About NIRAVASI
Story
In ages past, there existed a city unlike any other. From the strength and unity of humanity, Niravasi was born. But when a brutal war ravaged the world itself, Niravasi became lost to the depths of space. Some say its people remain unharmed, while others speak of dark horrors residing in its streets. In the end, these are just stories.
But Niravasi is real.
About
NIRAVASI is a Dark Adventure game, set within the ruins of an ancient human city. You play as Mura, a feline archaeologist that finds himself trapped within the titular lost city of ruin after being split off from the rest of his team. Armed with only a flashlight, and a mysterious ally guiding him through the city with his handheld radio, Mura must now navigate the dark streets of Niravasi to find his missing team and make his way out of derelict cityscape.
But Mura is not the only one living within Niravasi. Guarding it is the Artificial Ecological Overseer Network (A.E.O.N), an artificial intelligence built to protect and perfect humanity. Together with its robotic proxies, A.E.O.N will do everything in its power to remove anyone who arrives in the city uninvited. Among these machines is a particularly devastating one known only as The Harvester, which will continually track and hunt Mura down until either the latter escapes or is killed. In order survive, you’ll need both your skills and wits to help keep Mura alive long enough to find a way to escape Niravasi.
Built using the RPG Maker MV engine (and the MV3D plugin), NIRAVASI will take you through a world filled with both wonders and horrors. Whether you wish simply to leave the city or explore its most darkest secrets, the throne of humanity offers many riches to those willing to take the leap. After all, there is always protection in perfection.
- Explore a lost city! Niravasi may be infested by robots, but its streets are filled with many wonders to behold. From the dilapidated ruins of the ancient Stepwell of Dhara Hanirr, to the sunken streets of the Aruvi District, NIRAVASI offers players a variety of amazing levels to explore.
- Excavate the secrets within! While the humans that lived here are long gone, the stories they had still remain. Venture through the darkest depths of the city, and uncover the sinister secrets that shed some light on the lives of the people who lived here, as well as how the city came to fall in the first place.
- Evade an army of machines! In humanity's absence, A.E.O.N (the artificial intelligence that watches over the city) has filled the city with a large army of robotic proxies, which must be avoided at all costs. Use your skills and wits as an archaeologist to sneak past them and avoid detection at all cost.
- Escape the Harvester! If you've been detected by A.E.O.N, the Harvester will not be far behind. Hastily make your way to safety before the timer runs out, or else the Harvester will live out its namesake.
- Expect anything! Niravasi is an alien world to an alien cat, as well as a city that's been derelict for centuries. You'll have to open your mind to all possibilities if you want to escape the lost city unharmed.
- Enjoy its surreal visuals! NIRAVASI sports a very distinct art-style, blending pixel art styles with iconography found within corporate organisations, and the ancient civilisations of old. Go out there and see what you can find!
- Endure the truth of your heart! You get to play as a cat! What's not to love about that?!

This game is very good. While some may say that it's "just another RPG Maker game" you have to admit there's a lot of story to unpack here alone. I'd say this is more of a visual novel RPG Maker game hybrid, since there's no fighting. That's probably what turns people off, but for people like me, the story is really intriguing. You get to piece together what happens just through the dialogue alone, and if you take the time to explore you ARE rewarded for your efforts greatly. (Such as the Vigarium Artifacts, and what have you.) I feel like this game only gets a bad rep because it was 10 dollars, then became Free afterwards, especially since it was originally on GameJolt first. Please try this game, I beg of you. It's genuinely an interesting story, and I really like how the main antagonist is handled. It's like a fresh take on the "rogue AI" thing for me.1 found this helpful
RPG Maker strikes again! NIRAVASI is one of hundreds of low effort RPG Maker asset/construction kit flips spamming the Steam catalog, made with the RPG Maker video game construction kit... in their own words, "Our easy to use tools are simple enough for a child." Like all RPG Maker "games", this is essentially a bunch of low quality/canned assets from RPG Maker coupled with a cringeworthy high school anime club fan fiction. This time it's worth noting the "developer" displayed an extraordinary amount of talent for the type of "developer" that thinks "I don't know how to develop games at all so I'll use a construction kit to do it for me then publish it on Steam through Steam Direct for $100, then I can tell everyone I'm a real game developer". Instead of the usual 2D retro pixel RPG Maker asset flip with a cringe inducing high school anime club dropout fan-fiction story, we have the rarely used RPG Maker 3D engine with a cringe inducing high school anime club dropout fan-fiction story. Also, there's furries, because I presume the developer is a furry. I wonder why this failed so catastrophically? It is a mystery. As with all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displa…1 found this helpful
Originally a $9.99 game that went Free. I found the exploration and its story elements boring and about fell asleep multiple times while playing. The 3D environments were neat to see considering the engine used.1 found this helpful
Niravasi has to be one of my new favorite RPG Maker games. It is not only really impressive for the engine, but also just impressive for practically being the developer's first game. The story is very well written and did a great job at keeping my interest from start to finish. All of the environmental art is solid, and Mura's character portraits are nice and expressive. The music is extremely fitting and nice to listen to. I'm intentionally avoiding spoilers in the review because I want you to play the game yourself. Probably the only two issues I have with the game are the human character portraits and the Ishani Bazaar. The human portaits do not look very good, being honest. I understand that they are dev art (and myself as a programmer I am not really good at art either... yet), but they could still use work. My issue with the Ishani Bazaar is just that I felt it was very unclear of where the game wanted me to go. That could be a me issue though. Overall this game is incredible and if you are fond of very story-driven and passion-made RPGs, this is a must from me!
i've had alot of fun piecing the story together the game all around felt very relaxing and i had so much fun playing it and getting all the endings the character design was memorable. All around great game would like to see more!! Ps my hours got corrupted while playing offline and they went from 14.6 to 3.6
