About
Nightlings is a first person, fast-paced survival horror game, where you play as a 10 year old child, left home alone for the weekend while your parents handle a family emergency out of town. Initially thrilled by the freedom, your excitement fades quickly as midnight approaches. Strange, goblin-like creatures from forgotten neighborhood folklore appear outside, intent on breaking into your home to slaughter you.
Your goal? Run, Secure, and Survive. Run around your house, blocking off all entries to secure your home from the Nightlings, and survive the nights until 7 AM.
Each night will get progressively more intense, with more entrances opening up. You'll have to strategize your movements to get to each entrance and block off the Nightlings before it's too late.
Note from the devs.

Reviews
After learning the identity of the developer and creator of this game, and upon reviewing the serious allegations and the evidence surrounding them, I believe the claims to be credible. The actions attributed to him are deeply disturbing, unethical, and inhumane. While my criticism is not directed at the game itself, it is important to distinguish between appreciating creative work and holding individuals accountable for their actions. I sincerely hope that those affected by his conduct receive the support they need and that the community remains mindful and discerning in response to these revelations.
A promising game from some up-and-coming devs! The game is focused mainly on optimisation of your movement and choices of what to do first. I was allowed to stream the game early for my community, and really enjoyed this! Hope to see more from NitroWolf and co!

It's a good game
This game falls short in several key areas. It lacks any real sense of fear or tension, and it feels like the developer didn’t fully commit to creating an immersive horror experience. The lighting is overly bright, with excessive brightness and poorly calibrated shaders that break the atmosphere completely. Overall, the game feels unfinished and would benefit from significant improvements in design, mood, and gameplay mechanics. It needs major revisions and further development to reach its potential.
The game is simple and fun to play but my only issue is the speed. It says there is a run button but the run is the same speed as the "walk". So it makes running from one place to another alot harder than it should it be. https://youtu.be/2f0UlHAxIrk
Depois de jogar as 3 noites, achei o jogo bem divertido, tendo as mecânicas da lareira e de dar os brinquedos na porta deixa o jogo um pouco mais tenso nas ultimas noites, no geral um bom jogo pra passar o tempo.
Nightlings, bir çocuğun en kötü kabuslarının gerçeğe dönüştüğü bir ortamda geçen, birinci şahıs hayatta kalma korku oyunudur. Nightlings'in içeri girmesini engelleyin ve sabaha kadar hayatta kalın. Hayatta kalmanız için 3 geceniz var... bunlar son geceniz olabilir mi?
I really did want to enjoy this game but when i saw the review from someone on the bad stuff the guy has done i really could just not play it anymore.
This game is so boring and repetitive that I want my 12 minutes of life back
I want my 30 minutes back, and a diet dr pepper. all jokes aside congratulations to the dev team
