Nightclaw (DEMO)

🌙 Nightclaw - Demo Version

Nightclaw is a minimalist pixel art strategy game where you must survive each night by building, managing, and protecting your small settlement — without ever swinging a sword yourself.

Drop Coins to Build  

During the day, you can drop coins on environmental objects to turn them into buildable structures. You won't know exactly what each structure is until you try — experimentation is part of discovery.

No Combat — Only Command  

Your character has no attack abilities. Instead, you’ll find wandering NPCs throughout the world.  

Give them a coin to recruit them into your growing settlement:

• Builders construct or upgrade buildings you’ve marked with coins.  
• Archers defend your settlement from mysterious threats that arrive at night.

Every Coin Counts  

Each decision matters. Use your limited resources wisely.  

By day, prepare.  

By night, survive.

Pixel Art Style  

The entire game is crafted in a simple, clean pixel art aesthetic, focusing on clarity and charm over complexity.

Solo Developer  

This project is being developed solo with care and love.  

Note: The game is still in development and will have many more features than the current version.

Controls

Left arrow --> Go left

Right arrow --> Go right

Down arrow --> Drop money

Press the right and left arrows 2 times quickly and the character will run.

The game still has bugs. It will be fixed over time. If you find bugs, I would appreciate it if you write in the comments section. <3

💡 Microsoft Defender SmartScreen may issue a warning. This is because the game is new and not recognized. You can continue by clicking “More Info” on the warning screen and clicking “Run anyway”. My game does not contain any malware.

ENJOY!

More coming soon...
