Players start with a humble noodle stall in a corner of a futuristic dystopian city and gradually expand their business, eventually rising to the position of owning the city’s best restaurant or a first-class nightclub.
In addition to business expansion, a variety of daily activities are available, such as purchasing and customizing an apartment, exploring waterways by boat, and enjoying fishing. Furthermore, it offers the narrative enjoyment of building bonds with quirky and unique city residents and discovering hidden stories.
From a noodle stall to a business empire, the choice is up to the player.
At ‘Nivalis Night,’ you can spend the day in various ways, such as running a business, mingling with locals, or cruising the canals in a boat in search of fishing spots. The main goal is to grow your business from a humble noodle stall into one of the city’s top restaurants and clubs.
You can purchase the ingredients needed for cooking at local markets or grow your own vegetables. It is also possible to serve meals to guests using fish caught from the sea. You can get around the city on foot, or use public transportation and taxis, and you can also travel along the canals by boat.
By listening to the stories of residents and guests and building friendships, you might even find unexpected love. There is also an option to purchase a home and decorate it to your desired style.
