Among the things I like bestest about Inflexion’s alt-Victorian fantasy survival game Nightingale is its Realm cards mechanic, whereby you generate and modify worlds by playing Major and Minor cards. Major cards are used at portals to conjure up a particular biome or world type and set the difficulty, including an approximate choice of resident NPC factions, local fauna and resources. Minor cards are played within worlds to mess with their workings. You can lower the gravity for optimal umbrella gliding conditions, alter the weather or summon a Blood Moon (sorry, Zelda) that reduces your max health.

The idea of generating and modifying worlds by playing Major and Minor cards is so innovative and adds a whole new level of strategy to the game. I can’t wait to see how this mechanic evolves and potentially even becomes a full-blown collectible card game. It’s exciting to see indie games like this pushing the boundaries of traditional gaming and offering unique gameplay experiences. Can’t wait to dive deeper into the world of Nightingale!
