'''''Secret of Evermore''''' is an action RPG published by [[Square Co. Ltd.|Squaresoft's]] short-lived US division for the [[Super Nintendo Entertainment System]] in October 1995, to be followed by a joint European-Australian release in February 1996. A Japanese release had reportedly been planned, but was quickly canceled. Drawing its inspiration and mechanics from the [[Mana (series)|''Mana'']] series of video games, most notably ''[[Secret of Mana]]'', ''Secret of Evermore'' began as a side project of said American subsidiary, simply codenamed "Evermore". With a contemporary tale involving a boy, his dog, and a fantasy world gone wrong, ''Evermore'' is notable for being one of the few titles developed exclusively in and for the US market. It is also known to contain several small references to earlier Square titles.

For a time, ''Evermore'' was believed to be a stand-in replacement for ''[[Trials of Mana]]'' (then ''Seiken Densetsu 3''), a game that would not see an international release until many years later. In retrospect, however, this rumor was proven mostly false, as the two games were merely coincidentally released around the same time, with neither American nor Japanese developers knowing of the other team's progress.

Secret of Evermore is an action RPG published by Squaresoft's short-lived US division for the Super Nintendo Entertainment System in October 1995, to be followed by a joint European-Australian release in February 1996. A Japanese release had reportedly been planned, but was quickly canceled. Drawing its inspiration and mechanics from the Mana series of video games, most notably Secret of Mana, Secret of Evermore began as a side project of said American subsidiary, simply codenamed "Evermore". With a contemporary tale involving a boy, his dog, and a fantasy world gone wrong, Evermore is notable for being one of the few titles developed exclusively in and for the US market. It is also known to contain several small references to earlier Square titles.

For a time, Evermore was believed to be a stand-in replacement for Trials of Mana (then Seiken Densetsu 3), a game that would not see an international release until many years later. In retrospect, however, this rumor was proven mostly false, as the two games were merely coincidentally released around the same time, with neither American nor Japanese developers knowing of the other team's progress.
