October 22nd, 2018 – Gamedust, a development studio based in Poland, announces the release of Neverout on the PlayStation 4 and PlayStation VR. Up until now only Nintendo Switch players and PC or mobile VR devices owners could enjoy this unconventional puzzle game. Sony fans rejoice as now you also can solve complex environmental riddles, both in VR or sitting in front of the TV screen.

Can you get out?

Neverout is a multi-layered puzzle game with unique gameplay mechanics. The player wakes up in a small cube and his task is to find a way out of the claustrophobic trap. It soon turns out that leaving the first room is only the beginning of the road.

Neverout offers more than 60 challenging levels. The difficulty increases with each stage, and the means of exiting the traps are getting gradually more complicated. Numerous deadly obstacles, such as electric fields or spiked traps are put in your way out. In order to avoid them, you can use teleports, small moving cubes or even change the plane of movement which shifts the gravity, causing the elements that are not fixed to the ground to fall. Be careful to not get crushed! Just one small mistake can cause death and you’ll have to start the level all over again.

Two games – One price

Neverout is a game created with VR in mind and wearing VR headset allows you to get the most out of the experience. However, this doesn’t mean that the other players can’t feel the thrill of excitement while playing the game.

The Switch version is a great proof that Neverout doesn’t lose its atmosphere while playing on TV. That’s why, in the PS4 version, developers from Gamedust wanted to give the players a choice. Available on the PS Store, Neverout includes both the VR and the “regular” version, which was previously only available on Switch.

You can smoothly jump between the gameplay modes at any time. It is the player who decides whether to use PSVR goggles or prefers the traditional screen. And if you own a PS4 Pro and choose the latter option, you will be able to play at a higher – 4K resolution.

Stay positive

After its release on Gear VR, followed by HTC Vive and Oculus Rift version, Neverout got a very warm reception from the reviewers (5/5 in a VRFocus.com review, 8.5/10 according to Vrgiant.com) and players. The game was nominated in two categories in the plebiscite for best VR 2016 titles on UploadVR. Many editors have praised Neverout for the difficulty, interesting mechanics and atmosphere that reminded them of the famous film from the 90s – “Cube”.

The game appeared on the Nintendo Switch console this July which also received positive feedback. This version of Neverout gained the recognition of, among others, the creator of Minecraft – Markus Persson. The popular Notch, in his tweet, called Neverout a “wonderful game”. He compared the movement of the player to the dungeon crawlers of the 1990s. According to Notch, this emphasizes the mechanical atmosphere and puzzle focus of the game.

Neverout launches on PlayStation 4 on October 23rd, 2018. The standard price for the game in PS Store is 7.99 USD, but until October 31st it can be purchased for 5.99 USD (with PS Plus membership) or 6.79 USD.
