Questions before moving to Nivalis

Find the current answers on release, platforms, business, travel and relationships. All guidance distinguishes official descriptions from mechanics that still need the released build.

When does it release? Is it Early Access?

Steam lists September 29, 2026. The official developer FAQ specifies a full release without an Early Access period. An exact worldwide unlock hour has not been verified.

Can I play on console, Mac or Linux?

Windows PC is confirmed. The FAQ says PC is the current focus; no additional platform release is established by the sources checked here. Epic has a Coming Soon listing that should be checked separately from Steam.

Can I drive cars or only a boat?

The developer Q&A describes automated HOVA taxis and trains, says cars are not player-drivable, and confirms a boat the player can pilot. The full station and dock network still requires a launch check.

Are all characters romanceable?

Romance is one of the relationship types described. That does not establish eligibility for every character. A complete partner list and route requirements remain unverified.

Do the calculators contain real game prices?

No game presets are active. Enter your own values; each tool shows its assumptions and formula. Verified presets will require a source capture and current build record.
