Prepare during the day. Survive the night. Survive the Nights is a hardcore open-world survival game where preparation is everything. Scavenge, craft, fortify, and plan during the day — because when night falls, the infected hunt in numbers, and mistakes are punished. Play solo or with friends in a brutal post-apocalyptic sandbox where survival is earned through smart decisions, strong fortifications, and cooperation under pressure. Zombies Zombie difficulty comes from numbers, not individual strength. By day they roam slowly — by night they gather into massive hordes drawn to player activity. The longer you survive, the bigger and more dangerous the nights become. Fortify Everything Structures and vehicles are fully fortifiable. Cover windows and add strength to gain the advantage.  Mobile Homes Like to be on the move? Take your home on the road. Cook, sleep and store your items in your mobile base. Storage and bases Settle into your new home by using pegboards, player storage and blueprints to put your stamp on the place. Physically place your items in the world to make your perfect survival hideout. Use traps to get the upper hand. Traps can give you the edge when zombies or raiders arrive. Nutrition & Hydration Cook over an open fire or directly on a stove to manage your calorie and hydration needs. Maintaining your player vitals will increase your overall strength and carrying capacity over time. Sick of canned food? Head out into the wilderness to hunt for larger animals. When food stores start to run out, turn to farming for your calorie needs. Protect your crops indoors under light or grow them outside in the warmer months to produce food that will last through winter. Weapon Customization Weapon attachments let you customize your gun and get it just right for your play style. Vehicle Maintenance Every vehicle is repairable. Engine and wheel parts are required to get a vehicle running. Items can be stored in trunks and on truck beds. POIs Explore the different points of interest to find valuable location-specific loot. Weather & Seasons The weather is dynamic including all four seasons along with seasonal vegetation and foliage. Day & Night Objectives Spend your days preparing to survive the onslaught at night. Zombies are more aggressive and alert when the sun goes down. Day Objectives: During the day, focus on resource gathering and fortification. Fell trees, craft planks, engage in hunting and trapping. Collect loot, food, and fortify a structure. Ensure doors and containers are locked, fuel generators, and prepare power systems. Keep your health up by lighting fires, crafting bandages, and gearing up for the night. Night Objectives: At night, prioritize safety and stealth. Team up with friends in a secured structure, favor melee over firearms to stay quiet. Activate generators, power up structures, set traps, and cook meals indoors on wood stoves. The key is to survive until morning. Mental Health System The mental health system discourages the ‘Kill On Sight’ mentality, promoting alliances for better survival against the zombie threat. While PVP is still a factor, players have ways to correct a negative mental state. Your Apocalypse, Your Rules Survival and zombies how you like them! Browse hundreds of scenarios that set the scene for your perfect survival experience. Zombie survival just how you want it. Electrical Systems Powering a structure can provide light to make nighttime activities easier. Some structures also require electricity to power interior and exterior doors. Modding Full Steam Workshop support with the ability to mod all areas of the game. Mods can be browsed and installed directly ingame. Steam Achievements If achievements are your thing, we’ve got you covered. With almost 100 achievements, you’ll be busy for some time. Can you ‘Choke a Chicken’? Server Hosting & Solo Play Simple game hosting that uses steam relays. There’s no need to port forward. Simply choose your settings and start playing. Plans for Future Updates Expand electrical systems – This will include electrical traps, house alarms, heating systems, working stoves, more lighting in towns and roadways, light towers, functioning water pumps (water tied to power). Expanding weapons – New weapons and improved handling. Additional vehicles – Expanding on “mobile survival” such as adding box trucks, trailers and light aircraft. Fishing – Spend your days shore side with a line in the water, if you think it’s safe. Character customization – A full scale character customization feature including the implementation of a female character Expand on STN+ and Workshop  –  This includes more furniture, structure painting, holiday lights and decorations, proper Steam workshop implementation and working arcade’s with API.
