Hotta Studio's much-anticipated game, Neverness to Everness, has reached an exciting development milestone with the launch of sign-ups for its closed beta, dubbed the Containment Test. This PC-exclusive beta offers a thrilling early access opportunity to dive into the urban open-world action RPG, featuring a unique mix of chaos, exploration, and the use of Esper-driven powers.
Set in the expansive city of Hethereau, Neverness to Everness immerses players in a world where supernatural anomalies coexist with high-speed chases and a lifestyle of freedom. The game's trailers showcase a distinctive atmosphere - think graffiti-tagged skateboards with their own personalities, otters sporting television heads, and a palpable sense of midnight unease.
As a player, you'll navigate this intriguing city using Esper Abilities, confronting mysterious anomalies while balancing the dualities of everyday life and surreal crises. The Containment Test provides a sneak peek at the innovative systems that distinguish Neverness to Everness from other games in its genre.
One standout feature is the urban driving mechanic, complete with customizable cars and destructible crashes, injecting a dose of realism into the gameplay. Beyond combat, the game also offers lifestyle elements such as home ownership and interior design, allowing players to settle into city life or indulge in obsessive decorating between missions.
