The Gamescom reveal proves it is impossible to talk about
Having watched a trailer forEverywhere, revealed at the Opening Night Live event marking the start of Gamescom 2022, I can tell you that hooooboy, this game sure does exist. Beyond that, I’m not sure I can say anything. Developers Build A Rocket Boy describe it as “an original multi-world experience” that “will blend gameplay, adventure, creativity, and discovery in a space that blurs the line between reality and the digital world”.

I wish I could give you more opinions about, well, anything to do with Everywhere. It has deserts, forests, and a big futuristic city. Who built it? Doyoubuild it? Is the sort of space-horror tease at the end of the trailer anything? Will you ever be able to Google this game’s name without adding “video game” to the end of your search? Is the word “metaverse” about to burst forth any time soon?
The only impressions I have are from people talking about Everywhere, and from that I conclude that you can’t say anything, or something, about Everywhere without sounding like you’ve short circuited. It curses anyone doing an interview to a sort of linguistic tautological hell. While talking to Adam Whiting, the assisstant game director, Geoff Keighly asked “Is that part of Everywhere?”. At one point Whiting started a response with “We made Everywhere to be a place where…”
Unfortunately, and I will restate this, I don’t have any information that says what this game actuallyis. The press release repeats the “multi-world experience” stuff, the officialwebsiteis basically just the teaser trailer, and the presskit is full of PNGs of the logo. Whiting said it’s “not just a place to play, but to watch, share, create, hang out with your friends, and so much more.” So yeah, probably some kind of Roblox or Second Life.
