As a devoted fan of Gris, I was immediately captivated when I discovered Neva and knew I had to experience it. What I didn’t anticipate was just how deeply I would fall in love with this game—it surpassed all my expectations. If you liked Gris, don’t think twice about picking this up. This game is even better, and it's beautiful.

One of my favorite features is the ability to disable death, allowing for a serene and relaxing playthrough. Without this mode, I wouldn’t have been able to complete the game, so I’m incredibly grateful to the developers for including it.

In every aspect, Neva is a masterpiece. It earns a well-deserved 10/10 from me—a rare achievement.

As a huge fan of homicide TV shows, this game had me living my best detective fantasy—minus the brooding trench coat. I played it before the developers’ earlier game (oops), but honestly, this one is so good I don’t even feel bad about skipping ahead. It’s like they took all the best parts of crime dramas—minus the endless staring at evidence boards—and wrapped it up into one ridiculously fun experience. The gameplay makes you feel like a legit detective, right down to the “aha!” moments and occasional overconfidence. Worth every penny.

I've played just about every FMV game on Steam and usually enjoy the dating sim ones. This one started off fun and I was really enjoying it, until I could no longer progress. You have to get each girl to like you a certain amount. Basically, you can't play how you want to play. You have to play the way the game wants you to play or you don't get to continue on to the next chapter. I was stuck after Chapter 3 and the only way to get to the 4th chapter would have been to start the game from the beginning. No thank you. Skip this one and play a game like Motesolo instead.

Played about 2 hours and was likely near the end. I was at a section of the game where the visuals began making me feel ill, so I decided I'd come back to it fresh another night. I didn't realize doing that would cause me to have to start the game from the beginning. That's not going to happen. Get this game if you enjoy walking around endlessly, want a few jumpscares here and there, and if you can finish it in one play session. Otherwise, skip it and grab a game from Emika instead.

Seems like the dev put this game out then abandoned it and went silent. Some people are in a tizzy about the dev using real audio from an actual murder, but that wasn't an issue for me. I did have an issue with barely being able to hear the audio and there were no subtitles. So the best parts couldn't be heard. The game length is way too short at under 30 minutes. The game succeeds in being creepy and giving you an uneasy feeling throughout. There are some jumpscares. Overall, I just can't recommend it because of the playtime and poor audio.

This was hands down my least favorite FMV from Wales Interactive, and I've played them all. It was slow, boring and overall painful to get through. Stream was not impressed either. Save your money and skip this one.

This is a cool game if you are okay with permadeath. I died a couple of times and couldn't get through it, even though it didn't seem too difficult. It has an eerie atmosphere and overall, I'd describe the game as creepy. It's a walking/running sim with some scares thrown in. It's a great price, so I'd recommend it.

Loved this weird little game. Short but sweet. Can't go wrong for less than a dollar. Buy it!

I love FMV games and have played just about every one of them. I was expecting this to be something along the lines of Super Seducer or 5 Dates. Unfortunately, this fell flat. It's not in English, which wouldn't be an issue if the subtitles made sense. The translation is awful. It's very difficult to understand what is being said, which makes choosing an option a pain. The entire game is just painful, and I refunded it. Even at the sale price, I just can't recommend this game. It's a skip. If they could improve the subtitles, I may give it another try in the future.

A cute, relaxing, clicker game where you get to build and decorate. The devs are always adding new things to the game too. Highly recommend this one for a cozy game.
