Neverness to Everness

[Maf]

Ok, I’m officially confused 

 

 

Before finding the gameplay video I spent a good 10 minutes googling what this game is, and the only sentence I found repeated every where was

Neverness to Everness (NTE) is a supernatural open-world anime RPG being developed by the minds behind Tower of Fantasy, Hotta Studios!

I’m not really sure what the game is. I think it’s a Gacha game like Genshin Impact. Comments for videos keep calling it anime GTA. Which I think is a disservice to GTA, but there is driving cars and character action combat in an urban setting so in the most basic sense, I suppose.

 

One thing that’s funny to me is the disparity between the trailer and the gameplay video. One is hyper slick, super anime firework and the gameplay is like a low hum with 0 energy.

 

The other weird thing is I can’t find any substantial info on Google about the game. Even the official website is a mess of flashy colours and anime girls and no explanation. But then maybe for this audience what else do you need? Because there was a YT video about this game that had 120k views in 24 hours

 

I’m confused but intrigued. It’s kind of all over the place. The Sonic Mania/Persona style music and flashy colours are fun. The combat animations look well made. The trailer is very expensive.
 

But it also reeks of corporate cynicism and gacha game time sink. I don’t know how so many people are so excited about it when it’s so hard to find any info on it. It’s aimed at a newer generation, I guess. But I’m still interested in understanding what it is

If I was going to make anime GTA that is surface level and doesn't have the simulation stuff I would have definitely made the cars look like Auto Modellista.  Like come on, lean into it.

 

 

It looks so much more cheaply done just using what looks like basic renders.

 

But it does look overly cynical.  Let's try to get some of the Genshin crowd with a game that pulls from other popular titles, in this case GTA and Persona.
