Coming Soon To Early Access

The developers of this game intend to release as a work in progress, developing with the feedback of players.

Note: Games in Early Access are not complete and may or may not change further. If you are not excited to play this game in its current state, then you should wait to see if the game progresses further in development. Learn more

What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“This game is in early access beta, due to us only having 4 months to make a full game from start to finish.
Some bugs persist, such as camera sensitivity issues, UI quirks, minor typos, Some place holder assets, and so on.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We're aiming for a mid-2025 release, but this may change.”

How is the full version planned to differ from the Early Access version?

“We aim to enhance the game by improving visual quality, optimizing performance, and improving the overall gameplay experience. Our plans include refining controller support, potential Steam Deck compatibility and further optimizing the game based on player feedback. However, these plans may change overtime.

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“For information on what the Early Access Version contains, please refer to the "About This" Section above.”

Will the game be priced differently during and after Early Access?

“We plan to keep the game completely free for now as a fully single player stand alone game!

This was done for a college project, so it was a learning experience and we don't feel comfortable charging money for it.

However, IF there are massive improvements and more time is allowed for development, we may charge a very small fee.


How are you planning on involving the Community in your development process?

“We plan on rolling out early access codes to streamers, content creators, game reviewers, and a select bunch of players who are willing to test the game out publicly, and give us feedback.

Yor feedback directly has an impact on the project. We're a bunch of game dev students, just getting into the industry, so your feedback is more than valuable to us!”

About This Game

Nightlings is a first person, fast-paced survival horror game, where you play as a 10 year old child, left home alone for the weekend while your parents handle a family emergency out of town. Initially thrilled by the freedom, your excitement fades quickly as midnight approaches. Strange, goblin-like creatures from forgotten neighborhood folklore appear outside, intent on breaking into your home to slaughter you.

Your goal? Run, Secure, and Survive. Run around your house, blocking off all entries to secure your home from the Nightlings, and survive the nights until 7 AM.

Each night will get progressively more intense, with more entrances opening up. You'll have to strategize your movements to get to each entrance and block off the Nightlings before it's too late. 

Note from the devs.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

This game was made by a group of game dev college students in the span of only 4 months! This is our first game we've ever released, so we'd love to hear your feedback!
