Summary
Video game news website Rock, Paper, Shotgun claims that Neverway, a horror RPG game combining elements of farming simulation, is sure to be a hit due to the talent involved in itsproduction
Neverway’s artist Pedro Medeiros worked on Celeste, while the game’s composer, Disasterpeace, is known for his work on Fez, Hyper Light Drifter and It Follows
The game sees players assume the role of Fiona, a character who has just quit her job and is trying to begin a new life on a farm, but ends up working for a dead god
Neverway combines 2D action combat and adventuring with simulation elements such as farming, making friends and paying off a mortgage
Time in the game progresses differently to real life, moving from morning to afternoon to night, rather than ticking by steadily.
Ultimately, players must search for Neverway, a decaying and nightmare-like reality that slowly seeps into the world they know.
There is no release date for Neverway yet, but it can be added to a Steam wishlist here.
