Everyone’s Gone

If you're used to the cheerful Mario image, Everyone's Gone will surprise you by transforming Princess Peach's castle into a gloomy, cold, and mysterious place. This is a survival horror game inspired by classic series like Resident Evil, where exploration, puzzle-solving, and resource management are far more important than combat. Each room hides diary entries, reports, or puzzles that help players gradually piece together the truth behind the disappearance of all the castle's inhabitants.

Everyone's Gone Storyline

Initially, Mario receives a familiar letter from Peach inviting him to the castle. However, behind the letter is a strange message about a "hungry" wall that needs to be sacrificed. After interacting with this mysterious entity, Mario is swallowed into a distorted version of Peach's castle.

During your exploration, you'll encounter guard's diaries, medical records, handwritten letters, and notes from characters who once lived there. These documents reveal Peach's recurring nightmares, the disappearance of residents, and the emergence of bizarre creatures. The story isn't told through long cutscenes, but through small details, keeping the player constantly curious to delve deeper.

Gameplay: Everyone's Gone

Instead of killing monsters, your main goal is survival. Mario must collect keys to unlock new floors, decipher codes, activate elevators, and overcome a series of cleverly designed puzzles.

Resource Management and Enemy Avoidance

Healing mushrooms appear quite infrequently, so each use requires careful consideration. Each type of monster also has its own behavior: some creatures will charge straight at the player, some cling to the ceiling, while stronger entities are almost impossible to defeat, forcing you to flee. Observing the environment and reading notes will help you know how to deal with each threat.

Creative Puzzles

The game constantly presents challenges such as deciphering safes from notes, finding color patterns, playing the right melody on the piano, or using special keys to unlock new areas. Each clue is embedded in the documents you collect, so thorough exploration is always rewarded.

Everyone's Gone is a unique experience that combines the Mario world with a tense atmosphere of horror, exploration, and puzzle-solving. Without needing fast-paced action, the game still creates suspense thanks to its environment design, mysterious system, and stories told through each page of documents. If you enjoy survival horror games rich in exploration, this is definitely a name worth trying.

After deciphering the secrets in Everyone's Gone, you can continue playing other horror games such as The Kid At The Back.
