Heaven sealed its gates. The dead have nowhere to go. Nightfall is a gothic bullet heaven survival RPG set in a hand-crafted pixel world of ruined cathedrals, broken halos, and endless undead. Begin as Michael, move with one hand, and let your weapons tear through the horde while every level forces a new choice. SURVIVE THE LONG NIGHT • Face relentless waves of undead in fast, one-handed runs • Build a different arsenal each night from weapons and passives • Evolve weapons into devastating final forms • Learn boss patterns and defeat the horrors guarding each act CREATE A BUILD WORTH FEARING • Combine upgrades into powerful synergies • Choose greater damage, wider reach, faster attacks, or new effects • Adapt each run as the horde grows stronger • Discover the evolutions that transform your favorite weapons GROW BETWEEN RUNS • Unlock heroes with distinct strengths and play styles • Collect, merge, forge, and enhance gothic gear • Break seals, discover relics, and uncover the story of the shut gates • Enter endless modes and climb the leaderboards A DARK WORLD WITH A SOUL Fight through cursed villages, haunted crypts, and ruined ramparts rendered in tarnished gold and candlelit stone. Vampire Thralls, Nosferatu, Blood Cultists and Belfry Bats hunt you through the night, and the epic Vampire Fang lets you strike back. Each run pushes the story forward—and every dawn is borrowed time. Nightfall is free to play. Optional rewarded ads and in-app purchases are available. Random gear rewards show their odds before you spend gems.

ONE SWIPE. EVERYTHING. SEVER is a one-finger action roguelite where a single swipe is your attack, your dash and your dodge — all at once. Draw a line, commit to the cut, and vanish through your enemies before they close in. No virtual joysticks. No button mashing. Just you, one blade, and total commitment to every strike. COMMITTED MELEE COMBAT Every swipe is a dash-slash: you carve through everything on the line and slip through attacks in the same motion. Chain kills to keep momentum — hesitate and the arena punishes you. 15 UNIQUE BLADES From the lightning-fast Dagger to the massive Nodachi, every weapon retunes your dash — reach, speed, arc and risk. Unlock new blades by descending deeper, then master the edge that fits your style. FELL THE WARDENS A boss guards every floor. Read the telegraph, dash through the sweep, punish the recovery. Deeper down, they hunt in packs. BUILD SOMETHING UNFAIR After every boss, sharpen your blade: hone your stats, learn deadly arts, weave wards — or gamble on a blood pact. Every run stacks into a different killer build. TWO LOOKS, ONE GAME Play in the moody hand-drawn Ink style, or flip to the Retro 8-bit skin for pure arcade nostalgia. WHY YOU'LL STAY • One-finger controls — play anywhere, one hand • Runs are short, deaths are fair, "one more run" is real • Fully OFFLINE — no internet needed • Roguelite depth: drafts, pacts, unlocks, daily streaks • Chase your best score down the endless floors Easy to swipe. Brutal to master. How deep can you descend? Download SEVER and make the first cut.
