DaRmaZat Publisher 505 Games and independent developer ION LANDS have announced that their highly anticipated cyberpunk life simulator, Nivalis Nights, will officially launch for PC via Steam on September 29 and on Epic Games Store at a later date.
Formerly known simply as Nivalis, the slice-of-life title has been in development since its initial reveal in 2021. Returning to the neon-drenched, maritime metropolis introduced in the developer’s previous hit Cloudpunk, Nivalis Nights tasks players with carving out their own destiny within a bustling futuristic cityscape. The core gameplay loop blends business management with cozy simulation mechanics. Players start from humble beginnings, managing a small noodle stand or hole-in-the-wall bar, with the ultimate goal of expanding their enterprise into a thriving network of major restaurants and nightclubs.
Sourcing ingredients forms a key part of the economic pipeline, requiring entrepreneurs to purchase goods from local marketplaces or supply their businesses manually through farming and fishing. Beyond the corporate grind, the title emphasizes sandbox exploration and social interaction. Players can navigate the crowded waterfront districts, lively city squares, and hidden alleyways on foot or via a personal boat.
The experience also features deep home customization, allowing players to decorate residences high above the clouds, alongside a social system designed for meeting quirky citizens, building friendships, and pursuing romance.
