Nightingale

The action-RPG where Stargate meets Mary Poppins, Nightingale, is currently free, for Windows — 100% free to keep — in during an Epic Store time-limited giveaway offer. Don’t miss it, as Nightingale normally costs US$29.99!

Nightingale is a survival action game with action-RPG elements and intriguing literary references, set in an open, procedural steampunk-inspired world that can be explored in both first- and third-person perspectives. It was developed by Inflexion Games and released in early access on February 20, 2024.

The game is set in a fantastical gaslamp version of the Victorian era — described by some as a blend of Mary Poppins and Stargate — where players craft essential items, gather resources to survive, complete quests, and face challenges involving dimensional rifts, arcane technologies, and powerful enchantments.

Published by Inflexion Games itself and available for Windows, Nightingale has been generally well received, especially for its vast, explorable, and distinctive setting. So far — and keeping in mind that the game is still in early access — it holds mostly positive reviews on the platforms where it is available.

About the game

Nightingale is an open-world survival and crafting game that can be played solo or cooperatively with friends. Step into the shoes of a Realmwalker and reactivate ancient Crossroad Portals as you travel through twisted forests, gravity-defying deserts, and more.

Build, craft, fight, and uncover secrets as you journey through mystical Portals into the beautiful yet perilous Fae Realms. Face dangerous dungeons, formidable bosses, and explore a maze of immersive supernatural Dimensions.

In your downtime, construct a sprawling Estate with a wide range of building materials, decorate it with furniture, crafting stations, and comforts of all kinds.

As you master the arcane magick of the Fae, harness the power of Realm Cards to unlock new challenges across procedurally generated worlds brimming with adventure.

OFFLINE MODE

Nightingale can now be played without an internet connection! This mode supports Steam Deck, cloud saves, and character migration from online play.
