Neversong, formerly Once Upon a Coma, is a psychological adventure game developed by American indie studios Atmos Games and Serenity Forge. The game is a sequel to Thomas Brush's flash game Coma, and was initially aimed for release on Microsoft Windows and Nintendo Switch in September 2018, and for PlayStation 4 and Xbox One in early 2019.[2] However, creator Thomas Brush pushed back both dates to 2019 so he could perfect the game to meet expectations after Pinstripe.
The game will follow Peet who wakes from a strange coma and discovers things aren't exactly as they were. Children have overrun his hometown and all adults have vanished.[3]
Development
[edit]A campaign for the game was held through Kickstarter with a funding goal of $25,000. The project ended raising $85,000, tripling its original goal.[2]
