What the developers have to say:

Why Early Access?

“We chose Early Access to involve the community in the development of NIVO and shape the game together with our players.
Our goal is to release a solid core experience first and then expand it with new maps, creatures, and gameplay features based on player feedback.

Early Access allows us to test balance, difficulty, and performance with real players while continuing to improve the game over time.
We believe this approach will help us create a more polished and fun co-op horror experience.”

Approximately how long will this game be in Early Access?

“We expect N.I.V.O to remain in Early Access for approximately 6 to 12 months, depending on player feedback and development progress.

Our goal is to keep the game in Early Access until the core experience is complete and polished, including the planned additional content such as Part 2 and Part 3 with new maps and features.

We want to ensure the game reaches a quality level that both we and the community are happy with before moving to the full release.”

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

“The full version of N.I.V.O is planned to expand on the core experience introduced in Early Access.
We aim to add more maps (such as Part 2 and Part 3), new creatures, and additional gameplay mechanics based on player feedback.

We also plan to improve overall balance, performance, and polish, as well as enhance visuals, sound design, and user experience over time.

Our goal is to grow NIVO into a more complete and refined co-op horror experience while keeping the fun and chaotic gameplay at its core.”

What is the current state of the Early Access version?

“The Early Access version of N.I.V.O offers a complete and playable core experience.
Players can access the first set of maps and experience the main gameplay loop, including collecting items, feeding the AI-driven monster, and avoiding smaller creatures that chase the players.

The game is already fully functional in co-op mode, and we are actively working on improving performance, balance, and overall polish based on player feedback.”

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

“We currently do not plan to change the price during or after Early Access.
Players who purchase NIVO in Early Access will receive all future updates and content at no additional cost.

Our focus is on improving and expanding the game rather than adjusting the price.”

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

“We plan to involve the community by actively listening to player feedback and using it to guide future updates and improvements.

Players will be able to share their ideas, report issues, and suggest new features through community discussions and social platforms.
We aim to use this feedback to help shape new maps, gameplay balance, and overall quality of the experience during Early Access.

Our goal is to develop N.I.V.O together with the community and make it a better and more fun co-op horror game over time.”

About This Game

NIVO is a cooperative suspense game where players investigate and eliminate anomalies appearing across different maps.

Each map features its own atmosphere, events, and anomaly types. Some anomalies are immediately noticeable, while others subtly alter the environment and can escape even the most observant eyes.

Your objective is to examine your surroundings, identify anomalies, and eliminate them before the map falls out of control.

Each new level requires greater observation, attention, and teamwork.
