From the first trailer, I knew Neva would be an emotional experience.
Neva explores familial bonds through a different but just as emotional lens: parenthood.
The relationship between Alba and Neva mirrors a mother/child relationship through most of the game.
Included in the control scheme, though, is a button specifically designated for calling Neva.
Press that button in a more urgent moment, however, and Alba’s voice becomesmuchheavier.
There’s urgency in her calls, permeated by a sense of panic.
Her anxiety and fear come to the surface, and all it takes is a change in inflection.
There’s one moment in particular that really highlights how effective this voice acting can be.
Now, putting Alba’s ability to call out for Neva on a button is not without its pitfalls.
Neva is a profound analysis of parenthood, and all of the highs and lows that come with it.
