Nightingale for PC is a shared world survival crafting game set in an alternative Victorian world. Sort of Minecraft gone fantasy shared world survival, if you like. Your character is stranded beyond our world, cut off by the sudden collapse of the arcane portal network and must learn to navigate in this new and rather dangerous world…

The game begins, as most survival games do, with you in a pretty basic set-up – the bare minimum is given to you. Some sticks, the ability to make fire, and a list of items to forage and quest for to get you to the next, slightly more comfortable level of shelter/ food/ clothing etc. However, unlike most survival games, the emphasis is not on the endless grind, and it isn’t long before you are well-dressed and living in a comfortable home.

But you’re not content with that – there is always more to improve upon or upgrade or get more of. From the bare basics of survival, it doesn’t take long for us to add comfort, beauty and opulence – even fun! – to our list of ‘must-haves’ and this game knowingly exploits that trait to very good effect.
