A downloadable game

Light vs. Shadow

A desktop bullet-heaven of light against shadow. The dark is full of things that want you, and your only weapon is the light you cast.

Carve a circle of sight from the void, burn what steps into it, and survive the deepening Nights!


Hold Back the Dark

Demons are pouring out of the dark nothingness and you are a single point of light in the NIGHTVELD. .. Everything beyond your light is going to hunt you. 

Out here, sight is survival

Sweep your beam across the swarm, choose godly powers as you level, and push them back as many Nights as you can last, before the dark closes in.

Light is the weapon

What you illuminate, you can kill. What you can't see can still kill you.

A living dark

A twin-stick survivor of escalating swarms, set in a creeping, candle-lit void.

Godly power-ups

Burn-shields, over-shields, god-ray bursts,  stack mitigation, crits, area, and speed into a build that's yours.

NIGHTVELD is challenging from the first Night, brutal by the last.

Spread the light, defeat the darkness

Playable demo coming soon, follow the game for updates!
