Does Nightingale offer open-world gameplay?

Without question, Nightingale is an open-world game, but not in the usual sense. Players have the opportunity to visit countless procedural worlds, making it reasonable to suggest that it is an open-world game that allows them to travel to many different locations.

Set in the Victorian Age, the game will use procedurally generated worlds and a roguelite card system termed "Realm Cards," through which players can alter their destinations before they embark on traveling across Portals in different Fae Realms. Realm Cards not only affect your destination but also the creatures you encounter, the resources you collect, the climate, and much more.

Furthermore, players will be able to explore the realm of Fae from a first-person point of view. The game developers have stated that they have created an “online shared-world realmscape” so that players do not have to stay on one particular map but can move from realm to realm through magic portals.

Some of the different gameplay elements include resource gathering, crafting, cooking, fishing, and PvE combat against foes, as well as massive boss battles.
