Hello everyone, this is Kee Zhang from Hotta Studio. Today I am excited to introduce our latest title, Neverness to Everness, to PlayStation players.
Neverness to Everness (or NTE for short) is a supernatural urban open-world game that is set to be released for free on PS5. You take on the role of an appraiser and embark on an extraordinary supernatural adventure in the bustling metropolis of Heathero.
Let’s take a closer look at what makes this game unique.
Welcome to Hetherow, an unusual town
You’ve played many city-based games before, but Neverness to Everness brings you a Hethereau that’s both familiar and strange, yet compellingly realistic. In this open world, every moment is an adventure as you explore and live in this unique city.
In Heatherow you will encounter otters with TV heads, skateboarders who paint graffiti on the streets in the middle of the night, and countless other supernatural phenomena that we call “anomalies”. The origins of these anomalies are diverse and still unknown. Encountering anomalies in Heatherow is as common as breathing. We hope you won’t be scared on your first encounter.
Hetherow is also a living city.
Stores and businesses that are open: A complete business management system allows you to purchase vehicles and real estate to enhance your city life.
Dynamic NPCs: The streets are filled with realistic pedestrians with destinations and realistic behavior. Most NPCs will obey the traffic rules, but be prepared for different reactions if you disrupt the order.
Authentic Vehicles: You can modify it, drive it, take it on the road or take it to a race.
Unconventional: Light comedy with a twist
Any great open-world game needs a compelling story, and Neverness to Everness revolves around these extraordinary events.
The protagonist makes his debut as an appraiser at the antiques store “Avon” in this city where abnormal phenomena are rampant, and begins his extraordinary life neutralizing and containing various abnormal phenomena.
Witnessing an incident in the city is like hearing a symphony of dissonance. The incident stands out and offers rich, exploratory content. We aim to tell the story through episodic narrative with a light comedic touch, providing vivid, nuanced storytelling and distinctive character portrayals. Our goal is to pique your curiosity, keep you immersed, and continually ignite your desire to explore.
Meet friends and fight with supernatural powers
As you explore the open urban world, you’ll meet companions with different supernatural abilities who will help you solve upcoming events. These abilities are called Espers and are awakened powers that normal humans possess. Some of them use anti-gravity to climb skyscrapers and open up new vistas of the city, while others destroy the environment to increase immersion.
These abilities also come into play in combat, creating “esper reactions” that are easy to master and make combat more exciting. With great espers comes great responsibility; the safety of Hezarow depends on you and your allies.
Heatherlow constructed with cutting edge technology
Hethereau combines cutting-edge technology with the latest trends. To achieve the desired effect and make the city scenes more realistic, they used Unreal Engine 5 to build the city framework, leveraging Nanite virtual geometry technology to significantly improve the realism of the scenes, and will continue to optimize for the PlayStation platform to ensure an outstanding player experience.
Neverness to Everness has been in development for some time, with Heathereau being built from the ground up – the city will continue to grow, adding more residents and features over time.
We’d like to thank all our players who have followed our journey and hope you’ll stay tuned for more news on Neverness to Everness.
