3 | [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/284537 Nevermore]] is a trilogy of platform games on Newgrounds created by user adamskii. The first game was a simple platformer with no plot, while the [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/300706 latter]] [[http://www.newgrounds.com/portal/view/488613 two]] games explain the plot behind the first one and expand on it. |

5 | The story is simple enough: A young boy called Olek is asked by his local shopkeeper, Tuomus, to follow a map across the island they live on in search of treasure. |

7 | The games are mostly remembered for their serene atmospheres, as well as a focus on exploration and puzzles as opposed to battling enemies, with plenty of SceneryPorn to boot. |

11 | ----- |
12 | !!Nevermore contains examples of the following tropes: |
13 | |
14 | * AllForNothing: [[spoiler:There is no treasure. Instead here is a former war-like race of people who were imprisoned in the chamber who have repented and decide to become protectors of Olek's town. Tuomas doesn't take this well.]] |
15 | * AndYourRewardIsClothes: You can find several hats dotted around the third game in several secret spots. |
16 | * ArtEvolution: There is a distinct improvement in the artwork with every successive game. |
17 | * BigBad: [[spoiler:Tuomus wants the treasure for himself.]] |
18 | * BedsheetGhost: [[spoiler:The ghosts at the end of the third game look like this.]] |
19 | * BrickJoke: Throughout the third game you can see a squirrel in various places. [[spoiler:The ending reveals that Tuomas was following you while disguised as the squirrel the whole time.]] |
20 | * EarlyInstallmentWeirdness: The first game has tokens to collect as you progress through the game that you use to get through toll booths. The other games removed this feature. |
21 | * EvilRedeemedInACan: [[spoiler:The treasure area would have been SealedEvilInACan, but the ghosts inside want to redeem themselves, and want to act as guardians for the Olek's town.]] |
22 | * {{Foreshadowing}}: The second game starts off with Olek chasing a squirrel. As noted above, [[spoiler:the third game reveals Tuomas can turn into one. However the squirrel in Nevermore 2 is probably not Tuomas as it runs off in a completely different direction that Tuomas is located in.]] |
23 | * MacGuffin: The Treasure. |
24 | * MissingSecret: At several points in Nevermore 2 you can see some buildings in the background that it looks like you can travel to, but you never do and there's no hidden way of reaching them. |
25 | * NoPlotNoProblem: The first game starts with Olek already on his journey and makes no attempt to explain what is happening. The other two games explain it all. |
26 | * {{Prequel}}: The second game acts as one for the first game. |
27 | * SceneryPorn: Lots and lots of it. Quite a lot of the screens are devoted simply to showing off the lush scenery and no one is complaining. |
