Neva is a narrative running and jumping game about a young woman's lifelong bond with a wolf. They must work together as they embark on an adventure through a rapidly dying world in the hope of finding a new home. Like the developer's previous game, Gris, it stands out not only for the visuals and platforming but how these are put to work in service of a coherent narrative.

The game starts as Alba discovers a wolf cub orphaned by a traumatic encounter with dark forces. Together they embark on a perilous journey through a once-beautiful world, working together to make progress through the challenging traversal.

As you progress your relationship with the wolf grows and changes. Along with the narrative importance of this, the bond allows new ways of working together and helping one another navigate increasingly dangerous situations. The cub grows into an imposing adult wolf and brings with them not only help but a challenge that tests Alba’s love and commitment.

The result is a challenging platforming game that tells a story about identity, growth, trust and courage. As the cursed world threatens to overwhelm you, it's your companionship and commitment to each other that sees you through both emotionally and practically.
