The essential, comprehensive companion to your survival in the roguelike Cataclysm: Bright Nights.
Whether you're calculating the exact nutritional value of a tainted kidney or optimizing your bionic array for laboratory infiltration, the Guide has everything you need to survive (and thrive) in the post-apocalypse.
The Guide is designed to be the ultimate reference for every survivor, from fresh spawns to seasoned veterans.
- 🔍 Power Search: Find items, recipes, monsters, and bionics at terminal velocity. Search through thousands of entries instantly.
- 🎨 Visual Identification: Full support for popular tilesets including UltiCa, UndeadPeople, RetroDays, and more. See exactly what's lurking in the dark.
