A new reality materializes. You find yourself on a solitary island, floating on a sea of liquid void and starlight, ringed by impassable mountains. This world is a mysterious place, yet strangely familiar.

Welcome to Nightwater, where you must master a new reality. Transform raw resources from simple sticks and stones into an industrial factory. Progress your technology through the ages, from primitive tools to modern machines and beyond. Expand the island by manifesting new biomes into existence to harvest their unique resources. Master multiple minigames to unlock powerful buildings and receive strong buffs.

All your efforts serve a single purpose: to reach the Lighthouse and uncover its secrets.

Nightwater is a game about gathering, collecting, and managing resources. There are multiple unique biomes, each with its own resources and secrets to unveil. Every resource features its own progression: gather by hand or automate with machines to hit each resource’s milestone goals and unlock new buildings, crafts, and powerful buffs. Explore every biome to discover 20+ resources and gain access to 100+ buildings, crafts, and buffs.

It’s fun to gather resources yourself, but it’s even more fun to build machines that do the work for you! Choose from 60+ buildings to construct farmers, assemblers, and storage units, link them with pipes, and automate every part of your production chain. You can build as many machines as you want and move or deconstruct them at any time without losing items. Automate all resources and their crafts, and unlock powerful late game buildings to make your factories faster, more efficient, and even bigger!

Use the time while your machines handle the work to progress in one of five unique minigames. Each minigame features its own gameplay loop, items, upgrades, and progression, unlocking new buildings, crafts, and buffs you can use outside the minigame to grow your factory and boost efficiency. The minigames are optional, but they offer fresh variety, their own sense of progression, and powerful rewards.

Nightwater tells a deep, personal story that is never handed to you. You’ll need to uncover hidden secrets, read between the lines, and piece together the clues to learn what Nightwater truly is. The story is fully optional, anyone can reach the end without engaging with it, but only players who search for the truth behind Nightwater and the Lighthouse will uncover all four endings and secret areas.

Nightwater is a game full of variety and unique content. As you play, you’ll uncover many secrets as well as experience a story that will make you question what Nightwater truly means to you.
