Neverway: A Dark Twist on Farming Sims
At first glance, Neverway might sound like another farming simulator, similar to titles like Stardew Valley or Story of Seasons. However, unlike those cozy games, Neverway introduces a unique horror twist. Instead of just planting carrots and turnips, Fiona must also deal with disturbing supernatural elements. Players will explore creepy locations, fight off eldritch creatures, and try to uncover the secrets behind the “Neverway”—a grotesque alternate reality that is bleeding into the real world.
Slow-Burn Horror and RPG Elements
One of the standout features of Neverway is its approach to horror. The developers describe it as a “slow-burning horror RPG,” focusing on gradually building dread through the game’s setting, music, and characters. Instead of relying on quick jump scares, the game aims to create a more lasting, psychological fear.
Relationships and Choices
In addition to horror and exploration, Neverway includes relationship-building mechanics. Players can interact with various characters and even pursue love interests. Interestingly, the game allows you to lie during these relationships, adding an extra layer of complexity and replay value. The impact of your choices on the story and relationships is still under wraps, but it promises to be a significant part of the gameplay.
Release Date and Platforms
Neverway is planned for release sometime in 2026. It will be available on Nintendo Switch, the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, and Windows PC. For more details, you can check out the game’s page on Steam.
