About This Game

WHAT IS NIGHTHOLME?

Nightholme is a 12-player, third-person PvEvP extraction game set in a modern world of cosmic horror and the occult. Play a shapeshifting Grimrunner, solo or in duos. Choose your loadout and playstyle, then stalk, hunt, and loot. Fight other players or ally with them, for as long as it suits you. Complete quests or gather what you need to summon a nightmarish boss. But time is running out. Extract with your loot and what’s left of you. 

EVERY STEP TOWARD POWER COSTS YOU

No guns. Combat is about positioning, timing, and knowing which powers to use, and when. 

• Grimrunner: You're a hunter in control: patient, methodical, silent. Choose your routes, stalk your prey, and pick your fights carefully. 

• Grimspawn: Surrender control for monstrous power. Unleash devastating abilities, but every use brings you closer to losing yourself. 

Both forms wear you down. Push too far and you become an Abomination, a living nightmare stripped of humanity. Your last chance to recover: kill another player and rip out their Soul Tether before time runs out. Fail, and you lose everything you carried.

EVERY RUN STARTS WITH CHOICES

Each run, pick a Mythos. It determines your abilities, your Grimspawn and Abomination forms. 

• Voorbeasts are fury incarnate. Raw, feral, and lethal up close. 

• Seers kill from afar. They levitate and cast curses.  

• Nameless kill from nowhere. Nightmare made flesh, they can move through walls.

Level up mid-run to unlock abilities and upgrades. Every choice shapes your build, with plenty of room for skill expression.

A CITY THAT REACTS AND NEVER REPEATS

Wraithford's streets may look familiar, but every run reshuffles their threats and opportunities. And nothing happens in isolation. Set off a car alarm, wake a Gloom Victim and its swarm, power up a generator, or hide.

See what comes to investigate, and what that triggers next.

A NEW NIGHTMARISH BOSS EVERY WEEK

Every week, Wraithford unleashes a new nightmare. A Gloomfiend unlike any before it, with its own terrifying form, deadly abilities, and a power worth claiming. Prepare across runs to earn the right to summon it. Defeat it, extract with its Terror Seed, and use it to craft or empower gear with unique effects.

ONE MORE RUN

Between runs, turn your spoils into stronger gear and lasting progression. Prepare for whatever Wraithford throws at you next.

• Complete quests for rewards

• Loot items and resources to unlock recipes, expand your inventory, and upgrade gear

• Take on weekly boss challenges at several difficulties 

• Unlock new looks for your Grimrunner in the Hub

• Earn progression unlocks and cosmetic rewards every season

So… ready to begin? Marvelous. Welcome to Nightholme. Do try to survive. We've only begun to take an interest in you.
