Atmospheric First-Person Point-and-Click Adventure Game Neyyah Gets September Release Date

Publisher MicroProse and developer Defy Reality Entertainment have announced the release date for their upcoming title, Neyyah. Neyyah is an atmospheric first-person point-and-click adventure game, launching on September 2, 2025. This nonlinear narrative title is rich in mystery and meaning, inviting you to explore, observe, and solve your way through its story. Neyyah is a love letter to genre-defining classics like Myst and Riven. The game is set across a fragmented world of abandoned islands, strange cultures, and cryptic machinery

The latest trailer for Neyyah gives us a brand-new look at the game and also announces its release date:

Neyyah begins its story when you wake up in a surreal dream and find yourself thrust into an unfamiliar world. You are guided on the journey by the enigmatic Vamir, as you travel to Neyyah, a chain of desolate islands connected by arcane portal systems and cloaked in secrecy. Your arrival suffers from an unexpected twist, and now you must uncover the truth and return to the place where it all began. To make progress, you will unravel the puzzles, devices, and secrets of a forgotten civilization.

A rich, pre-rendered world with atmospheric visuals and detailed sound design
Environmental puzzles rooted in observation, logic, and exploration
Original soundtrack and immersive ambient audio
Classic 2D-style point-and-click interface with modern quality-of-life options
