Gameplay Features
Unlike traditional fantasy RPGs, NTE focuses on the contrast between a bustling modern city and the hidden supernatural threats within it. As a licensed Anomaly Investigator, your day-to-day life involves more than just combat. Instead, you will actively participate in the city's economy and social culture. This includes walking through interactive convenience stores, visiting nightclubs, and even purchasing and decorating your own apartment in the heart of the city.
The "urban" aspect is further enhanced by a deep vehicle customization system. You can buy various sports cars and luxury vehicles, then take them to a custom shop for tuning. Performance upgrades, aesthetic wraps, and neon lighting allow you to personalize your commute through Hethereau. When the sun goes down, the city's vibe shifts, and your investigations into Anomalies, paranormal entities disrupting reality, become more frequent and dangerous.
Combat is fast-paced and team-based, utilizing Unreal Engine 5 to deliver explosive elemental effects. You will swap between characters with supernatural traits to trigger powerful combos and contain high-threat Anomalies. When not in battle, the city remains a fully realized sandbox where you can drive, shop, and live out your life as a supernatural investigator.
As with most games of its type, Neverness to Everness features a gacha system with which you pull for characters, then collect resources to level them up, customize, and boost their builds.
