Everhood: An Ineffable Tale of the Inexpressible Divine Moments of Truth is a 2021 adventure RPG video game developed by Chris Nordgren and Jordi Roca, who go by the studio name Foreign Gnomes. Players control Red, a living wooden doll, exploring a minimalistic RPG world and fighting battles in a style similar to Guitar Hero in an effort to recover their stolen arm from Gold Pig, an immortal inhabitant of the land of Everhood. Along the way, the player allies with a small creature by the name of Blue Thief, and encounters a variety of characters who either attempt to aid or deter Red on their quest to retrieve their arm.

The minimum specification calls for 2 GB RAM and 128MB. At 2GB of RAM, it will run on essentially any working PC — that is below what a budget laptop ships with today. Both tiers are compared side by side on the requirements page, and you can check your own parts against them without installing anything.
What it launched against
Everhood launched on 3 March 2021, within three weeks of Little Nightmares II, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Loop Hero and The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante. All of them reviewed better. It arrived 4 years into the Nintendo Switch's life, so it was built for hardware developers already knew well.
Released around the same time: Little Nightmares II, Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury, Loop Hero, The Life and Suffering of Sir Brante.
