Is Nivalis Nights Connected to Cloudpunk?

How Nivalis Nights shares its city with Cloudpunk while remaining a standalone experience.

Quick answer: Yes. Nivalis Nights takes place in the same city featured in ION LANDS’ earlier game Cloudpunk, and returning players may notice familiar details and small connections. It is designed to stand alone.

Shared setting

ION LANDS directly confirms that Nivalis is the same city. Technology such as HOVA transport and the cyberpunk urban setting may feel familiar to Cloudpunk players.

No prerequisite game

The developer also says Nivalis Nights is designed as a standalone experience. Players should not need to finish Cloudpunk to understand the main story, characters or management systems.

Reference guide policy

Connections will be documented only when a location, character, event or object is verifiably shared. Visual resemblance alone is not enough to create a lore claim.
