Inside Neverend
What it is
NeverEnd presents a swords-and-sorcery adventure that tells a whimsical fairy tale. The adventure follows the renovating development of its main character, Agavaen. The game features an "active time battle system". Full 3D combat with dynamic camera angles that adjust to each unique combat situation. Create a myriad of spells using the custom rune system. Distinct storylines based on how you play the game. Explore the huge world of Neverend populated with towns, castles, ruins and other areas. Engage in conversation with its inhabitants – will they be friend or foe? The Active Time Battle System (ATBS) adds combat dynamics as well as the ability to use numerous weapons and special combo moves in battle.
The premise
Agavaen wakes up one morning after a night of drunken carousing and larceny, to find her compatriots have stolen all the loot and she is blamed for the loss. It doesn't help matters that her magical amulet was stolen as well, the last link she had to her mysterious homeland. She knows she isn't human, and humans fear and despise her, except for the scoundrels who obviously couldn't be trusted either.
So what is the poor gal to do? Naturally she sets off to find the thieving thieves, and along the way she will encounter many a roadblock, and maybe find something out about human motivations and morals along the way. How she chooses to deal with her misfortune, and how she chooses to interact with her human contacts leads her down one of two paths to her final journey home.
