The art director of Nightingale, a game developed using Unreal Engine 5, explains the team's decision to prioritize a stylized 'fantasy gaslamp' aesthetic over hyperrealism, emphasizing the importance of creating a realistic world that reacts truthfully and feels believable. The game's shared-world survival crafting fantasy concept allows players to influence and change the game's Fae Realms in real time using Realm Cards.

Nightingale is set to be released in early access for PC on February 20.
