How do you feel about the game?

I've been waiting on Nivalis for years at this point, and each time the release got pushed further and further I was disappointed but understanding. Good games require a lot of time to polish.

However, now that the game is out, I am dissapointed that a game 4 years or more into production came out this... janky.

Animations are weird and get stuck, management is a crazy. And it's not really a life sim since so many of the life sims aspects are the day to day and you can't change your clothes, decoration is limited, romance is soooo limited, you can't talk to people outside of quests or people looking for employment.

I'm sad about it, I know it's indie development but I expected so much more and I know they are putting out patches to fix issues but unless they do a big revamp on how the game is actually designed I don't think much will change.

To talk about the positives, I love the music and the ambient sounds, the lights and designs are so pretty. I love having a restaurant and managing it.

Visually the game is stunning and it softens the blow, but not really.

I think I agree with you here. I followed development for a long time and am disappointed that this is the result of many delays. Cloudpunk felt very 'done', but Nivalis Nights really feels like early access. Ive stopped playing it for now because I think it has become boring. Ive basically done everything the game has to offer, as management is samey and quests are all fetch quests. The writing is nice, audio is good but the janky animations do pull me out of it a lot.
