Baroque wilderness-builder Nightingale has not been doing brilliantly since Ed Thorn described the launch early access version as “a numbers grind disguised as a gaslamp survival game”. We had moderately high hopes for it before the early access release – I personally enjoy the fairytale setting, with its pop-up Pucks and magic umbrellas, but I also think I’ve raised enough hovels on procedurally generated maps for one lifetime. Still, I’d quite like it to come good, if only so I can justify op-eds about Lewis Carroll, and I’m somewhat encouraged by what I’ve heard of the game’s forthcoming Realms Rebuilt update.
