- NEVA | Behind the Scenes and Official Merchandise - 18 October 2024
Hi everyone! Since NEVA’s launch last Tuesday, it feels like we’ve been living in a dream. You can’t imagine how much it means to us to receive so much love from the players and such positive reviews from the critics. The final stretch of development was a rollercoaster of emotions, and we truly didn’t know if NEVA would capture people’s attention and earn their praise, especially after the huge success and impact of GRIS. Now, NEVA is standing at 96% positive reviews on Steam, and all our fears and doubts have vanished. Seeing you all enjoy the game and share your love with us makes us feel incredibly happy and grateful. Thank you so much, from all of us at Nomada Studio, for playing our game and for your support throughout this journey. Now that NEVA is out, we’d love to share a glimpse of how it was made, exploring its creative journey and the weight of expectations at launch, with i…
- NEVA is OUT NOW! - 15 October 2024
We’re incredibly excited to announce that Neva, our second game, is out now. This has been a journey of almost four years, starting during the pandemic, when the idea for the game was first conceived. Neva tells the story of Alba and her lifelong bond with a magnificent wolf, Neva, as they embark on a thrilling adventure through a dying world. Neva will grow and mature over time—just as Alba's relationship with it deepens as they traverse this cursed, decaying world together. Building on what we achieved with Gris, Neva features platforming, puzzles, and combat against monstrous enemies, along with a minimal UI, delicate art, high-quality traditional animation, and a haunting musical score by Berlinist. You can purchase Neva Deluxe Edition, which includes the game, a digital artbook, and the soundtrack. https://store.steampowered.com/bundle/45545/Neva__Deluxe_Edition/?beta=1 Also, you c…
- GRIS has sold over 3 million copies! - 25 September 2024
Hi everyone! We’re thrilled to share that GRIS has sold over 3 million copies worldwide across all platforms! We couldn’t have asked for a better reception for our first project — not even in our wildest dreams did we imagine GRIS would resonate with so many people. To celebrate this incredible milestone, we’re excited to introduce something that players have been requesting for a long time — Steam community items! To unlock these items, you may just need to launch the game briefly so the system can register, though it might not even be necessary. Either way, you’ll retroactively receive the items if you’ve already played enough to earn them, so there’s no need to replay everything. We hope you enjoy them! As for us, we’re fully focused on our next game, Neva, coming on October 15. Neva tells the story of Alba, a young woman bound to a curious wolf cub following a traumatic encounter wi…
- Neva Arrives on October 15 - 27 August 2024
https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420660/Neva/ Hi everyone! The wait is over! We’re pleased to announce that Neva, our second game, will arrive on October 15! Neva chronicles the moving tale of a young woman, Alba, and her lifelong bond with a magnificent wolf as they embark on a thrilling adventure through a dying world. Following a traumatic encounter with dark forces, Alba finds herself bound to a curious, mischievous wolf cub. Working together, the pair will help each other overcome increasingly dangerous situations. The wolf will grow and mature over time - as will Alba's relationship with it - as they traverse this cursed, decaying world, and make a new home together. Players will explore a beautifully crafted world brought to life with delicate art, detailed animation, and a mesmerizing original score from the acclaimed GRIS composers, Berlinist. Unlike our first game, GRIS, Ne…
- The first look at the gameplay of Neva - 12 June 2024
Please enjoy this first look at the gameplay of Neva, a story of motherhood following Alba and her wolf cub Neva. In it, you'll see an early glimpse of our game's world, combat and the bond between a woman and her wolf. We are so excited to share this experience with you, later this year. There will be more development updates soon, so please follow our Steam page to hear from us, and let us know what you think of Neva. https://store.steampowered.com/app/2420660/Neva/
- Neva | New game from the creators of GRIS - 24 May 2023
After many long years, we are so happy to reveal our next game, Neva. In Neva, you’ll chronicle the tale of Alba as she finds herself bound to a curious, mischievous wolf cub. The wolf will grow and mature over time—as will Alba's relationship with it as they traverse a hauntingly beautiful, cursed and decaying world. We can’t wait to show you how we are building upon and pushing beyond what we made in GRIS. Neva will feature traditional animation and puzzle platforming, but also combat against monstrous enemies. Delicate art, minimal UI, haunting music—everything that made GRIS special has gone into this and more. As we continue to work on this new game, we’d like to thank all of you who have played and supported GRIS. It’s still hard to believe that our game continues to impact so many people today. After all this time, we hope that Neva will do the same. If you’d like to continue sup…
- Music Week: What Debussy can tell us about mood in games - 11 March 2021
Next on Music Week , a look at how a specific movement in art and music might be an especially good fit for games. Despite being considered the most important composer in the impressionist movement, Claude Debussy was not fond of the label. "I am trying to do something different, an effect of reality... what the imbeciles call impressionism," Debussy wrote in 1908."A term which is as poorly used as possible, particularly by the critics, since they do not hesitate to apply it to Turner, the finest creator of mysterious effects in all the world of art." Debussy was probably wary of the term due to its dubious art world origins: coined by critic Louis Leroy, it was initially used in a derogatory manner to review an exhibition by painters including Claude Monet and Pierre-Auguste Renoir. "Impressionism" was used to ridicule the painters' loose brush-strokes and casual composition, which Ler…

