Nivalis Nights Adds Rival Sabotage Mechanic, Launches on Steam September 29

The cyberpunk life simulation game Nivalis Nights, developed by Berlin-based ION LANDS and published by 505 Games, launches on PC via Steam on September 29. Players take on the role of Ava, starting with a noodle stand in Lowtown and building a hotel empire, or venturing into the criminal underworld after curfew to sabotage rival businesses. The game explicitly warns that rivals can retaliate in kind, a reciprocal-risk mechanic rarely seen in the life simulation genre. It also features more than 100 voiced characters, dynamic weather, and a day-night cycle.
