Aurora Game Studio made Nefasto’s Misadventure: Meeting Noeroze, which is both a love letter to and an analysis of how video games are made.Its computer world is full of meta humor and references to video games that are fun to look for.And what is this point-and-click’s selling point? You can leap. The game has been in Early Access on Steam since December 2020, and the whole edition will finally be coded and ready to go later this month.

Unique, offbeat, and surprising, Nefasto’s Misadventure: Meeting Noeroze is an extravagant point-and-click full of humor and references.
– There’s meta humor in every conversation, in a world where the fourth wall is broken.
– Talk to colorful NPCs to progress through the game.
– Take on bosses who are busy corrupting the System and who clearly love their job!
– There are riddles to solve and obstacles to overcome with the help of various items or Binary Powers. Or a game guide. No judgment!
– Lots of events where the gameplay changes according to the whims of the Nefasto code.
– Multiple endings to unlock, the majority of which are Happy Endings for your console… But not for Nefasto!
– A point-and-click where you can jump. But act like it’s nothing once you get to the tutorial.
It’s nice of Whispy Woods to show up there!
