I have been doing my own case study of Neva and have played it multiple times. (Doing the same with GRIS) I thoroughly enjoyed this game, and I'm happy to see others studying it's storytelling. I've been going into more depth about the environmental storytelling, the types of corruption in the game, and the life cycle of Neva and Alba. Neva is a wonderful exemplar to emerging developers, artists, or writers in general, about how to show-don't-tell in visual media and entertainment. We can learn a lot from the masterful work Nomada has done with their projects thus far. It was interesting to hear your perspective of the reality check that death is a thing in this world, and I definitely agree. I think that, we, experiencing the world through Alba, experience that nightmare as a sort of response to trauma. Up until the fight with the two lovers, we don't really have the time to sit and process all that's happened (as would anyone who is going through intense stress and trauma wouldn't have the time to really look at all that's happening.) It's all been totally reactionary, and I think that now that Alba, and we by extension, have the time to rest, and all this trauma just floods back onto us. My theory is that in this dream, we are not looking at some random wolf, or the wolf from the intro, I believe we are looking at Alba's fear of losing Neva to the corruption and having to fight and kill the daughter she spent all this time protecting and raising. As we head into winter, there is no more life for the corruption to consume, and this is a very good place to put in a breather. A very fortuitous time to curb the spread quickly. I love what you said about it being introspective and reflective. Which, when I look at my own life, that has been true! Winter has always been a time of rest and re-evaluation, at least to me. **Side Note: I thought Neva's daughter was Bruma? The Spanish translation of Bruma is 'Haze' in English, and Neva translates to 'Snow' in English, so I thought it was Bruma all this time haha. I don't want to risk spoiling too much of the game in the comments, though, but I have so many thoughts! I recommend watching the dev documentary that Devolver made with Nomada about the making of Neva, as well as the Creativity Process behind GRIS published on ACM SIGCHI. I am just glad to see someone analysing and talking about this. It's become my favourite game of all time. I think you put it very well and you even mentioned some aspects of the storytelling that I never thought much of, but help me tie my case study together so well! I loved the video! Keep up the good work!

Life has its ups and downs, its how we go about them to get through them. Life will never be stress free, as we are human, we learn from strife and its how we grow.
