But, a mysterious and coordinated strike against the city scatters the creatures across four of Neverwinter’s districts. As the game begins, Aribeth has rounded up the cryptids whose bodies house the required ingredients. The sickness doesn’t spread through physical contact, and even those under quarantine have managed to contract the disease.Īs a newly graduated member of the city guard, you are tasked with helping the powerful paladin, Aribeth, collect the ingredients for the cure. The game isn’t especially scary - though you’ll hear plenty of shrieks, wails, and cries of “Don’t leave me! Please, don’t leave me!” as you roleplay your way through Neverwinter, a walled city under siege by a horrifying plague with no easily discernible cause. *It also came out on PS4 and Xbox One this week!

Neverwinter Nights: Enhanced Edition, the closest BioWare ever came to making a horror game, is out now on Nintendo Switch*.
