What is 99 Nights In The Forest?
99 Nights In The Forest is a 3D survival game set deep in a dark forest. The rules are simple and tough: survive 99 nights. During the day you explore, gather food and materials, and build. At night the forest turns hostile — wild animals and enemies come out, and every night they are stronger than the one before.

Survival tips
- Use daylight well. Daytime is for gathering. Collect wood, food and materials before you do anything else.
- Fire first. A campfire and a shelter make the first nights far easier. Build them before dark.
- Keep your bag organised. Drop (G) items you don't need so there is room for what keeps you alive.
- Prepare for tomorrow tonight. Enemies get stronger every night, so a defence that worked on night 3 may fail on night 10. Keep upgrading.
- Stay near your base after dark. Exploring at night is the quickest way to end a run.
Can you last all 99?
Most players don't make it on their first try — and that is the fun. Each run teaches you a better plan. For more games about building and staying alive, check our Adventure Games.
