Evaluation

The Neverwhere Tales - Book 1 is an adult visual novel in Early Access, released on September 6, 2024, and actively built out chapter by chapter. The developer has maintained a consistent pattern of major content releases: Chapter 6 shipped May 30, 2025; Chapter 7 shipped December 19, 2025; and Chapter 8 - Part 1 shipped July 31, 2026 — each delivering thousands of new renders, animations, and script lines. Importantly, the July 31, 2026 post makes clear that this release is only one part of Chapter 8. The developer explicitly stated that the Álfheimr branch — a major storyline path for players who followed a specific character at the end of Chapter 7 — is not included and will be worked on "in the upcoming weeks and months." This means significant announced content remains undelivered. Monthly developer logs have been posted consistently throughout 2026, documenting ongoing production work in detail. The game remains in Early Access with a story that is explicitly still being written and released incrementally. The "Book 1" title also signals that the broader narrative scope extends beyond the current content.
Evidence
Chapter 8 - Part 1 released, but the developer explicitly states the Álfheimr branch of Chapter 8 is not included and will be worked on 'in the upcoming weeks and months.'

About this game

The Neverwhere Tales - Book 1 is a story-driven Adult Visual Novel. The story takes place in an urban fantasy setting and combines a modern world with cyberpunk and fantasy elements like magic, magical creatures, and supernatural elements.

Book 1 is the story of Alexander Callister (first name can be changed) and how he learns about this hidden world called "Neverwhere."

You live a normal life.
You grew up on the outskirts of the city with parents who were always there for you and your sister.

After finishing school, you applied for a normal job.
Now you're working your way up the career ladder and living the corporate life.

That all changes one day when you get a call from your mother. You learn that all you believed in as true was a facade.

You're confronted with a world you always thought of as fiction or movie material.
How you deal with this new situation, this new world, who you trust or not... that is up to you.

The early access version already comes with an image gallery, a cinematics gallery, achievement functionality, and a chapter summary at the end summarizing the decisions you made.
