I had an extremely busy day yesterday and didn’t remember to post until about 11 PM, so I decided to skip a day. I was almost too busy to post today, too! Good thing I’m not tying myself to a daily posting schedule. 😅
Nightingale is a new MMO that’s still in early access. You play a person from the early 1900s who passes through a portal into the Fae Realms. I forget what’s happening on Earth, but some sort of ominous fog called “The Pale” or something is spreading across Paris, forcing you and a bunch of other explorers to travel through the portal to escape it. And then you find yourself trapped in the lands of the Fae.
A fae named Puck offers you assistance in finding a safe realm to visit and gives you a card that helps you cleanse the realm so its inhabitable. Knowing what I know from stories of the fae, I was very hesitant to trust him, but the game doesn’t really give you any alternatives. So… into the Fae Realms we go!
From there, the game is an open world crafting game, kind of like Enshrouded. You learn how to craft tools, defenses, houses, etc. You can make extravagant fantasy homes, or just rudimentary structures to keep you safe. There are all sorts of things to explore in the world, too. Plenty of questing, discoveries, enemies to fight, other humans to interact and trade with, etc.
The screenshot at the top of this post was taken after cleansing my first realm. Below, you can see a couple shots of what it looked like when I first arrived there. It was dark and dreary, with an “enraged sky.”
Also, here’s a look at my custom character and her inventory and stats.
I’ve only played a couple hours of it so far, but it’s been unique and enjoyable. I hope it only gets better as it nears a full release date.
