I'm glad to learn about Everhood this way. Do you recommend part 1 or 2 more?
To be honest, I haven't actually played 2 yet. But the first game holds a special place in my heart.
The online consensus seems to be that the sequel has stronger gameplay and maybe even visuals too (the psychedelics in both games are a real trip), but the original has a far stronger story. Again, I haven't played the sequel, but I suspect you'll be better served by starting with the first one.
A lot of people draw a parallel to Undertale, and while they're quite different games mechanically I admit they have a lot in common between their themes, characterizations, and the style of the overworld. Music in both games slap too.
Like Undertale, the game does give you an option to do a Pacifist run. Where Everhood turns things on its head is that the Pacifist run is an extremely crushing story - without getting into spoiler territory, let me just say I see a lot of myself in the Forest Spirit's philosophy. It's left a permanent mark on me.
By the way, that achievement is an absolute bitch and it's not even the hardest one. To put it in context, I held the number one spot on the leaderboard when I earned it - although they reset the leaderboards quite often, so you too have a chance to shine.
