Nivalis Nights Transportation Guide

How HOVA taxis, trains and player-controlled boats move players between and within districts.

Quick answer: Players travel between districts using automated HOVA taxis and trains. Cars cannot be driven, but the player can pilot a personal boat to explore waterways and reach connected areas.

Inter-district travel

Nivalis is divided into large districts, and automated transportation handles movement between them. The developer confirms loading screens during district changes.

Water travel

The player’s boat is the directly controllable vehicle confirmed so far. It supports exploration, reaches water-connected areas and expands fishing by opening new spots and species.

What is not established

Fares, station maps, schedules and fast-travel unlock rules have not been published. These need route testing in the final build.
