Combat in Neverway features Zelda-like 2D fighting mechanics, with crafting mechanics for tools such as a hookshot, that which compliments Fiona's sword. New combat abilities can be gained by forming bonds with other characters.[1][2] Outside of the titular Neverway, the player takes up activities such as such as farming, fishing, crafting, building, managing payments, and interacting with other characters, though while using an abnormal time system where time only passes after the player chooses to do certain activities.[2][3][4]
