Set in a grim world inspired by authentic Slavic mythology, Night is Coming drops players into a realm where nature shows no mercy and Darkness relentlessly devours the lands once ruled by Prince Velimir. Every decision matters, every harvested resource awakens the forest’s wrath, and every sunset might be your last.
Night is Coming offers a rich settlement-building experience with in-depth economy systems, an expansive tech tree, and complex tactical combat that demands precision and foresight. Manage your settlers through indirect command, optimize production, research lost knowledge and magic—but above all, prepare for nightfall. When the Blood Moon rises, even the most brilliant strategies will be put to the ultimate test.
What awaits you in Night is Coming:
Settlement building and development with an advanced management system. Construct homes and workshops, craft weapons and fortifications, assign tasks, monitor your villagers' needs, and optimize production workflows.
The stronger your walls and the more efficient your labor, the better your chances of surviving one more night—and withstanding the forest’s growing wrath.
Combat and defense. A tactical interface inspired by classic RTS games allows you to give commands to your warriors, use magic, control unit placement, and take advantage of terrain. The active pause system lets you make critical decisions—because every night could be your last.
New knowledge and magic. Master a multi-layered tech tree with two distinct branches, unlocking a wide range of production technologies and combat upgrades—each requiring different resources to research. Learn ancient spells, craft protective charms, and discover new ways to survive in an increasingly hostile world.
A living, dangerous world. Explore four unique biomes, each with its own landscapes, resources, and enemies. The shifting seasons affect everything—from food gathering to dark creatures' behavior and the very terrain itself. Summer brings harvest and relative peace, while winter offers only cold, hunger, and helplessness before the beasts that emerge from their dens.
Unique survival mechanics. Monitor the physical and mental state of every villager. Prepare for brutal winters and keep spirits high as the inevitable Darkness creeps closer.
Village infrastructure and progression. Plan and grow your settlement across four upgrade levels. From raw materials to advanced processing, build a prosperous infrastructure. The indirect control system and specialization mechanics demand tactical foresight and smart resource allocation.
Sinister threats. When the sun sets, true horror begins. Revenants prowl the woods, volkodlaks howl at the moon, and leshies claw their way from the thicket. They watch. They wait. They hunger. Your walls, warriors, and magic are all that stand between survival and the abyss.
An immersive world inspired by Slavic mythology. Wander through lands steeped in legend. Fantastical beings, spirits, and ancient legends come to life across vast plains, treacherous swamps, and shadowy forests. Leshies, Ash Hags, and Night Hags are just a glimpse of the horrors lurking in the dark corners of the world.
Harsh challenges. Ruthless winters, savage monsters, and something far worse lie ahead. Unpredictable events will test your ability to adapt. During the rise of the Blood Moon, enemies grow stronger, and the forest’s vengeance turns nature itself against you—the more you harvest, the more violent the onslaught. Find the balance between growth and survival.
And that’s just a glimpse of what lurks in Night is Coming! Enter the cursed lands, fight for survival, and see if you can resist the Darkness.
