Platform action game with elements of adventure, in which players play the role of Pete - a boy awakened from a coma, trying to find his lost sister. The protagonist embarks on a dangerous journey through an oneiric world, solving riddles and confronting enemies he encounters along the way.
Before developing his first commercial work, the warmly-received Pinstripe, Thomas Brush designed an uncomplicated, free production known as Coma! The game described here, Neversong, also known as One Upon a Coma is an extended version that was developed for PS4, PC and XONE.
In Neversong the players take on the the role of Pete, who has fallen into a coma for a long time. After awakening, the protagonist sadly discovers that his sister has disappeared in mysterious circumstances. The hero sets off on a journey through an oneiric land - during this dangerous journey, the players have the opportunity to learn about his mysterious past.
Neversong is an action platform game enriched with adventure game elements. Events in which we take part in the game are presented from the side. There are ten locations waiting to be visited (such as idyllic landscapes of meadows or mountain peaks, as well as places straight from nightmares), where we solve puzzles and fight enemies. There are also arcade sections and the possibility of conversations with NPCs, who often shed new light on the story told by the creators.
Neversong boasts two-dimensional graphics of high quality, evoking associations with the visuals used by Hollow Knight; the game is complemented by a piano soundtrack.

Game Ratings for Neversong Video Game.
DarkZero: 5 / 10 by Ian Howarth
There are parts of Neversong that hit the right notes, if you will, but they are too few and far between for the unique visuals and music to carry one’s enjoyment, and patience, through to the end.
Slant Magazine: 2.5 / 5 by Aaron Riccio
It has just enough bells and whistles to suck you into its world, but not enough to compel your immersion.
ThisGenGaming: 8.5 / 10 by Justin Oneil
Neversong’s art style alone makes me want to recommend it to others to play. Some platforming bits could be better and the game isn’t as deep as some other Metroidvanias but don’t let those things dissuade you. Neversong as a whole is a memorable and unnerving experience that should be played by fans of the genre.
