After its intial reveal last year, the sad and beautiful wolf adventure Neva has got its first gameplay trailer. It’s the next game from the maker of the equally sad and beautiful Gris, and yep, I’m stocking up on tissues now, this one looks to be a real tear-jerker.
Revealed during tonight’s Summer Game Fest, Neva’s new gameplay trailer looks properly gorgeous, with sun-dappled landscapes aplenty, as well as cool, midnight blue caves, and hazy swamps where you can practically feel the moss squelching beneath your feet.
You play a young woman named Alba who forms a mysterious bond with your young wolf pal Neva, and together you’ll travel across these stunning vistas, encountering other beasts of all shapes and sizes – though not all of them are as friendly as they first appear. I spy some very Spirited Away-inspired No Face creepy crawlies in there, and nope, don’t you even think about getting your gloopy mitts on my wolf’s bright white coat, matey, how dare you.
