Evermore Park is, in its own words, an Experience Park in Utah. Themed around a small European Village, the park can be thought of as a rules-light LARP crossed with a persistent Ren Faire. Guests a.k.a. [[InsistentTerminology World Walkers]] interact with the natives, go on quests to earn gold or favor or just help others out. There are guilds to join, magic to study, secrets to uncover, and of course the town is a DoomMagnet so there is always some problem that needs fixing.

Evermore operates seasonally, cycling between the gloom filled Lore in the fall, the cold perils of Aurora in winter, and the brighter threats of Mythos in the summer. Each season begins with the opening of a different part of a PortalNetwork attached to the town. Each portal brings different visitors, and new threats. Generally each season's current problem will be solved in part by [[PlayerCharacter World Walkers]] and in part by the Evermorian natives and whoever is visiting.

The park is notable for its persistent narrative. NegativeContinuity is not in place and the end of one season will have repercussions on the next. The plot moves every night the park is open, whether any given World Walker is present or not. Characters and World Walkers can develop friendship or animosity. World Walkers are encouraged to come in costume, create persistent characters, and build relationships with the natives.
