The Neverwhere Tales is a Ren'Py visual novel by Ceolag. You play a male office worker raised near a town by supportive parents, who has finished school, secured a normal job, and is climbing a corporate ladder. A call from his mother reveals that his assumed life is not true and exposes him to a world he once treated as fiction. The game uses 3D CG and animation, with fantasy and romance as central themes, and lets choices shape trust and responses to the new situation.
The current build, v0.7.5, remains in development and is dated July 19, 2026. It covers Chapter 8 Part 1. It runs on Windows, Linux, and Mac, is in English, and is uncensored. The latest update adds 2,172 static renders, 57 animations, and 6,318 script lines.
Developer's description
You grew up on the outskirts of town with parents who were always there for you.
After finishing school, you apply for and get a typical job.
Now, you're working your way up the career ladder and living the corporate life.
That all changes one day when you get a call from your mother.
You will learn that everything you believed to be true was a facade.
You are confronted with a world you have always considered fiction or movie material.
How you deal with this new situation, this new world, who you trust or not... that is up to you.

2172 static renders
57 animations
6318 lines in the script files
v0.7.0.3
The new version contains a few smaller bug fixes and quite a lot of fixes to the German translation, which I've been integrating in the past several days.
v0.7.0 (Chapter 7)
2082 new static renders
27 new animations
7479 new lines in the script file
v0.6.0.2 BugFix
- fixed a few minor issues with some renders and in the code compared to v0.6.0.1
- French translation updated
v0.6.0.1 - Book 1, Chapter 6
Chapter 6, called "Crossroads", is the biggest Chapter to date, although that heavily depends on your choices before.
The main focus of this Chapter is the personal stories of Kaija, Fiona, and Elea since they had barely any screentime in Chapter 5. So if you ignore those 3, Chapter 6 can feel very short.
The final numbers for Chapter 6:
2735 new static renders
113 new animations
7831 lines in the script file
v0.5.0.4p
N/A
v0.5.0 -Book 1, Chapter 5
The raw numbers for this chapter:
2419 static renders
59 animations
6803 lines in the script file
It's the biggest chapter by a pretty long shot.
To give you some context, Chapter 4 had 1447 renders, Chapter 2 had 5699 lines in the script file.
v0.4.0 - Book 1, Chapter 4

I've tried to play this for 2 days. In my opinion, they have piled on numerous (far too many) different negative aspects in the beginning that just create a "the juice is not worth the squeeze" scenario. An unlikeable, spoiled…

This game took me a little bit to start getting into it. When it first started I was leaning towards this being a ehh game to pass the time. After the first couple chapters I finally started to get into…
