It took all of 30 seconds with Neva to become convinced it was going to break my heart, I just haven't figured out how. A side-scrolling, hacky-slashy-dashy platformer from the developers behind Gris, Neva puts you in the shoes of a red-cloaked girl and her faithful hound, a fantastical wolf/deer creature named, well, Neva.
I am very worried something will happen to Neva, or to the red-cloaked girl. After all, how many self-respecting game devs can resist the urge, upon giving you a canine pal to love and bond with, to tear it away from you somewhere near the end? Heck, something terrible already happens at the game's beginning: Neva comes into your care after their parent—a great, majestic wolf-reindeer-beast—is overcome and killed by sinister, gooey forces.
