NTE: Neverness to Everness is free to play on PC. It's an open-world anime RPG set in Hethereau, a huge neon city full of supernatural "Anomalies", where you hunt monsters, drive your own car and team up with a cast of odd companions. If your PC has a GTX 1660, 16 GB of RAM and 110 GB free, it can run it.

What is NTE?
You play the first "unlicensed" Anomaly Hunter in Hethereau. You join the crew of Eibon, a run-down antique shop that pays its bills by taking Anomaly jobs from anyone who'll pay. From there, the game mixes:
- Real-time combat: you build a team of companions, each with their own powers, and swap between them in fights against Anomalies.
- A city you can actually live in: shops in back alleys, side stories on every street, and friends to make across rival factions.
- Driving: customize your ride and race through the streets, or take the Ghost Train through Anomaly space to cross the map.
That city focus is what sets NTE apart from Genshin Impact or Wuthering Waves: instead of fields and mountains, you get a modern metropolis with traffic, neon and cars.
