Nightingale is a PVE open-world survival crafting game played solo or cooperatively with friends. Become a Realmwalker and reignite the ancient Crossway portals, journeying through corrupted forests, gravity-torn deserts, and beyond.
Build, craft, fight, and discover as you venture through mystical portals into the beautiful and dangerous Faewilds. Battle through the depths of perilous dungeons, face formidable bosses, and explore a labyrinth of immersive otherworldly Realms.
In moments of respite, build yourself a vast estate using a variety of tilesets, and furnish it with all manner of decor, workstations, and comforts.
As you master Fae magick, harness the power of Realm Cards and unlock further challenges across procedurally-generated worlds teeming with adventure.
Prepare to make your way through Faewild forests, harrowing swamps, and shimmering deserts as you unlock the portals leading deeper into the lands of Fae. Cook meals, build shelter and muster the spirit to persevere in the face of adversity.
Craft tools to harvest trees, ore, and plants, along with rarer resources found deep in the realms. Discover new schematics and assemble the equipment and weapons you need to survive. Using specialized ingredients and arcane technologies, you can enhance your gear with magical properties.
Design and construct your Realmwalker homestead, and shelter from the dangers of the Faewilds. Unlock new tilesets, workbenches, and decorations, and expand your base into an impressive estate. Recruit an NPC to help harvest resources as you work to grow your property.
Venture freely through vast, open-world realms where breathtaking visuals immerse you in a mystical Gaslamp Fantasy universe. Uncover the abandoned remnants of past Realmwalker expeditions, delve into the enigmatic architecture of the Fae, and explore the perilous depths of Sites of Power dungeons and forsaken ruins. With each portal you cross, you'll find beauty and danger intertwined, waiting to be discovered.
Adventure solo, or play cooperatively with your friends. Combine your strengths, skills, and resources to survive and thrive together. Work together to build communal estates, join up in uncovering the mysteries of the realms, and unite in facing the challenges of the Fae.
Craft and wield an array of melee and ranged weapons to confront the formidable creatures lurking within the portal network, including the twisted Fae imitations of humanity known as the Bound. Prepare for epic boss battles in treacherous dungeons and the ultimate showdown with colossal apex creatures in the Realms' most distant, dangerous reaches.
Travel beyond the Storied Realms wielding the power of Realm Cards to explore expansive procedurally-generated worlds brimming with new dangers, discoveries, and rewards. Go further by crafting Minor Realm Cards and alter the world around you—from reducing gravity to boosting resource yields, or even harvesting meat from trees, the possibilities are endless!
