Gave it a chance. Every game workers end up bugging out on gathering wood and game becomes unplayable as they all get hung up on some stupid ish. Maybe in like 4 years when 1.0 comes out, this game will be pretty cool. Besides that early game ghosts is so uncalled for, knocking out my entire population in early build stage is devastating and pretty much becomes an instant restart game. Needs polish, globs of it. Also the Rest Mechanic is kinda goofy.

About the Game
Night is Coming is a survival strategy game set in a fantasy world inspired by Slavic mythology and the nature of Eastern Europe.
The Darkness is relentlessly devouring the lands, forcing survivors to hide in the woods, where each new day is a battle against death. You are to lead a group of those humbled by impending dread: build and develop your settlement, gather resources, and protect your people from monsters that lurk in the dark. Take care of the settlers, make them learn crafts and military skills so their next sunset is not their last. Over time, you will have to leave the lands you developed and look for the new ones... Who knows, maybe there you will find out how to repel the inevitable danger and save the world.
Will you be able to do all that is needed before the sunset?

Your management skills and strategic vision will determine the fate of your people. Delegate tasks to your settlers: regulate the gathering of essential resources, provision of food, clothing, and shelter. Attract new settlers. Teach them farming, smithing, and other necessary crafts. Explore the surrounding lands and send your warriors to search for rare materials. Who knows what unexpected lands and what random events await you there...

Each settler is an individual with their own attributes, needs, skills, and strengths. Govern them wisely and guide their talents towards the settlement improvement. Settlers' morale will impact their resilience and determine their capability to overcome life struggles and challenges.

Build houses to protect your dwellers and keep them warm, workshops to make tools, and barracks to train your warriors. And don't forget about warehouses for storing resources. Infrastructure plays a crucial role in settlement growth: upgrade your buildings to increase production efficiency, provide settlers with everything they need, and strengthen your defenses against the approaching Darkness.

Develop a strong military force by training warriors of various specialties and enhancing the defense of your borders. You can supervise each warrior directly or trust them to act independently. Magic is also your ally: different spells can help you with the needs of your settlers as well as support you on a battlefield — by using magic you can protect your warriors and cause damage to your enemies.

The nights grow increasingly longer and colder, but snowstorms and penetrating frost are not your only enemies... Portals open everywhere, allowing Prince Velimir's servants to hunt down the survivors. The longer you stay in one place, the stronger the Darkness grows and more ruthless the nights become: with every house built, with every lair destroyed the pressure of the woods only gets worse. Ghouls, Leshies, Werewolves, and Night Hags are only some of the creatures that will try to destroy your settlement. You'll have to defend your land against monsters and defeat their Baron so that you are able to move to new lands.

The future of your settlement depends on your progress. You will need to collect Spirit Energy, Darkness Shards, technology and defense points and use them to research new technologies and advance your manufacturing methods to master farming, build new structures, and increase their level and efficiency. Moreover, you'll be able to unlock new spells, magic boosters, new warrior subclasses, advanced armor, and weaponry.

Experience a dynamic and ever-changing world: sunrises and sunsets, sounds of nature, elemental spirits, seasonal and weather changes. All of this will be accompanied by an enchanting soundtrack from master instrumentalist Alizbar, as well as by many other original tracks.

User Reviews
Out of all the years I've been on Steam, I have only requested a refund twice. Game can take 4 - 5 minutes to launch after clicking play and will occasionally crash during playtime. This one just isn't ready to be sold yet. It is in Early Access, but plenty of Early Access games are finished and just need polished. This one isn't finished yet.
Interesting setting and kind of a unique take on the whole settler/survival strategy game genre but it is still really rough around the edges as far as bugs and balancing goes. It's unfortunate because I really wanted to like it but right now it's just too early access for me. Going to let the dev cook a little longer on this one before I give it another go.
a nice game with a good consept since i enjoy building things the army aspect is crap the limitations placed on the player is stupid and far to few troops allowed game breaking bug where the villagers just walk around like headless chicken wanting to pick up the same log a hole day
so far unclear what to do or how to proceed
The game is very fun and has some real solid bones to it. My only real complaint so far is that I wish I could zoom out more. The camera feels a bit tight for what it needs to be. I very much enjoy the roaming beasts. Had a hag steal the soul of one of my workers whilst defending them from an avenging hive cluster. A bit unforgiving but I think that is the point. Look forward to more cleaning of the game and its further progress.
Its a fun game. City builder + survival. Has a lot of potential to grow. I didn't experience any bugs or crashes and played 8 hours so far.
COOL GAME
Beautifully crafted.
Very good mechanics and city building, i hope they add more stuff and further tech, but so far this game is amazing. something like stronghold city building wise, something like witcher when it comes to the monsters ur fighting. 10/10 keep working on this guys!
