Survive the Nights

The game takes advantage of day and night cycles. Preparing during daylight hours when moving around the world is less risky. Make use of existing structures instead of building them. Play as a team to better your chances to survive each night.

                                                              

Use the day time hours to roam the island, find loot and prepare for the night to come. Fortify structures, set traps, start fires, get meals and bandages ready. When the night falls, you will not want to venture too far from a secure structure.

 

Here's some of what Survive the Nights has to offer in its first public alpha build. Please remember, we’re dedicated to listening to the players.

Day and Night Cycles

There’s a big difference between day and night, remembering that may be key to your survival. Day and night cycles make for dynamic gameplay. Zombies are scarce and far more docile during daylight hours. Nightfall brings out dead so it’s best to be indoors by then. Traveling at night is not advised. Using a firearm in a town at night would draw hordes. It’s best to stick indoors unless you have a large group of friends.

  • Search based on recipe or ingredient

  • Use large and small workbenches to craft items both large and small

Placement and Storage

The placement system allows for players to move any crafted or found physical game drop as they see fit. Placement will allow for players to make a structure feel more like their own.

  • Manipulate any loot drop

  • Placement directly from the inventory

  • Place and store goods on counters, shelves or tables

  • Vehicles can power structures

Mental Health System

Our mental health system is being developed to discourage "Kill On Sight" mentality. The zombies are a real threat and you’ll better your chances of surviving with friends and not killing every stranger that comes walking by. PVP is still a factor as it should be and there are means to correct a negative mental state.

  • Kill players repeatedly and pay the price

  • Eat raw or rancid foods and lower your mental state

  • Eat warm meals or fresh foods to raise your mental state

  • Extreme lows in the mental health stat will result in death

Nutrition and Hydration

Realistic food and drink intake is a big part of the game. You don't need to eat too frequently so eating and drinking feels like a smooth mechanic and less like a burden. Eating and maintaining a proper diet can even result in character buffs.

                           

  • Realistic calorie consumption

  • Realistic hydration system

  • Only eat what you need for a day

  • Eat more and build your calorie, stamina and overall health stats

  • Consume cooked foods to lower your chance of sickness

Global Stats and Steam Achievements

Server based leader boards allow you to see who has survived the longest on the server. Each player will also have personal stats seen via the main menu. The game also tracks global stats, seen on our website/forum and discord server.

 

Something we’re including right from the first alpha build is steam achievements. How many nights will you survive? Just like all of our features we’ll gather ideas for Steam Achievements from the community. We’ll expand greatly on achievements but you’ll have many to earn in early access such as nights survived, trees felled, times killed, zombies killed etc.
