About Nightfall

Nightfall is a top down sci-fi game with turn based combat, the game has a retro art style and is more of a casual game. After waking up on a strange world without any recollection of your past, you must explore, fight, and survive in order to rediscover your memories and find out why, and by whom they were taken away. You will progress through the game with a companion and acquire stronger items, weapons, and armor, these will boost different stats to allow you to combat enemies easier and faster. You will rediscover the characters lost memories by eliminating key enemies or bosses.

This is the roadmap for the game showing the goals for the major updates I have planned.
This roadmap may change over the development process.

ngl makes me want to kms idc if its free the music made my ears bleed because its so loud by default that it breaks the audio and starts getting all crunchy and ♥♥♥♥ and the game design or lack thereof makes no sense. I played for 13 minutes and got a headache so bad that I just took an advil and went to bed. I really dont get why this is rated mostly positive even tho its bad. I do NOT care if its the first game you put out. it does not need to be on steam. I feel bad for you because you don't make anything off of this and you spent $100 just to put this on steam. We all have to start somehow but this is not how. You should have had friends try a demo or smth privately and worked from there.

Nightfall is a compact science-fiction role-playing game built around mystery, exploration, and traditional turn-based combat. Developed and published by Split World Studios, it begins with a familiar but effective premise: the protagonist awakens on an unknown planet with no memories and little understanding of the circumstances that brought them there. From that starting point, the adventure becomes a search for answers, with exploration and combat gradually revealing fragments of the character’s forgotten past. It is an uncomplicated concept, but it gives the journey a clear purpose beyond simply defeating enemies and collecting stronger equipment. One of the more interesting aspects of Nightfall is how character memories are incorporated into progression. Important enemies and bosses are connected to pieces of the protagonist’s missing history, so major encounters have narrative significance rather than functioning only as combat checkpoints. Recovering memories provides an incentive to continue investigating the world because each discovery potentially answers another question about the protagonist and the forces responsible for their situation. The story does not attempt the…

this game is complete and utter trash. the battles are boring, the story is non-existent, and the music is terrible.

This game is interesting I would give it a three out of five, due to not being able to 100% the game and also the world is kind of just black and grey it would be awesome if you add color and a more interesting environment. fun thank you

It may be unfinished and I believe discontinued by the developer, I really enjoyed what the game had to offer! I really love the design for the characters, it just makes me smile in a way. Hopefully the developer can work on the game again!
