Everhood

I feel like I'm on a roll of rolling highly rated games which just don't appeal to me in the slightest bit. Everhood is the latest such victim. Again, a game I can only assume I added to my wishlist due to its overwhelmingly positive review rating. I can't remember, but I hope I've lowered the frequency at which I do this.

Everhood is a story-heavy rhythm adventure game. It seems there may be other minigames later on, but as far as I got, it was about jumping between 5 lanes to avoid incoming notes. While dodging every note is significantly easier than hitting every note, you're given only about 2-3 consecutive failures before losing the level. Worse still, the notes match the rhythm as the enemy fires them, not as they reach you, so you can't really use your ears for dodging them, bringing into question if this can be called a rhythm game at all.
As for what the story is about, I couldn't tell you. It was all some goofy abstract humor as far as I saw, and taking the happening events at face value seemed pointless. I didn't like it.

I mean the music is nice, I guess, but I will never play a game solely for the music (or the art). I found no fun in the gameplay, and no sense in the story, so I can't find a reason myself to recommend it to you. A lot of people say it reminds them of Undertale, which might also explain why I didn't like it. I can't say I made the connection myself.
