About this game
Seasons
Spring:
- Spring brings a refreshing change with blooming flowers and milder temperatures. It's a time of renewal.
Rainy:
- The Rainy Season drenches the world in frequent downpours.
Summer:
- Summer is hot and dry, often leading to scorching heatwaves. This season is ideal for farming and agriculture!
Foggy:
- The Fog season blankets the environment in thick mist, reducing visibility and making navigation difficult. It’s a time when creatures may hide and ambush, so move cautiously and use landmarks to find your way.
Winter:
- Winter brings frigid temperatures and heavy snow, covering the land in a thick layer of ice. Resources become scarce, and staying warm is essential for survival. Prepare well to endure the coldest and harshest time of the year.
DURING THE DAY!
Collect
Collect Resources During the Day:
You have a full day to gather as many resources as possible. Use this time wisely to stock up on essential supplies like food, wood, and materials for crafting.
New Day, New Opportunities:
When you sleep, the world outside resets, making everything disappear and fresh resources spawn for the new day. Plan your actions carefully to make the most of each day’s unique offerings.
Death Means Loss:
If you die, you lose everything you’ve collected (just player inventory) up to that point. Survival is key, so always be cautious and avoid unnecessary risks to keep your hard-earned items safe.
Collecting Takes Time:
Gathering resources is time-consuming, so having a strategy is crucial. Prioritize what you need most and manage your time effectively to maximize your resource collection.
Farming
Collecting Fruits and Crops:
Harvest fruits and crops from the wild or from cultivated land to gather fresh, nutritious ingredients. Be mindful of the seasons, as some crops are only available during certain times of the year, providing a variety of foods for different needs.
Farming with Your Collected Crops:
Use the crops you’ve gathered to start your own farm, planting seeds and nurturing them until they grow. Farming allows you to create a steady supply of food, ensuring you always have something to eat, even in harsher seasons.
Collecting Animal Products:
Gather valuable resources from animals, such as eggs, milk, or wool, by tending to domesticated animals or foraging in the wild. These animal products are essential for crafting, cooking, and maintaining a balanced diet.
Eating Your Food or Cooking Like a Chef:
Consume raw ingredients for quick nourishment or elevate your meals by cooking them into delicious dishes. Cooking not only enhances the taste but can also provide better nutritional benefits, making you feel full and energized for longer.
Craft
Craft Valuable Items for a Better Life:
Use the resources you’ve gathered to craft tools and items that enhance your survival. From simple tools to complex machinery, crafting allows you to create the essentials that make daily life easier and more efficient.
Clothing for Extreme Weather Conditions:
Survival in extreme weather depends on crafting the right clothing to protect yourself from the elements. Whether it's thick furs for the freezing cold or light garments for sweltering heat, having the appropriate attire can mean the difference between life and death.
Defend Yourself from the Dead Ones:
Craft sturdy defenses to protect yourself from the undead that roam the night. Whether you’re building fortifications or forging blades, preparing for battles is essential to fend off these relentless threats and ensure your safety.
Storing
Use Your Chest or Fridge to Store Everything You Have:
Organize your collected resources by storing them in a chest, keeping your inventory clean and ready for new adventures. Chests are perfect for holding everything from tools and crafting materials to treasures, ensuring you always have what you need at your fingertips.
Here is the night!
Zombies
Quiet and calm:
If you cross paths with a zombie, it’s a battle for survival where only one can emerge as the victor you or the zombie. Move slowly and cautiously, keeping your senses sharp, as even the slightest movement could determine who walks away and who becomes just another lifeless, motionless form on the ground.
They are the ones who will die:
The Normal Zombies shamble slowly around with a steady, persistent gait, The Speedy Zombies move incredibly fast, darting around and constantly getting in your way, while The Worker Zombies, dressed in their tattered uniforms and carrying the tools of their past lives, are strong and durable, able to withstand more damage, The Sick Zombies are grotesque creatures whose touch can affect your hunger and make you move much faster, disorienting your sense of control. The Silent Zombies are masters of deception, blending seamlessly into their surroundings by shapeshifting into a BANANA. Unlike other zombies, they remain perfectly still, silently waiting to catch you off guard. It's crucial to remember what was around before the nightfall any new or suspicious items could be a deadly trap, as these zombies are impossible to kill once revealed. But be warned, the ultimate enemy the '?' is a terrifying force to be reckoned with.
Treasure hunt
The real loot:
As night falls, the world becomes a dangerous place, with the dead ones emerging from the darkness to hunt. But with this danger comes great opportunity, as valuable items (like bullets) also appear under the cover of night. Brave the shadows to collect these real rewards, but always stay vigilant and protect yourself from the lurking dead ones, ready to strike at any moment.
About the Game
"Necropolis Nights" is a thrilling survival card game set on a dynamic board where every decision counts. By day, gather resources, craft tools, hunt animals, fish, and farm crops to stockpile supplies. But beware: when night falls, the undead rise. Defend yourself from zombies and survive the darkness. Strategize your actions, adapt to changing circumstances, and manage your resources wisely to endure the endless nights and build a haven in a world overrun by the undead.
Each new day introduces a fresh set of cards, replacing those from the previous day. To survive, you'll need to carefully choose your strategy and prioritize what you collect. As resources change daily, you must decide what to gather whether it’s food, tools, or other resources to adapt to the evolving challenges. Every decision counts, as you’ll need to balance immediate survival needs with long term goals. Collect the right cards and manage your resources wisely to outlast the dangers of the night.
Key Features:
Dynamic Day-Night Cycle: The gameplay shifts dramatically between gathering and preparing during the day and collect valuable items without falling prey to zombies at night.
Evolving Challenges: Each day resets the available resources, presenting a new puzzle to solve. Will you focus on farming for food, scavenging for weapons, or crafting defenses to hold off the undead?
Unique Card Mechanics: Cards represent your resources, tools, and actions. With limited slots and changing availability, you’ll need to carefully plan your deck to maximize efficiency and survivability.
Crafting and Resource Management: Combine collected materials to create powerful tools, weapons, and fortifications. Each crafted item can be the difference between survival and being overwhelmed.
Survival Meets Strategy: Balance your short-term survival needs with long-term goals. Plan for the future while managing the present—every choice counts.
Replayability: A dynamic board and procedurally generated cards ensure a fresh experience every time you play, with unpredictable challenges and events to overcome.
Zombie Variety: Face different types of undead, each with unique behaviors and abilities, forcing you to adapt your tactics as the game progresses.
The Ultimate Survival Experience
In "Necropolis Nights", survival isn’t just about enduring one night—it’s about outlasting an endless apocalypse. As resources dwindle and the undead grow stronger, can you adapt, strategize, and rise above the chaos to carve out a safe haven? The decisions you make during the day will define your fate when darkness falls.
