## What is Night Game?

One call can change it all.

Night Game is a baseball simulation you watch and manage at the same time. Read the at-bat, the runners, and your pitcher's fatigue, then make the call: steal, sacrifice bunt, squeeze, hit-and-run, pitch-out, pitching change, pinch hit or run, defensive sub, intentional walk. Every decision moves the score.

No gacha, no ads — a spectator sim built around the game itself.

WIN WITH TACTICS
- Steal or hold, stay or go to the bullpen — read the moment and pick the best move
- Use success odds and run expectancy to decide on offense and defense
- Review your calls after the game with the Tactical Review (2 calls per game free, every call with Pro)

A FULL 143-GAME PENNANT
- Two leagues, twelve clubs. From Opening Day through interleague play and the All-Star break to the playoffs and the championship
- Batting titles, home run crowns, award ceremonies, monthly MVPs, and career records that keep building
- The other eleven clubs live by the same rules — signing, trading, and rebuilding

RUN THE FRANCHISE
- A draft with simultaneous first-round bids and lottery ties, plus developmental picks
- Free agency, trades, contract talks, and tryouts for released players — the offseason is yours to manage
- Players age, decline, retire, and reach the Hall of Fame

LONG OR QUICK
- Four tempo modes, from one at-bat at a time to instant results
- Three detail levels — Simple, Standard, Detailed — for newcomers and stat lovers alike
- Choose 3, 5, 7, or 9 innings (Pro)
- Full box scores with batting average, RBIs, and home runs for every player on both teams (Pro)

BUILD YOUR OWN TEAM

### 1/5 — ダウンロードするべきではない

*2026-07-29*

課金しないとまともに遊ばせないぞがすごく伝わってくる悪質なアプリ。

**Developer response:** 率直なご指摘をありがとうございます。不快な思いをさせてしまい申し訳ありません。

おっしゃるとおり、当時のバージョンはメインの項目を押した瞬間に購入画面が出る作りになっていました。先日公開した v1.1 では、鍵のかかっている項目も画面に残したうえで、「それが何をする機能で、どうすれば使えるようになるか」を先に説明する形に変えています。

無料のまま遊べるのは、1日3試合、マイチーム・マイ選手の作成、成績記録と実績です。広告もガチャもありません。有料の「ナイター Pro」で開くのは、試合数無制限・143試合のペナント・球団運営・采配レビュー全件などで、年額プランには7日間の無料トライアルを付けています。課金の前に、すべての機能をひととおり試していただけます。

無料で遊べる範囲については、いただいたご意見をふまえて引き続き見直していきます。ご指摘ありがとうございました。

### 1/5 — 何が面白いのか謎

*2026-07-26*

とりあえずローンチして課金機能つけたらいいみたいな考えなのかな？

**Developer response:** 面白さをお伝えできないままだったこと、申し訳ありません。

ご指摘のとおり、当時は遊びの中心になるはずの「一年を戦う」部分がまだ入っていませんでした。先日公開した v1.1 で、2リーグ12球団・143試合のペナントを追加し、交流戦とオールスターを挟んで日本一まで戦えるようにしています。オフにはドラフト会議（抽選あり）、FA、トレード、現役ドラフト、契約更改、トライアウトがあり、タイトル争いと表彰式、通算記録、殿堂も入りました。

このゲームで味わっていただきたいのは、盗塁か待つか、続投か継投かという一手の判断です。試合後の「采配レビュー」で、その一手が得点の期待値をどう動かしたかを振り返れます。

もし気が向いたら、もう一度触ってみていただけると嬉しいです。ご意見ありがとうございました。

### 4/5 — 野球がわかる人向け

*2026-07-25*

采配で野球をするという新しい？タイプのゲームだが、ちゃんと野球がわからないとそもそもゲームはどちらのチームを担当しているのかすらわからなかった。
UIは洗練されていると感じる一方、全般的なAIみもあり、全体的に野球上級者向けと感じた。面白みがわかれば面白そうなのだが、まだ見出せていない。

**Developer response:** 丁寧なレビューをありがとうございます。「どちらのチームを担当しているのかすらわからない」というご指摘は、こちらの情報設計の失敗でした。

先日公開した v1.1 で、この部分を作り直しています。最初に担当する球団をひとつ選ぶようにし、ホーム画面の一番上につねに自分の球団名が出るようにしました。試合の設定画面・スコア表示・結果画面でも、どちらがあなたの球団かを明示しています。あわせて「ナイターの一年」という画面を追加し、開幕からオフシーズンまでの流れの中で今どこにいるかを見られるようにしました。

野球にくわしくない方にも入り口が伝わるように、これからも直していきます。UI を評価いただけたことも励みになりました。ありがとうございました。
