About Gothic New Era
A goth-girl arrives at the new Nevermore Academy. She did not suspect that she would fall into a nightmare, the abode of chaos and mysterious riddles. She will definitely like it there. But before the trip, the gothic princess needs to update her wardrobe while staying true to style. Only dark, gloomy shades, gothic dresses and school uniforms. Join her and help the gothgirl create a unique image of the dark princess and find friends.
How to play Gothic New Era
Nothing here needs explaining twice. You will want a keyboard for this one — the arrow keys / WASD carry most of it, and the table below has the rest. The game is wide rather than tall — fullscreen is worth it on a monitor, and on a phone the picture is much better sideways. Nothing is lost by trying something reckless once.
