a visual novel inspired exploration puzzle game. way more content then i expected. the characters are "nice" if a bit childish. it has a cool art style. theres a slight lack of polish, just a few places were there should be some shading. overall a really good experience. and theres more chapters coming.

Really good and cute! Highly recommend it

I'm going to admit - I found this game through the Obscure Character Showdown on tumblr, and I really enjoyed it! The music SLAPS, and the art is so cute and I love the style!! I will say that I'm notoriously bad at video games, and a lot of the puzzles I couldn't figure out how to solve because it wasn't clear what I needed to do and ended up solving them completely on accident, and I did have to look one up after spending an hour trying to solve it. That being said, I can't wait to see where this series goes! Can't wait for Chapter 2!

YAHOO!!!!

My first horror puzzle game!! The puzzles were fun and unique to play (with some wild monsters). I think what makes this game stand our is that there's so much going on in the art and backgrounds that helps you appreciate the game. From the plot line to the unique characters, I was excited to see what happened next Callum is my bias and i think he is the best character

Played through on Steam Deck and I was pleasantly surprised by this. The art style really worked for me - it looks pretty chaotic in screenshots, but it really works well in context. Combined with the soundtrack it's really effective at evoking a very specific vibe. In many respects the soundtrack reminds me of the work of Bertrand Eleurd in the relatively obscure PC/PS2/Dreamcast game Evil Twin: Cyprien's Chronicles, but where that game leaned into darker, Tim Burtonesque visuals, Neverhome Ch1 is more of a technicolour dreamscape/acid trip, and it's a juxtaposition that works well. I also quite enjoyed some of the in-universe explanations for certain visual flourishes. The mix of hand drawn and photos for the backgrounds could very easily clash, but it works as an effectively emotive, and surprisingly cohesive, collage. For what seems to be the devs first game, the world feels remarkably fully formed. In terms of gameplay, this is a puzzler more than anything. While there is some combat it's serviceable but rudimentary, and is mostly absent for the bulk of the game. My first playthrough took about 3.5hrs, but subsequent playthroughs were well under an hour - like most puzzle games once you know the solutions the game is really quite brisk (though there is some randomisation to spice things up a little on repeat playthroughs). That's not a criticism though, what's here is pretty engaging, for a short experience the variety of puzzles is pretty good. The puzzle logic has a dreamlike quality, but steers clear of the 'moon logic' that defines some point and clicks, nothing here will stump you for long but there's enough to tickle your brain. The story has a relatively interesting hook and the MC in particular is quite likeable and while the game is on the shorter end, it got enough hooks in that I'm curious to see where things go in chapter 2. While the narrative thus far is relatively short, and the characters broadly archetypes, it's presented well - the world and it's surreal and mysterious nature are the real draws thus far. For the price this one's a no brainer recommendation. About to go into chapter 2 (you can get both chapters in a bundle) and curious to see how the dev evolves the gameplay from there.

I'm too stupid for the game, but the art, story, and everything was well done.

I played this game on itch before it came out on Steam, and bought it here to support the creator. I am normally not one for horror games, so I don't have much to say on that aspect. The art style of the characters and backgrounds is incredibly unique, and the usage of real pictures in certain areas really adds to the off-putting feel. It's only a dollar, which I think is a steal for a game like this. Please give it a try if it is anywhere near your alley.

Absolutely in love with the art and music in this game! Each character was fun to follow and you can't help but root for them! :' ) Highly recommend this game to anyone who enjoys horror rpg / puzzle games :D I played the game when it was released on itch.io but wanted to get this game on Steam to show my support.
