Your first day in Nivalis

Get your bearings before expanding

Our suggested first-session order is a planning aid, not a verified tutorial walkthrough. Follow the released game’s prompts and record what they actually unlock. The developers describe a humble noodle-business beginning, but cash amounts and tutorial steps are not yet tested.

• Find your home, venue and nearby ingredient vendor.
• Inspect the clock, inventory and save controls.
• Read the first menu and note its ingredient and equipment requirements.

Make one service cycle understandable

Record opening stock, purchases, wages and sales over the same period. If service slows down, check whether the problem is missing stock, equipment or staffing before spending on expansion. The profit calculator can compare your entered figures without assuming game prices.

• Keep business cash costs separate from personal purchases.
• Note where purchases arrive: personal inventory and kitchen storage are distinct in the developer Q&A.
• Make a second trip only after identifying the missing item.

Leave room for the city

The story and relationships are central to the developer’s description. Choose one conversation or exploration goal alongside the business routine. Before leaving, check what is covered by staff and what still depends on you. Take notes without looking up major story outcomes.
