Last year, as part of Save & Sound 2023, our composer Harry Critchley spoke about his work on Nivalis.

Got any questions for the team? Leave them here in the comments or message us across any of our social channels and we’ll do our best to cover as many as we can in our next blog. For now though, let’s go through some of the questions we received last month. [b]How many apartments/houses will be available for rent? Will we be able to customize our home as we wish in a flexible manner?[/b] In Nivalis you will be able to rent out more than ten apartments and you can decorate them all as you like. One of your apartments can have a classic touch, the other one can be more futuristic. It’s completely up to you how you want to design your home. [b]Any chance Nivalis will be playable on Steam Deck?[/b] We are fully aware of the popularity of the Steam Deck and our aim is to make Nivalis playable on it. However, we cannot fully confirm it yet, but we are very optimistic that this should be possible. [b]Will we see changeable weather in Nivalis?[/b] Yes, the weather will change in Nivalis. There will be sunny days, but also cloudy and rainy days. For the latter ones, we don’t recommend going out on the sea and rather stay in the city. https://store.steampowered.com/app/1488490/Nivalis/
