Nivalis Nights

If you’re looking for a game that doesn’t need you to get your heart rate up, Nivalis Nights is looking like something that could let you cut loose in a city that’s built to entertain no matter when you choose to step out the front door, and designed to keep you on its streets long after your bedtime.

It doesn’t matter if it’s day or night in Nivalis, a cyberpunk-themed place where you start with nothing but a ramen shop to your name and grow your hospitality empire beyond your wildest dreams. The city’s sights and sounds are there to enthral you along the way, although there is a dark side, just like every other metropolis of its kind. We suspect that things could get intense when its two worlds coincide, but this one looks like a lot of fun even when it’s just about relaxing at home while getting some decorating done before you step out to take care of business.

With over 135 fully-voiced NPCs to engage with, you’ll find something new around every corner before you’re done with this one. The trailer’s below if you’re interested in picking it up before its September 29th release date.
