Nephise Begins follows Nephise before she becomes an orb collector. In a sunny, foggy forest, a narrator recounts a story as she explores.
Walk through the woodland and its hills, searching for mushrooms and animal skulls. The skulls are needed to make progress, while mushrooms are optional collectibles.
Use the skulls with tall amphoras and turn the vessels to solve simple puzzles and open the way forward. A HUD can show your collection, and its visibility can be toggled.
Some players enjoy the forest scenery, music, and relaxed pace, and several describe the simple puzzles as pleasant to solve. Others find the experience too short or sparse, with limited story and exploration that can feel unclear.
