About Nivalis

Nivalis

Welcome to Nivalis! Making it in this cyberpunk city isn’t easy. The gangs want to harvest your organs, the Corps will fine you for breathing, and the whole time, the ground under your feet is crumbling. This city could fall into the ocean tomorrow, so you better make your fortune today.

You’ve got to start small: a food stall, a noodle stand, a stim store. Build your way up to a bar, a restaurant, or even a nightclub. Eventually, you’ll own all the nightlife in Nivalis. You’ll own the night!

Story

Show

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. In this slice-of-life simulation, every day is a choice: will you spend it growing your business or forging bonds with the city’s strange inhabitants? From managing bustling ramen bars to navigating complex relationships, your influence grows with every decision. Whether you’re legally growing your own ingredients or illegally sabotaging your rivals under the cover of curfew, this city is yours to conquer. When the pressure gets too high, retreat to the docks to explore the city by boat, customize your home to perfection, or master a high-stakes cyberpunk chess tournament. With a realistic weather system and a vibrant cast of characters to meet, “Nivalis Nights” offers a unique simulation where your path is entirely up to you.
