What is NTE: Neverness to Everness?

Welcome to Hethereau, a modern metropolis where supernatural anomalies and everyday life share the same streets. In NTE: Neverness to Everness you play an unlicensed Anomaly Hunter investigating the city's weirdest cases.

Built on Unreal Engine 5, it is one of the most visually ambitious free-to-play games on PC this year.

Lower-spec PC? Zenless Zone Zero needs half the RAM.

Beginner tips

  1. Check your RAM first: 16 GB is the floor, not a comfortable target.
  2. Invest early in a vehicle you like; the city is big.
  3. Try co-op for anomaly cases once you know the basics.
  4. Turn on DirectX 12 in the settings if your GPU meets the recommended specs.

Verdict

Should you play it?

If your PC can handle Unreal Engine 5, NTE offers one of the most unique settings in free-to-play gaming. On older hardware, try a lighter game first.
