If Neurodiver can make ES88 and her world feel so alive in an office, there’s no telling how much it can deliver outside of Minerva’s walls. It’s an exciting moment for the preview to close on, but what makes Neurodiver so incredibly promising is that it makes the mundane – workplace chats, password recovery – so delightful.Įvery brief chat and minute interaction feels distinctly lovely, and developer MidBoss has packed every pixel with charm – cutesy portraits and animated facial expressions bring each character to life, and the studio’s writers have done a fantastic job at making dialogue feel natural, funny, and engaging.
