Nivalis has a Planned Release Date: To be announced for PC (Steam). It is developed by Ion Lands and published by 505 Games. Set in the Cloudpunk universe, it is a life‑sim and business builder. You start with a small food stall, grow into bars and clubs, hire staff, decorate apartments, fish off neon piers, and wander a vertical city that stretches from ocean to clouds.

Review
Nivalis trades delivery runs for ownership. The pitch is routine with texture, the kinds of loops that make a city feel lived in. Open your place, stock ingredients, set prices, and chat with regulars whose small arcs paint neighborhoods better than big cutscenes. Time and weather change foot traffic, so menus and margins shift from day to day. Exploration is light but broad. Alleys hide rare produce, back rooms hold gear upgrades, and side stories unlock perks that make the next night smoother or riskier.
The tone is intimate, cozy even, but not saccharine. Music pulls a lot of weight, and the art direction sells condensation, neon, and old tech. The danger is pacing. If the economy is too generous the sim flattens, if it is too punitive you hit a wall. Navigation will also matter in a vertical sprawl. Clear signage and transit make or break long sessions. If Ion Lands keeps quests tidy and progression honest, this could be a comfortable cyberpunk to settle into.
Verdict: atmospheric slice‑of‑life sim that values routine and small stories.
