Nivalis Nights launches on Steam as cyberpunk life simulator

ION LANDS and publisher 505 Games have released Nivalis Nights, a cyberpunk life simulation game, on PC via Steam. Set in the same ocean-based metropolis as the developers' previous title, Cloudpunk, the game allows players to live as ordinary citizens rather than couriers.

Gameplay focuses on business management and social interaction. Players can start with a small noodle stall and expand into larger restaurants or nightclubs. Activities include sourcing ingredients through farming or fishing, decorating apartments, and building relationships with over 130 characters. The city can be explored via foot, public transit, taxis, or boats.

The title had accumulated over 1 million Steam wishlists prior to its launch. While the game has seen significant interest, some early player feedback has noted performance issues on high-end hardware and requests for improved user interface and navigation. An Epic Games Store version is planned for a future release.
