Neverblade

Neverblade is a surreal RPG that never ends. 

In Neverblade, you play as Cain, an orphan who has to live alone with his brother in the medieval town of Orchad.

Through a very sudden and grim sequence of events, Cain ends up dying. 

But it is not over for Cain, because he has been given the punishment of Immortality.  As such, Cain will be reborn a century later every time he dies. 

But do not worry, dear player of this game, as this fact will not make my game unfathonably easy.

Every time Cain dies prematurely due to your own lack of skill, i shall bring him back to before he died. That way, you may enjoy this game just like any normal game.

But every time Cain dies due to inevitable circumstances, the game will continue.

In Neverblade, you, dear player, may choose to force Cain to initiate a conversation with any enemy he encounters. The adversaries will not spare you, but they may give helpful information. This will ensure that every single enemy you encounter has a personality of their own and is a character just like any other.

At night, Cain has a strange dream where a strange creature asks him to find ten pieces of the Neverblade. As such, you explore his dreams every night to create the enigmatic weapon which shall end all suffering in the world.

Right now, only the demo which has the first Act of this game is released. In it, Cain and his brother, Abel, as well as his friends, Sarah and Michael fight against an army of red-eyed animals that have taken over the areas around the town of Orchad. As the days pass, they figure out more and more disturbing secrets about their hometown. At the end, you shall find out what led to Cain's death and what horrible action was done by him to get the punishment of Immortality.

Demo length: ~3-4 hours

Controls:  Arrow keys to move, Z to interact/advance dialogue/confirm, X to open menu/cancel

This game contains dark themes, so it is not intended for very young audiences. It is still a pixelated game, so there are no realistic depictions of blood or anything.

Neverblade is connected in some ways to my previous game, Spider Cave. https://kaarlof.itch.io/spidercave I would still  recommend playing Neverblade first.

Game made in RPG Maker 2000

I wonder how much suffering it takes until Cain finally falls to despair. How many cycles of death and rebirth it takes until he truly becomes insane. Because...

THIS GAME NEVER ENDS.
