Neva

You play as Alba, a young woman who forms a bond with Neva, a wolf cub, after dark forces threaten a once-living world. Their journey unfolds across the changing seasons, with the story conveyed largely through visuals and their interactions.

Travel through side-scrolling environments, jumping between platforms, navigating hazards, and solving environmental puzzles. Alba also fights hostile creatures with her sword and faces larger boss encounters.

Neva grows during the journey and becomes an active partner, helping with traversal and combat. New abilities add variety to movement and fights; Story and Adventure modes offer different levels of combat challenge, and optional flowers can be collected along the way.

In the supplied reviews, players often praise the visual design and soundtrack, and many describe Alba and Neva’s evolving bond as emotionally affecting. Some also enjoy the accessible platforming, puzzles, and added combat, while others find these systems too simple, repetitive, or awkward. Players differ on the story’s depth and clarity, and several note that the campaign is short.
