The negative outweighed the positive.
But If you have 1 dollar to spare and time to waste and enjoy playing as a mildly attractive protagonist with awkward movements animation then sure. Why not
Only thumbs this up because it's a dollar on sale

Doesn't deserve the hate.
Everreach:Project Eden has some issues, it's true. However these issues are mostly minor,reflecting it's budget and if you're willing to adapt and overcome them, you'll find a nice looking charming game.
The story was interesting, you play as Nora Harwood, a security officer for Everreach, a capitalist super corpo who's recent efforts to colonise Eden have suddenly come to a halt. You go in to investigate with your team to discover what's happened but all may not be as it seems..
I particularly enjoyed the robot companion 73, she was a highlight of the game. I really enjoyed the relationship between Nora and 73 and by the end of the game I felt like I wanted to see more of them.
The voice acting for Nora may seem strange at first but you quickly realise that's a reflection of her character and overall I thought she was voiced well. 73 was voiced excellently, Jay and Julian were solid as well, Abigail's voice acting was fine.
Music was well fitting, there were a couple of tracks that stood out above the others but overall it was decent.
It took me just under 6 hours to finish the game with all achievements.
My tips are to reduce the sensitivity when playing with keyboard and mouse, there will be a comfortable level. The hover bike uses momentum to charge it's ammo and is quite floaty, use that float to your advantage. Take it slow, use cover, if you see their health bar you can kill them, if not get a better angle. Health and shields seemed to matter most with upgrades.
Pros:
Interesting story
Solid voice acting
Decent music
73 and Nora
Nice looking game
Neutral:
Sensitivity starts off way too high, easily fixed.
No way to look at keyboard mapping unless at main menu, made figuring out powers awkward.
Power system feels underutilised, not enough exp in the game to make proper use of it, making it feel maybe a little unfinished, it's not needed to beat the game however.
Cons:
Enemy AI is a bit over the place, sometimes they act as you'd expect but other times they'll walk around confused.
Feedback from hitting enemies could be better.
The falling block mini game for unlocking crates difficulty spike.
Some clunky animations (Enemy death in particular)
Overall I'd suggest grabbing this on sale, I really enjoyed it and I'd love to see more from the developers, I can only imagine what they'd come up with if given a bigger budget. Much love to the developers, you can see this game was made with love.
I feel like there is potential for a series here if the developers are ever given the chance.

I'm going to give this a positive review. Yes its short, yes its overpriced, yes its not the best made in so many ways. But. I did enjoy it overall. It does feel like the original Mass Effect built by a tiny team, so they deserve some credit for that. I would recommend getting it on sale for a play.

I actually wasn't going to recommend this at first. While innovative and fun, it can be confusing to actually understand and play (mostly the upgrades and hoverbike controls). That said, I loved the ending. I really did. That alone makes it worth playing once. It's a really short game, less than 6 hours. It lacks in a lot of aspects but it feels like good groundwork for a sequel or just as a standalone.

Everreach: Project Eden is a short, linear, and quite enjoyable space adventure rpg– at least if you check your expectations. My recommendation is based on a 95% discount after all. The female protagonist is “muy simpatico”, the controls are a bit wonky, the achievements are reasonably easy to complete. As always, some will dislike it (too short) and others will like it (pleasantly short = doesn’t overstay its welcome). Not sure? Then there are playthroughs on YouTube.

Wow that has to be the shortest game I've ever played, 7 hours. Fun though. Definitely Mass Effect on a budget, and definitely more to this story, weather they take it further is yet to be seen.
Simple and easy to play, nothing complicated.

I'll suggest based on sale price of less than 2 bucks. There are some good things like visuals, music, way-points (most times), gun-play & distant fallout quest vibes. However, the uncontrollable 'hover bike' segments (as others have mentioned) used as segways between chapters is annoyingly broken. Some (not all) of the loot-trunk hacking mini-games are beyond difficult, while others are fun. This mixed-bag linear RPG mash-up could be a job interview for coders looking for exposure to jump to a 'aaa' company, as here player QOL is a stepping-stone after-thought.
