NOCTIVAGA

Solve the grid. Dodge the beat. Get the waifus. Save both worlds.

NOCTIVAGA is a fast, tile-based puzzle game blending strategic movement, rhythm mechanics, and gothic rave aesthetics. Navigate grid-based levels, fill void tiles with Tetris-style pieces, and outsmart enemies pulsing to a relentless EDM soundtrack.

You are a grizzled caretaker, tired of the war between vampires and humans when an exiled vampiress has just knocked on your door asking for a truce. Her own generals have turned against her. Your mission: infiltrate the castle, take back the throne, and recruit a gang of dangerous, vampire waifus one puzzle at a time.

It's HellTaker meets Crypt of the NecroDancer, soaked in blood and betrayal.
