Whalefall Goes From C to S Rank by Third Try in a Neverness to Everness Minigame

M.ENTERTAINMENT — Whalefall, a streamer with M.Entertainment, climbed from a C rank to S in a Neverness to Everness minigame within three rounds during a two-hour stream on Thursday. After a C-to-A jump in a single round, the third attempt earned an S, and Whalefall called it “my home turf.”

The stream began with trouble in chat. Whalefall’s Nightbot, a chat moderation bot, started banning viewers without cause, and Whalefall turned it off before getting into the game. Whalefall then began exploring the open-world title, known in Chinese as 異環, noting the number of minigames on offer.

“In terms of fun, it’s very fun. And from an artistic angle, it’s actually quite an achievement.” — Whalefall, closing the stream

Later stretches turned to a volleyball minigame. Whalefall, who said it had been a long time since playing volleyball, won a match on a serve ace, then worked out that a spike did not have to wait for the third touch. A save in a later round drew cheers of “Nice!” before the match ended.

Whalefall then took the tickets earned from minigames to the game’s ticket shop, where they can be exchanged for items such as decorations, and praised the amusement park’s music. Following through on a promise tied to a failed challenge, Whalefall headed for a park attraction in which players use a flashlight to find the exit.

Closing the stream, Whalefall demonstrated the guitar mode, in which single notes and chords can be played separately, and said the piano mode is more intuitive for single notes. Whalefall also showed the game’s combat, which asks for well-timed button presses and lets players pair characters, and finished with a character’s ultimate move in a guitarist look. Whalefall also pointed viewers to the login rewards waiting in the in-game mail.
