<p>Nivalis marks a return to the neon-lit cyberpunk city first found in ION LANDS' Cloudpunk. The upcoming game blends cyberpunk and restaurant management elements. The game ditches the linear narrative for open-world exploration and business building.</p>

<p>This time, Nivalis promises to take players to carve their path in a dynamic sandbox experience. Starting with a humble establishment like a noodle stand or nightclub.</p>

<p>The game also offers a large, open world with 19 explorable areas. Players will have the freedom to explore the city on foot, by boat, or by taking trains or taxis. These rides function as cutscenes initially but later allow for fast travel.</p>

<p>While the full graphics options haven't been revealed yet, more details will be available closer to launch. In addition, developers hinted at considering the possibility of adding pets to the game based on player feedback.</p>
