Nevaeh

Nevaeh is a puzzle game about a Girl trying to restore the light to her Village. The Village is lit by a Tower, and the Girl enters it to repair the light. She takes a glowing Butterfly trapped inside, but the Queen of the Night stops her from leaving and tries to kill her to reclaim it. The Girl escapes, but taking the Butterfly extinguishes the Village’s light. The people become shadows, and the Girl returns to the Tower in the hope of restoring the Village.

Light and darkness

After obtaining the Butterfly, the Girl can summon it to light lamps and activate devices. It disappears after a time, but she can recall it using mana. Light and darkness affect the Tower’s paths, hazards and the Girl’s resources: she can move through the shadows of objects to make a path, while her stamina gradually drains in darkness and both stamina and mana recover near light.

Monsters emerge from the dark. White traps disappear near light, where black traps appear; in darkness, black traps disappear and white traps appear. You can use traps to damage monsters and bosses, or jump to kill monsters.

Restore the Village

The Village was barely sustained by the Tower’s light, and without it, it returns to its original dark form. To restore it, you light the lamps in each section of the Tower and defeat the boss of each stage. Hidden areas contain herbs needed to save villagers consumed by darkness and heal their infectious diseases. The Tower also holds other bosses and the Queen of the Night, who tries to kill the Girl.

Combos and scores

Combos let the Girl regain more stamina. Controlling her falling speed or sliding movement can help build higher combos. After you clear a zone and defeat its boss, the game shows your score; clearing the zone faster earns a higher score.

The story is told through animation with characters who do not speak.
