What is 99 Nights in the Forest - Crafting

Endure the mysterious forest night by night in this arcade-style survival crafting game. Gather, build, and outsmart the darkness across 99 increasingly tough challenges.

How to Play

Tips for Playing

Prioritize a basic shelter before nightfall on day one to avoid early damage.
Keep a steady stock of wood—it's the most versatile resource for tools and repairs.
Craft better tools first; they speed up gathering and make every day more productive.
Explore further from your base only when your inventory is light and your defenses are solid.
Repair your shelter's walls before they break completely to avoid costly rebuilds.
