eversion (noun): a turning or being turned outward or inside out.

Eversion is a cutesy platformer about flowers and trees and the sun and happy things. It's just a game where you jump on monsters, rescue a princess, you know, just like your average heroic quest. Or is it?

It's a game with a twist, one that, as soon as the main gameplay gimmick is introduced, could be seen coming from a mile away even a decade ago, even before a gazillion indie games would try the same thing in the years that followed. Nowadays, Eversion feels like a bit of a relic.

Credit were credit is due, though, it's a functional game, unlike many other gimmick platformers of its time.
