The game will be on both Steam and the Epic Game Store, priced at $30. Accompanying the announcement, Inflexion Games premiered a trailer showcasing the mystical Fae Realms and the awe-inspiring creatures that await players.1

Nightingale immerses players in a Victorian gaslamp fantasy universe, where they assume the role of a Realmwalker. Through arcane portals, players embark on a journey of survival, discovery, and personal narratives in a procedurally-generated world. I like the blend of modern weaponry and Victorian gear.

Nightingale is survival crafting game headed for Steam and the Epic Games Store.

The game combines deep survival-crafting mechanics, intricate world-building, and cool visuals to deliver a unique gameplay experience, the company said. With quests, an evolving narrative, and a focus on player autonomy, Nightingale expands the boundaries of the survival-crafting genre.

The early access phase of Nightingale will serve as a collaborative journey towards the game’s full release. Inflexion Games will actively engage with the community, gathering feedback and implementing improvements and new content based on player input. This approach allows players to actively participate in the game’s development while providing the development team with valuable insights and the opportunity to explore new ideas.
