Night Watch is a tactical role-playing game developed by Nival Interactive and released in 2005 for PC, based on the Russian film of the same name. Set in a world where supernatural beings known as "Others" live hidden among ordinary humanity, the game places players within a centuries-long conflict between two opposing factions. Others possess the ability to channel magical energy into powerful offensive and defensive abilities, and they are divided along ideological lines: the Night Watch serves the forces of light, while the Day Watch fights for darkness. Ordinary humans remain largely unaware of this struggle, often manipulated as unwitting participants. Both factions share the overarching ambition of achieving a decisive victory that would grant dominion over the world. The game blends role-playing progression with tactical combat as players navigate this hidden war between ancient supernatural powers.
