NTE Life-Sim & Traversal Guide: Apartments, Cars, Races

Introduction

Neverness to Everness (NTE) launched on 2026-04-29, and while its fluid combat and supernatural anomalies grab headlines, the game's life-sim and traversal systems are just as compelling. From customizing your apartment to tearing through Hethereau's streets in a modded ride, there's a lot to unpack beyond the main story.

If you're diving into Hethereau for the first time, this guide covers the essentials: housing, vehicles, racing, parkour, and the Wanted system. For more NTE news and updates, check our game hub.

At a Glance

• Apartments start at 200k Fons; customize with furniture, posters, and invite characters for passive buffs.
• Anomaly Furniture provides combat boosts (ATK, DEF) and can be upgraded.
• Vehicle modification includes color, suspension, wheels, and engine tuning for torque, braking, and RPM.
• Street races are initiated at pink flag icons; rewards include Fons and Annulith.
• Traversal options: parkour, glider, and stealing cars to trigger the Wanted system.
• Wanted system escalates from 1 to 4 stars; evade via outrunning, snacks, or lockers.

Housing & Apartment Customization

Early on, you'll stay at the Eibon Antique Shop on Hankaku Street, where you receive a dorm to restore HP. Eventually, you'll want your own place. Properties start at 200k Fons, and once purchased, you can invite characters to live with you.

Each property features unique Anomaly Furniture that grants buffs like ATK and DEF boosts. These can be upgraded, so prioritize them if you're looking to strengthen your team passively. When a character moves in, they'll wear exclusive home attire, and you can interact with them based on affinity level—activities include yoga, holding hands, or making origami.

Vehicles & Street Racing

NTE lets you modify vehicles extensively. Beyond color and type, you can tweak suspension, wheels, and engine to improve torque, braking force, and RPM. This isn't just cosmetic—it affects how you explore the city.

Street racing is a major activity. Head to a pink flag icon on the map and interact with the NPC to start a race. You can race in first or third-person, with speeds approaching 200mph. Winning yields Fons and Annulith, which you can spend back in the city.

Traversal & Exploration

Hethereau is a vertical city, and four wheels only get you so far. Parkour up buildings—your stamina will drain, but it's manageable. Once at the top, jump off and deploy your glider for a safe descent.

For a more chaotic approach, you can steal vehicles. This triggers the Wanted system, giving the game an anime-style GTA feel. The more chaos you cause, the higher your wanted level, up to 4 stars. At that point, the detention center awaits. To shake off the heat, outrun the cops, eat special snacks, or hide in a locker.

Events & Rewards

NTE's launch celebrations are ongoing. While specific event dates are not stated in official materials, you can expect login bonuses and limited-time challenges. Keep an eye on the in-game notices for Fons and Annulith rewards.
