Nightforge Arcade — play raw, discover deep
An atmospheric, curator-driven arcade built for short rituals and long obsessions. Jump into daily quests, spectate high-stakes runs, or craft your own micro-challenges. No friction. Pure play.
Core pillars — what makes it feel alive
Small loops, big payoff. We center curiosity with real-time HUDs, drop-in events, and maker tools so every play session can be personal or public on a whim.
Curated Rotations
Weekly showcases spotlight unique indie runs, remixes, and secret modifiers that shift how a game reads.
Arcade HUD
A lightweight overlay tracks streaks, badges, and ephemeral objectives without breaking immersion.
Creator Tools
Design micro-missions in minutes and seed community tournaments with simple rules and visual flair.
