In this podcast episode, we will explore the new game Neva, created by Nomada Studio, the developers of the critically acclaimed game GRIS123. The episode will discuss the game's emotional narrative, which centers on the bond between a young woman named Alba and her wolf companion as they journey through a dying world1234. The wolf grows from a "rebellious cub to an imposing adult" throughout the game, and their relationship changes as they face dangerous situations and search for a new home2. Neva will feature a mix of gameplay mechanics, including platforming, puzzle-solving, and combat against monstrous creatures34. The episode will also analyze similarities and differences between Neva and GRIS, noting that Neva incorporates combat while still maintaining the "delicate art, minimal UI, [and] haunting music" that made GRIS special.
