The Ramen Noir ledger
How far players have got, one week in
You inherit Thaddeus's noodle bar with about 1,000 lims and a 50,000 debt. Each bar below is the share of all Steam players who have reached that step, taken from the game's achievement unlock rates. The big drop is between one venue and two: a second lease needs a business permit.
- Serve your first customer 86.8%
- 100 customers served 47.3%
- 500 lims in one day 29.4%
- Lease a second venue 16%
- Clear the 50,000 debt 1.9%
- Run five venues 0.8%
Rates pulled from Steam on October 4, 2026, five days after launch. Players who cleared the debt that fast mostly did it with one quest payout, not noodles. How the money actually comes in · The debt and the loan shark
Lowtown, under curfew
What is Nivalis Nights?
Nivalis Nights is a first-person cyberpunk life sim and restaurant management by ION LANDS, the studio behind Cloudpunk, published by 505 Games. It came out on Steam on September 29, 2026 for $24.99. You take over Thaddeus Carminus's noodle bar, Ramen Noir, in Lowtown, along with his 50,000-lim debt, while CorpSec locks the district down over a serial killer called the Aseptic. Days go to cooking and hiring; nights after curfew go to dodging cameras, fishing from your boat or emptying a rival's kitchen. The parts people search for most are staff and managers, fishing, greenhouse farming and romance.
Your first week
From one noodle bar to a second venue
- Day 1: keep the menu to chicken noodle soup plus beer and stock it yourself at Meridian Market. Beginner guide
- Swap tables for bar stools and hire one cook and two or three waiters whose wanted hours match your shifts. Staff guide
- Pick up the free rusty rod from Ady at the Docks and fish the glowing spots. Fishing guide
- Plant the seeds you find in trash bags once Clem opens the greenhouse: one seed per module, ten crops out. Farming guide
- Level the bar, earn a permit, then lease venue two. Keep about 1,000 lims spare before you hire a manager. Money guide

Questions people ask at the counter
Is Nivalis Nights multiplayer or co-op?
No. It is single-player only, and the developers say no multiplayer or co-op features are planned.
How do I make money fast in Nivalis Nights?
Put a drink on every menu, raise prices while seats stay full, grow your own ingredients, and sell your starting apartment furniture. The biggest single payout is the shady-landlord side quest, where clearing the landlord's apartment sells for about 40,000 lims. Full breakdown on the money guide.
Why is my manager not restocking, or spending all my money?
Managers buy every ingredient on your menu and need cash to do it, so keep about 1,000 lims in the bank and keep the menu small. A fridge full of rotten food also blocks restocking. The launch bug where managers placed duplicate orders was patched around October 2.
Who writes this wiki
Nivalis Nights Wiki is a player-written reference for the ION LANDS life sim, started in its first week on Steam. It is for people running Ramen Noir who want the numbers behind fish, staff wages, greenhouses and curfew instead of a vibe. It is not made, approved or paid for by ION LANDS or 505 Games.
- How we verify: Numbers come from the Steam store page, the developer FAQ and known-issues posts, the Steam achievement list with its global unlock rates, and on-screen text in gameplay footage. Player-reported numbers (wages, fines, prices) are only printed when two independent players report the same thing, and are labelled as player reports.
- Update cadence: Every page is rechecked when ION LANDS posts a patch on Steam, and the achievement unlock rates are re-pulled from Steam each week while the game is new.
- What we don't do: No crack or repack links, no save-editor money values passed off as normal play, and no guessed romance or quest outcomes. If we have not confirmed it, the page says so.
