I Expected Something Like Game Of Thrones Ngl
Alright, folks, gather 'round for a tale of magic, mystery, and the mundane turned upside down. The Neverwhere Tales is an NSFW visual novel that promises to whisk you away from your corporate grind into a hidden world brimming with fantastical elements. Imagine a normal day at the office, only to get a call that makes you question everything you thought was real. Intrigued? You should be. Let's dive in! Note that I played this game during early-access when the game is incomplete. They will surely add more features and improve the game before they release it!
About This Game
Storyline
Meet Alexander Callister, your average Joe with a steady job and a family who loves him. Life’s pretty straight forward until a call from his mother shatters his reality. Turns out, the world is not as it seems, and Alexander is plunged into the hidden realm of Neverwhere. This urban fantasy setting blends the familiar with the fantastical, throwing in magic, mythical creatures, and supernatural elements. The narrative hooks you right from the start as you follow Alexander's journey of discovery, where every revelation brings more questions and every encounter challenges his understanding of the world he thought he knew.
As Alexander navigates this new reality, he must decide who to trust and how to adapt to the strange and often perilous situations he finds himself in. The story is rich with character development and moral dilemmas, making each choice feel significant. You'll find yourself debating whether to rely on old friends or new allies, and whether to embrace the magical elements of Neverwhere or resist them. The plot weaves together themes of sexual urges, loyalty, and the search for truth, creating an immersive experience that keeps you guessing and engaged until the very end.
Gameplay Mechanics
The gameplay is classic visual novel fare, but with some nifty enhancements. You’re not just passively reading; you’re actively shaping the story through your choices. Each decision you make influences Alexander’s journey, impacting relationships and uncovering secrets. The game also includes a handy image gallery, a cinematics gallery for all those jaw-dropping moments, achievement functionality to track your milestones, and a chapter summary to recap your decisions. It’s an interactive storybook on steroids, giving you plenty of reasons to replay and explore different outcomes.
Visuals & Audio
Visually, this game is literally a feast for the eyes. The art is detailed and vibrant, bringing the urban fantasy setting to life. The female characters are well-designed with proper details and sexual appeals. The magical elements are depicted with a flair that makes you want to reach out and touch them. The animated scenes are pretty decent but I would prefer if they were a bit longer and they added a bit more. Everyone loves more animated scenes! The sound design is pretty standard for such VNs, nothing really special.
Pros
A compelling narrative that blends the mundane with the magical.
Your decisions matter, adding replay value.
Gorgeous artwork that brings the world of Neverwhere to life.
Image and cinematics galleries, achievements, and chapter summaries enhance the experience.
A collection of pretty women with appealing “features” ;)
Cons
Some parts of the story might feel slow, depending on your choices. (This is obviously a personal opinion and almost any VN is subjected to this)
Conclusion
The Neverwhere Tales is a thrilling dive into an urban fantasy world where your choices steer the ship. It’s got a gripping story, beautiful women, and enough interactive elements to keep you coming back for more. So, if you’re ready to uncover the secrets of Neverwhere and embark on an adventure of a lifetime, this visual novel is definitely worth your time. Grab a cup of coffee, sit back and let Alexander Callister take you on a journey you won’t soon forget. I am eager for the release of the other parts!
