The BBC has released its first online multiplayer game that it says has been designed “with safety at its heart”.
Nightfall, which is available via app stores and the BBC website, was produced for BBC Children’s by independent games studio Goodboy Digital, who have previously worked with the BBC on apps like CBeebies Get Creative and games like Doctor Who Time Vortex VR.
Based on an original IP, Nightfall begins with players falling asleep and entering a dream world. There they become Nightfallers, working together with fellow gamers to fight off the enemy characters – Nags and Nightmares – who threaten their dreams.
