What to test in the prologue
Use the prologue to judge the core feel of Neverway: daily routine pacing, tool switching, combat readability, menu navigation, controller support, and how well the cozy island loop blends with darker story pressure. Record first impressions separately from final-game guides, because values, requirements, and unlocks can change before release.
Controls and setup checks
Official FAQ information says the game is optimized for keyboard and controller, and that controls can be customized from the options menu. Mouse binding is also supported. These details deserve a dedicated controls page because setup questions often rank well during a demo or prologue period.
Launch troubleshooting
If the prologue does not launch on Windows, official troubleshooting mentions trying Steam launch options such as -force-vulkan, -force-d3d12, and -force-d3d11. A guide page should present these as official troubleshooting steps, not guaranteed fixes for every machine.
