What is Nivalis Nights?
Nivalis Nights loop: venues, ingredients, relationships, boat fishing, homes, and curfew choices in the city of Nivalis.
Nivalis Nights is a Cyberpunk life sim · hospitality management · fishing · romance from ION LANDS, published by 505 Games. Grow your business, manage restaurants and nightclubs, make friends and enemies, buy and decorate apartments, go fishing and maybe even find love in a cyberpunk city that stretches from the ocean to the clouds.
Start humble with a noodle stand, then climb toward restaurants, ramen bars, and nightclubs. Buy or grow ingredients, explore by boat, decorate homes, and risk curfew sabotage while CorpSec tightens its grip.
This Nivalis Nights wiki is organised by the next stuck point: first days, venues, romance, fishing, greenhouse, and curfew. The Nivalis Nights guides cover the same loops with steps instead of a dump of 240 ingredients. A second Nivalis Nights wiki pass should still match Steam App 1488490. Use a Nivalis Nights guide when you need a day plan, not a lore essay. Verified September 29, 2026. Not affiliated with ION LANDS or 505 Games.

Nivalis Nights wiki: vendors, greenhouse, fishing
Nivalis Nights kitchens eat three supply paths. Vendors are flexible, greenhouses are stable, fishing is targeted seafood. City events can spike market prices.
Mid loop
Greenhouse
Rent high-tech greenhouses. Temperature, humidity, and light change yield. Mushrooms and grains feed the widest recipes.
- Spike-proof vs vendor inflation
- Print meat with specialised machines
- Automation modules later
Boat + docks
Fishing
Shoals are simulated, not a loot table roll. Catch can feed kitchens when seafood is expensive.
- Hundreds of fish on screen
- Boat unlocks more spots
- Glow is a render note, not a poison flag
Nivalis Nights Beginner Guide
Nivalis Nights is a daily clock, not a combat RPG. Day 1 is Monday in Lowtown. You meet the noodle-bar intro with 1,000 credits. Choose business, people, or the docks — there is no forced fail for picking the quiet life.
- 1
Learn the apartment and Lowtown
Walk the starting rooms and nearby streets before you over-buy stock. Meridian Market is the named Lowtown start for the noodle bar.
Remember
You play Ava. Cloudpunk knowledge is optional flavour, not a required prequel.
- 2
Open the noodle stand
Serve the first customers and learn queue, menu, and ingredient consume. Ramen Noir is the named starter shop in public recaps.
Remember
Vendors cover ingredients until a greenhouse is worth the rent.
- 3
Take the boat to the docks
Fishing is a real supply path, not a minigame toy. Learn one dock route before you chase every district.
Remember
Walk and the boat first. Extra district hops stay TBA.
- 4
Meet people on purpose
More than 100 voiced characters have stories. Relationship matrix reactions matter for customers and romance routes.
Remember
A romance-labelled search does not mean the game is a dating sim first.
- 5
Rent a greenhouse when the menu stops changing
Grow what you buy most. Climate sliders affect speed and yield. Manual irrigation first; modules later.
Remember
Skipping this forever means every city event can wreck your food cost.
- 6
Decide your first curfew night
CorpSec, security systems, and sabotage exist. What you do to rivals can happen to you.
Remember
You can ignore crime and still finish a legal hospitality run.
Quick tips
Starting cash
Public recaps: 1,000 credits plus the noodle-bar intro on day one.
Same city
Nivalis is the Cloudpunk city. You do not need to finish Cloudpunk first.
Fishing
Fish are physical shoals. The salmon you see is the one you can land.
Grow later
Vendors first. Greenhouse after the menu is stable.
Curfew
Sabotage is two-way. Do not treat it as free money.
Chess
A high-stakes tournament exists. Treat it as a night activity, not a combat skill tree.
Nivalis Nights restaurants and nightclubs
Official features: manage restaurants, ramen bars, and night clubs. Start humble, then own premier nightlife. Staff, menus, seats, and location all eat hours on the daily clock.
Noodle stand / food stall
Lowtown start. Learn serving, queues, and a short menu before you lease a larger kitchen.
Ramen bar
Broader menu and longer service windows. Ingredient breadth starts to matter.
Restaurant
Public recaps: 190+ meals and 240+ ingredients. Boat fishing closes seafood gaps vendors overprice.
Nightclub
Nightlife hours collide with curfew and social hubs. Layout and events matter more than lunch rush.
What to expand first
Stabilise one kitchen’s food cost before you buy a second venue. A pretty nightclub with empty fridges is a money pit.
Nivalis Nights romance, characters, homes
The city is a slice of life: friendships, rivalries, business partners, and possible love. Homes can be decorated for you or for friends. 620+ furniture items are publicly cited.
PAA intent
Romance
Official copy says you may find love. Full romance-lock lists are TBA until a live dump.

Nivalis Nights curfew, CorpSec, weather
Lowtown starts under CorpSec crackdowns. A mysterious serial killer is part of the story. Weather and a full day-night cycle change crowds, moods, and plans.
Night risk
