Nightbound
Two strangers meet at the end of the world. Their only hope: trust each other, fix up a van, and reach a mountain too cold for the Bloom to follow. In Nightbound, you fight as a pair with turn-based tactics. Prep during the day, fend off enemies at night, and build a bond that outgrows the Bloom.

The Bloom has decimated the world and when night falls, it hunts down the few remaining survivors. Loren has defended her family’s home since the Bloom’s arrival and doesn’t take kindly to Jun’s sudden appearance. But surviving means working side by side and if they are going to make it to the sanctuary in the mountains, they will need to put aside their differences to grow together or die alone.
When night falls, the Bloom arrives. Fall back to your defenses and hold out until dawn in turn-based tactics. No two nights are the same so prepare yourselves well.
Surviving together unlocks Potentials: moves that take two. Patch Loren up mid-fight, take a hit meant for Jun and cover each other when threatened.
The decisions Jun and Loren make affect each other. Decide on what food to make, how to keep the house standing, and even make each other laugh so that you can do more than just survive.
Cook for each other, fix the house and keep each other safe. Although you find comfort in this old house you know that safety lies in moving on. Repair the van and make your escape before the Bloom destroys you both.
