Nightingale gameplay details

Nightingale is a shared-world survival-crafting game that combines first-person RPG games like Skyrim with survival-building games like The Forest. The main theme of the game is that of a Gaslamp Fantasy Victorian style world, where you are Realmwalkers, members of humanity stranded in the Fae Realms.

Nightingale features procedural map generation similar to games like The Hunt, where various individuals enter a randomized map, gather resources, fight against enemies, and survive a phenomenon that leaves them stranded in worlds unknown.

To travel across realms, players will use Realm Cards, which allow them to exert certain control over how they travel through the portal network and connect to new realms.

Players can craft Realm Cards using materials they find in the environment, with each Realm Card acting as a modifier that determines elements such as environment, weather, resources, creatures, and more.

Realm Cards can then be combined within a Portal Machine to connect to a new, unique realm. As a gameplay mechanic, Realm Cards take advantage of the game’s procedural generation system.

A myriad of creatures, both hostile and friendly, await to thwart their plans, and they will need all their wits and the power of magic and gunpowder to survive this perilous journey.
