Developed by ION LANDS, Nivalis Nights is an upcoming life and management sim where you will be tasked with growing your businesses, managing restaurants and nightclubs, making friends (or enemies), buying and decorating apartments, fishing, and maybe even finding love, if you have enough time left in the day. Set to launch later this month, you will head to a cyberpunk city that stretches from the clouds to the sea as you build your own empire. Welcome to the cyberpunk city of Nivalis, where neon dreams become your reality! In a district pushed to the brink by CorpSec crackdowns and a mysterious serial killer, your ambition is your best weapon. Start humble with a noodle stand, then climb your way up to own the city’s top restaurants and premier nightclubs. As you awaken each day, how you spend your hours is entirely up to you. You can get to know the local, albeit strange, residents or grow your business to make that all-important cash. Run everything from ramen bars to nightclubs and restaurants or settle down and partake in some fishing. With your influence growing with every decision you make, you will soon discover that the city of Nivalis is yours to conquer. Grow your own ingredients, sabotage rival businesses or enter a high-stakes cyberpunk chess tournament. If you are a fan of interior design, you will be pleased to hear that you can customize your apartments whenever the mood strikes you and, with a realistic weather system to boot, no two days will be the same. In this cyberpunk slice-of-life experience, you will get to know the city and its inhabitants, learning all about its strange and wondrous secrets in the meantime. With mini-games to master, security to dodge and a neon-soaked world to immerse yourself in, Nivalis Nights is the simulation game we have all been waiting for and, as an avid fan of Cyberpunk 2077 and the cyberpunk genre in general, I have never been so excited. Following a long development period, Nivalis Nights will be available to purchase on 29 September on PC via Steam, with an Epic Games version launching at a later date.
