Find your place in the vertical city

Nivalis is divided into large districts with businesses, residents and interiors to explore. Official sources describe automated trains and HOVA taxis, player-piloted boats, curfew, security and rival sabotage.

Think in connected stops

A district is a useful unit for planning because one trip can include a vendor, conversation, venue or home. The developer Q&A describes loading screens between districts. We do not yet have a verified travel graph or complete station list.

  • Use trains and taxis for documented automated travel.
  • Use a boat where water access is confirmed.
  • Group errands by the district you actually observe.

Curfew changes the planning question

The store names security systems and sabotage during curfew, including risk from competitors. Exact hours, penalties and safe paths are not verified. Before staying out, check the current warning and your route to a refuge rather than copying an assumed nightly schedule.

  1. Check warnings
  2. Confirm route home
  3. Choose the activity
  4. Recheck conditions

Exact curfew hours, penalties and weather effects are not yet live verified.

Exploration can open opportunities

The July 2025 blog connects Achievement Points with access to areas and business opportunities. The story can also reveal locations according to the Q&A. Keep those sources of access distinct: not every locked doorway is necessarily an Achievement Points gate.

  • Record the displayed requirement at each access point.
  • Attach characters, vendors and properties to observed locations.
  • Keep story details out of public route previews.
