Nightwater Reference is an unofficial fan-built launch hub for Nightwater (Steam AppID 3983860). Every fact is dated to 2026-09-16, sourced from the official Steam store page or Steam-published news, and re-verified against the live store at the research date.
Mission
Help English-language launch-window readers decide whether Nightwater is for them, when and where to play it on PC Steam, and what the four-era factory loop and lighthouse endings add up to. The hub covers identity, release date, system requirements, platforms, price, gameplay loop, official Steam news, and FAQ — all anchored to the official Steam store page for AppID 3983860.
Sourcing
Use only the official Steam store page for AppID 3983860 and Steam-published news (https://store.steampowered.com/news/app/3983860) to set current-game hard facts (release date, developer, publisher, genre, system requirements, platforms, era names, Manifestor, lighthouse endings). Any unannounced item (price, hour-of-release, edition structure, demo, multiplayer, macOS, Linux, Steam Deck verified status) is written as a dated not-announced statement rather than as a placeholder or TBD.
Editorial rules
All facts are dated to the research date 2026-09-16. No speculation, no third-party recap posts, no copy from other fan sites. The site never uses the Studio Ashty wordmark or the Irox Games marks; brand presentation relies on the text brand mark and the approved dark theme palette only.
