughout the majority of the story. While the character designs are praised for their uniqueness and visual appeal, the narrative often fails to provide sufficient backstory or emotional connection, leaving players feeling detached from the characters until the very end. Overall, while there are moments of character development, they are often seen as rushed or lacking in substance, especially compared to similar titles like Undertale.
- “The character design and writing have lots of passion behind them.”
- “The character development and the story itself are engaging, and then the music makes you want to buy the soundtrack immediately.”
- “Some RPGs are suited for exposition through long stretches of dialogue, but this game finds a way to weave character development into the songs and battles themselves.”
- “However, the storyline doesn't flow the best because of the lack of character development and character building.”
- “There is no character development at all with any characters until the very end when it matters least, meaning it's kind of late for players to care for these characters.”
- “The first half of the game goes at a breakneck pace, throwing wacky characters in your face while barely giving them character development, screentime, or sometimes even an introduction.”

- “The gameplay was satisfying, the story was constantly taking unexpected and interesting turns, the characters were enjoyable, the music was amazing, and the atmosphere was incredible.”

- “The pixel-art style runs smoothly on virtually any hardware.”
