Minimum on the Steam store: 2 GB of memory, Intel HD Graphics, 1 GB of storage. Runs on Windows, Linux.

Help little Peet hack-and-slash his way through a beautifully haunting coma. A hand-drawn action-adventure through a dreamy world filled with fleshy monsters, insane grown-ups, and sad children looking for their mommies.

The value story

The lowest price on record is $2.99, set in September 2024. 55 discounts in the 6 years on record. They run about 70 percent off, roughly 6 weeks apart. Today it is at full price, and its last discount ended yesterday.

Against its own genre it lands in the top 12 percent on value. It is pricier than 77 percent of its genre, and better reviewed than 86 percent. Among the games that feel like it, Eastward ($24.99, scores 61) beats it on value, while it beats Garten of Banban 4 ($4.99, scores 46).

Steam's global achievement data puts about 4 percent of players at this game's ending achievement. On a 4-hour game, the hours short of it still count in its price per hour. 4 of the 410 Steam-purchase reviews sampled here come from buyers who refunded the game, sampled from reviews written May 2020 to August 2026. Inside the two-hour refund window, 70 percent of the 110 reviews written there were positive, against 85 percent overall, and those are 14 percent of everything written about it.

It carries Valve's Deck Verified rating and runs 4 hours, about as long as a handheld game wants to be.

The drop-off

Steam counts fewer than one in ten of its players at the ending achievement. On a 4-hour game, that's a lot you pay for and may never use. Steam global achievements

What players say

I've played through Neversong multiple times, not just for enjoyment but to study its game design. The mechanics are simple but extremely polished, and the vine swinging is probably my favorite mechanic in the game. It feels solid, responsive, and satisfying every time you use it. The atmosphere, art, music, and environmental storytelling are also incredibly memorable. There's a lot to learn from how the game builds...

I find myself coming back to this game a lot. Every now and then, mostly around halloween, I like to sit down and play through this game from start to finish and just soak in the vibes. Probably the best part about this game is the music. The music somehow perfectly captures the feeling you had as a child when going on an adventure during summer. All the little melodies are incredibly memorable and hit me on a very...

Neversong opens with a narrated intro of a pair of young lovers, Pete and Wren, who are torn apart when a mysterious "Mr. Smile" abducts Wren. As if following the pages of a gothic children's picture book, Pete sets out to find Wren and save her from Mr. Smile. The narrative is pretty slim, due to it not only being a game with a potential play time of one hour, but also given its format as largely a platforming...
