Cataclysm: Bright Nights is an open-source turn-based roguelike survival game set in a procedurally generated post-apocalyptic world, forked from Cataclysm: Dark Days Ahead. It is written in C++ with JSON and Lua modding support and ships with a community mod registry.

Use cases

• play a post-apocalyptic zombie survival roguelike
• survive in a procedurally generated open world with vehicles and crafting
• create custom mods using JSON and Lua
• contribute to an open-source C++ game engine
• find and install third-party mods from a mod registry
• play a deep turn-based survival game on Linux, Windows, or macOS

When to choose

• you want an actively maintained fork of Cataclysm: DDA with its own feature direction
• you want a free, open-source, deeply complex survival roguelike
• you want to mod a game via JSON and Lua with good documentation
• you prefer stable release cadence plus experimental builds

When to avoid

• you want a graphical action game rather than a tile/ASCII turn-based roguelike
• you want a lightweight, quick-to-learn game
• you rely on third-party launchers, which are unsupported
• you need a game under a standard OSI license (license is non-standard)
