Niveus was chosen by DAN PINCHBECK as a finalist for the INDIE SPEED RUN 2013. What he had to say: ”Niveus had a really great level of polish – a great use of visuals and audio to create a really strong sense of atmosphere and place. The camera swing actually created a great sense of paranoia, which I really liked, and I loved the ambiguity and weirdness of the story. Together with the emptiness of the world, it gave the game a really different and engaging feel. It’s got a real feel of impending doom, and a neat survival horror vibe, with shades of the kind of clean and trippy aesthetic that drives games like Kentucky Route Zero, Lone Survivor and Swords & Sworcery. Liked it a lot.”
