Cooking

Overview

Cooking and food play a role in the daily life systems of Neverness to Everness. At the Eibon antique shop, Adler serves as the resident cook, preparing lovingly made meals for the shop's staff. Beyond Eibon, the city of Hethereau offers food-related activities as part of its broader daily life and business management systems, including working at coffee shops and running your own cafe.

Adler and Eibon's Kitchen

Adler is an A-Class Incantation character who serves as the butler at Eibon. While he is a formidable combatant wielding a cane sword and summoned Sunyas, his domestic role at the shop centers on preparing meals for the team. He is described as a calming, reliable presence who handles the cooking with the same precision he brings to combat. His habit of never opening his eyes adds an air of mystery to even the most mundane kitchen tasks.

The meals Adler prepares are part of the everyday rhythm of life at Eibon, reinforcing the game's emphasis on grounding its supernatural setting in relatable daily routines. The antique shop serves as the player's home base, and returning to find Adler cooking creates a sense of belonging between missions.

Coffee Shop Work

Among the many daily life activities available in Hethereau, players can work at coffee shops. This activity was confirmed in the Co-Ex Test press materials alongside other urban occupations like taxi driving and fishing. Working at a coffee shop is one of several ways to earn in-game currency outside of combat and anomaly commissions.

Cafe Management

The business management system in Neverness to Everness allows players to build up commercial ventures in Hethereau. Official descriptions mention the ability to "grind your way from running a hole-in-the-wall cafe to owning a penthouse overlooking the skyline," positioning cafe management as one of the early-game business opportunities that can grow over time.

Cafe management is part of the broader economic progression system, where players invest in and expand businesses to generate passive income. The exact mechanics of cafe management (menu customization, customer service, upgrades) have not been fully detailed ahead of launch.

Daily Life Food Activities

Food-related activities sit alongside many other daily life systems in Hethereau:

Food Buffs

While Adler's cooking and the cafe systems are confirmed, specific details about food buffs (temporary stat boosts from consuming meals) have not been officially detailed as of the latest beta tests. Many action RPGs in the genre feature food buff systems where consuming specific dishes grants combat bonuses, healing, or exploration benefits. Whether Neverness to Everness implements a similar system will become clear at launch.

Note: This article will be updated with detailed cooking mechanics, recipes, and buff information once the game launches on April 29, 2026.