- Xbox Game Pass for PC is getting 3 new games 'soon' - 16 January 2020
Three new games will join the Xbox Game Pass for PC roster soon, growing an already large catalogue of more than 150 games . Gris, A Plague Tale: Innocence and Children of Morta are the new additions, and while it's likely they'll roll out some time this month, Microsoft wasn't forthcoming with a date. All three are a decent time: A Plague Tale: Innocence fared best under scrutiny, with our reviewer writing that it's "visually beautiful and emotionally affecting" even while it suffers from "missing gameplay variety and tonal inconsistencies". Meanwhile, Gris and Children of Morta scored 66 and 68 percent respectively. If none of those take your fancy, it might be worth giving the subscription service a shot while it's still in beta: sign-ups are $1 for three months, which is long enough to play dozens of indies, or half of one Yakuza game. Check out the full lis…
- A Plague Tale: Innocence, Gris heading to Xbox Game Pass on PC in the coming weeks - 16 January 2020
If you've been wondering what's next for Xbox Game Pass on PC, Microsoft has the answer in the form of three new titles heading to the subscription service soon - and they're all good 'uns, taking the form of A Plague Tale: Innocence, Gris, and Children of Morta. First up is developer Asobo Studios' stealthy third-person action-adventure, A Plague Tale. Released last year to positive reviews, it offers a bleak, but frequently gorgeous, jaunt through 14th century France, as players - in the role of nobleman's daughter Amicia de Rune - attempt to protect sickly younger sibling Hugo from the grip of the Inquisition. Its stealth might be a little so-so, but the inventive puzzling - often based around manipulating the hordes of diseased rats ravaging the countryside - is much smarter, and considerably more enjoyable. All in all, it's a strong (if sometimes silly) story-driven adventure, with…
- Wellness app apologizes for ripping off Devolver's Gris in its intro animation - 6 November 2019
Fabulous is a mobile app for Android and iOS devices that promises to help users "build healthy habits in 30 days." That's not the sort of thing that usually lands on our radar, but it did yesterday when publisher Devolver Digital accused it of ripping off the artsy 2018 platformer Gris in an intro video. It's not a frame-by-frame lift, but the similarities are pretty obvious. To its credit, Fabulous didn't try to deny it: Shortly after Devolver posted its tweet, Fabulous replied, saying that it had removed the video and was investigating the connection. "We've privately contacted Devolver Digital to resolve this," it wrote . "Any wrongdoing on our part was certainly not intentional." Today Fabulous co-founder and CEO Sami Ben Hassine shared the results of that investigation in a Medium blog post , saying that the company considers the matter "a mistake" on the part…

- Let's explore the art of these five gorgeous games - 12 February 2019
The studios behind five gorgeous games kindly opened up their sketchbooks and discussed inspirations, how each game's art style was formulated. This article was originally published in PC Gamer UK issue 327 . For more quality articles about all things PC gaming, you can subscribe now in the UK and the US . The games featured are Apotheon , Haiku Adventure , Gris , The Collage Atlas and Luna (pictured above) Click to see the images at a larger size. Apotheon Alientrap’s Apotheon illustrates its ancient Greek story with imagery influenced by black figure pottery. But before becoming a 2D platformer clad in the motifs of ancient Greece, Apotheon was an open world sci-fi project set on a space station; a story of godlike beings manipulating humans from on high.  “Eventually we cut away the space parts and just decided on making a game about Greek mythology itself,&#x…
- How games can help to explore the many colours of grief - 9 January 2019
Emotions are complicated. This isn't something you need to be told by a psychologist, it's something that as a human being you intrinsically understand to be true. The advantage of complicated things is that you get to explore them, really dive into them and dissect them. Maybe you'll never understand the exact science behind it, but getting to see the potential for each individual feeling is something that gaming does very well. After all, with an interactive medium such as this we can become another person and inhabit their heart, see what they see and feel what they feel - to a certain degree, anyway. Inevitably your own experience will influence just how much you can empathise with any story, but sometimes even if you haven't experienced something first-hand, maybe going through it in a game helps give you an idea of the real-world emotions that come with it. There are plenty of ins…
- Gris is deemed far too sexy for Facebook - 8 January 2019
The pornography in question. There are apparently some things Facebook isn’t OK with advertising on its platform, and that now includes an ad for a Gris , seen above, that was deemed “sexually suggestive”. Now, I don’t want to kink-shame Facebook employees or whatever algorithm determined this, but it’s hard to imagine what about the moon or a silhouette suggests that it’s time to get hot and sweaty.  In Facebook’s advertising policies page , it states that ads must not contain adult content, including “nudity, depictions of people in explicit or suggestive positions or activities that are overly suggestive or sexually provocative.”  It doesn’t need to be overt nudity, either, and even the implication of nudity is banned. The ad doesn’t contain any of these elements, however, but at a push I guess som…
- Facebook blocks Gris ad, blaming nudity - 8 January 2019
Facebook has banned an advert for arty platformer Gris for being too sexually suggestive. Publisher Devolver Digital noted the rejection on Twitter last night, and scoffed at Facebook's dubious logic. Cover your eyes, if you wish to avoid this illicit nudity: Read more…
