Description
One line
Grow together or die alone.
Short
Two strangers meet at the end of the world. Their only hope: trust each other, fix up a van, and reach a mountain too cold for the Bloom to follow. In Nightbound, you fight as a pair with turn-based tactics. Prep during the day, fend off enemies at night, and build a bond that outgrows the Bloom.
Key features
- Turn-based tactics for two, built around a shared pool of Command Points.
- Manual aiming with headshots, cover, and interception fire.
- Potentials that turn two survivors into a fighting pair, with customizable cooperative abilities.
- One house to live in by day and defend by night across twelve handcrafted nights.
- Enemy encounters built around readable behaviors, evolving enemy groups, and changing battlefield conditions.
- Quiet daytime routines with cooking, van repairs, arcade games, and small moments that make the house feel like home.
- A character-driven story about two strangers finding hope at the end of the world.
- A late '80s atmosphere with film grain, practical lighting, dense fog, and an original soundtrack.
- An escape story where survival matters more than saving the world.
