Nivalis Nights has launched on Steam following a series of delays that pushed the game from its original 2023 target into 2026. The cyberpunk slice-of-life sim, developed by ION LANDS, returns players to the world of Cloudpunk with a focus on restaurant management.
The core gameplay revolves around running a ramen shop. Players design the seating plan, choose decorations, and curate a menu that requires variety to attract customers. The game is not fully open-world, but the city offers space to explore and meet NPCs. Romance options are available alongside various quests and a core narrative thread.
Beyond the restaurant, Nivalis Nights includes fishing from a personal boat and the ability to grow your own produce for the shop. As the business succeeds, players can progress to managing additional restaurants or nightclubs. The voxel aesthetic creates a dense, detailed cyberpunk setting with frequent rain.
Nivalis Nights is available now on Steam for PC.
