To get into heaven, you have to kill at lot of demons. At least, that’s the way it works in Neon White, a unique blend of lightning-fast shooter and horny visual novel with a bit of deckbuilding thrown in for flavor. One of the most captivating games of 2022, it’s now available on PlayStation Plus, where it feels just as great as the day it launched.
In Neon White, you play as Neon White, which I suppose warrants a little more explanation. The game begins with the player character waking up in heaven — not because he lived a flawless life, but quite the opposite. To the angels, he’s known as a Neon, a human who’s been selected from among the sinners in hell to take part in a ten-day competition. And since his surname in life was White, that makes him Neon White. The rules of the competition are simple: survive the contest while taking down as many demons as possible, and you’ll be granted access to paradise.
