The five kingdoms fell. One ward still holds.

The Hollow took Velmora in a single generation. Five kingdoms, gone quiet one by one, until the survivors of all five stood crammed together on a peninsula behind the last wards — the Cradle.
You grew up there. You learned to fight there. And when the wardline broke and took someone you love, you stopped waiting behind the walls.
Nightward runs while you live your life — and gives you real things to do when you pick it back up.
Your fighter holds the line on their own — auto-battle, offline earnings, no check-in anxiety. Tap in for burst attacks when you want your hands on the sword.
Co-op boss fights for up to six. Manual skills, real coordination, and a guaranteed personal drop for every raider — nobody walks home empty-handed.
Push the wardline outward region by region. Every push grows the Cradle — new ground, new buildings, new survivors. Decorate the home you're fighting for.
No pay-for-power. No energy gates. Ever.
Pre-register and everyone unlocks these at launch — the more who stand the wardline, the more we all carry home.
All rewards are cosmetic — the promise holds even here.
Closed beta first — wardline members get invited in waves. Launch follows when the beta proves the game is fun and fair. No fake dates; when we set one, it'll be one we can keep.
iOS and Android, portrait, one-hand playable. Built in Godot.
Free to download and play to the end. Money buys cosmetics for your character and your corner of the Cradle, a season pass, and mild time-savers — never stats, never access.
Yes. Your fighter holds the line while the app is closed and you collect the earnings when you return. No login streaks, no daily-quest guilt.
No PvP — the only enemy is the Hollow. Raid leaderboards (fastest boss clears, cleanest runs) come post-launch, for bragging rights and cosmetic trim only. Nothing on a leaderboard can be bought.
