What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“The Neverwhere Tales - Book 1 is a story-heavy episodic visual novel currently planned to have around 11 chapters. The Early Access release contains the first 5 of those chapters. This represents an estimated 5-7 hours of gameplay based on playtesting averages but heavily depends on reading speed.

All through development, player feedback is crucial for the quality of future chapters.
While I know where the story will go eventually, how it gets there may change based on player input.
If you wish to take part in that journey, feel free to join us on the Discord server.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“It's hard to predict just how long it'll be in Early Access. My current development time is roughly 5-6 months per chapter. That means 2-3 years until it is completed at the current speed.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“The plan is to have many more hours of content in the full version.
I expect it to contain around 11 main story chapters with approximately 15-20 hours of content. Additionally, I plan to add more features throughout development, such as a Replay Gallery or translations to other languages (like German or French).”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“As of now (Chapter 6 in development), the game contains roughly 135000 words, around 7000 renders, around 150 animations, an image gallery, a gallery for cinematics, and an overview for ingame achievements.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

““Yes. The price of the game will gradually increase during the development cycle as the game gains more content.””

How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“All player feedback is welcome! Be it positive or negative. All supporters can easily communicate with me through Discord where I'm usually active daily.
Additionally, there will be community polls regarding side content.”

About This Game



The Neverwhere Tales - Book 1 is a story-driven Adult Visual Novel. The story takes place in an urban fantasy setting and combines a modern world with fantasy elements like magic, magical creatures, and supernatural elements.
Book 1 is the story of Alexander Callister (first name can be changed) and how he learns about this hidden world called "Neverwhere."



You live a normal life.
You grew up on the outskirts of the city with parents who were always there for you and your sister.
After finishing school, you applied for a normal job.
Now you're working your way up the career ladder and living the corporate life.
That all changes one day when you get a call from your mother. You learn that all you believed in as true was a facade.

You're confronted with a world you always thought of as fiction or movie material.
How you deal with this new situation, this new world, who you trust or not... that is up to you.



The early access version already comes with an image gallery, a cinematics gallery, achievement functionality, and a chapter summary at the end summarizing the decisions you made.
