99 Nights in the Forest is a survival game set in a remote woodland where the player must endure a fixed number of nights while managing limited resources and avoiding threats. The core gameplay alternates between daytime preparation and nighttime defense. Each cycle presents the player with choices about how to allocate time, whether to focus on exploration, resource gathering, or reinforcing the campsite. The overarching objective is to survive all nights or shorten the duration by completing specific tasks, such as locating missing individuals scattered across the forest.
Daytime Objectives
During the day, players must collect resources necessary for survival. Wood is essential for keeping the campfire active, as it serves as the main line of defense during the night. Food collection supports stamina for exploration and crafting. The forest map contains multiple points of interest where useful materials and clues can be found. Some of these areas are dangerous to reach, requiring players to plan routes carefully and return to camp before dark to avoid exposure to increased threats.
Main Gameplay Tasks
Players spend most of their time completing activities such as:
- gathering firewood and food supplies
- crafting and repairing tools
- exploring the map for hidden items
- locating missing children
- maintaining safety through fire management
These tasks form the foundation of the survival process and determine the player’s chances of progressing through all nights.
Nighttime Survival
When night falls, the environment becomes hazardous. The primary danger comes from a roaming creature that reacts to movement and sound. Staying near the campfire is the safest choice, but wood burns quickly and must be replenished. Some nights feature additional challenges such as adverse weather or limited visibility. While it is possible to leave the campsite during the night, it increases the likelihood of encounters with the creature, making careful planning and risk assessment essential for survival.
Single-Player and Multiplayer
99 Nights in the Forest supports both single-player and multiplayer gameplay. In single-player mode, one person must handle all responsibilities, making time management and resource prioritization critical. Multiplayer allows players to divide tasks, with one focusing on exploration and another on maintaining camp safety. Regardless of mode, the central goal remains the same: survive the set number of nights or reduce them by completing key objectives. Success depends on preparation, strategic decision-making, and the ability to adapt to evolving conditions in the forest.
