Neverness to Everness (NTE; , ) is an upcoming free-to-play open world action role-playing hack and slash game developed by Hotta Studio, a subsidiary of Perfect World. In the city of Hethereau, the player is an Appraiser who explores the open world and fights hostile forces as they advance through the story.
The game is a 3D action role-playing game played with a 3rd-person view. The player controls different characters and collects items as they travel around in the open virtual world. The player character can run, jump, sprint, climb, swim, and drive various vehicles to move around in the world. The character's special movements, except for sprinting, are limited by a regenerating stamina bar that slowly depletes as they continue in that movement mode. Each character has different skills, called Esper Abilities, which synergize with other characters.
The game features vehicle customization and upgrading business.
Neverness to Everness takes place in Hethereau, where supernatural anomalies and everyday urban life coexist. As an Appraiser, players are tasked with investigating these anomalies, manifestations that range from disturbances to overtly dangerous phenomena, and using Esper abilities to contain or neutralize them.
As the Appraiser delves deeper into the anomalies, they encounter a rotating cast of companions with their own Esper powers that are crucial for unraveling the larger mysteries of Hethereau. These characters help reveal how the anomalies affect different parts of the city and its inhabitants. Their interactions and investigations gradually uncover a layered web of cause and effect behind the supernatural occurrences.
