About Night of the Extinct

Night of the Extinct is a free mascot-horror game from Silvercity Sharks and artist ArtOfGerald: you are Elliot, a mid-2010s paranormal YouTuber spending the night in a paleontology museum where Kiona the sabertooth hunts you between exhibits. The Android port arrived in early 2026 with ads and no purchases, on Android 9 or newer; there is no iOS version. It is short — 30 minutes to two hours — and the enemy AI is the main complaint on Steam.

Night of the Extinct Review: A Free Museum Night That Ends Too Soon

Elliot, Kiona and a Museum With Real Exhibit Labels

You play Elliot, a mid-2010s paranormal content creator who has challenged himself to stay overnight at the National Museum of Paleontology, filming as he goes. The exhibits come alive after dark, and the one that matters is Kiona, a sabertooth who stalks the halls while friendlier creatures talk your ear off. Progress is physical: security checks are passed with physics — doors opened with a tool, pots dragged onto pressure plates — plus a few collected items, a sleeping guard named Hank to sneak past and two puzzles. The exhibits carry real descriptions, which a January 2026 Steam reviewer with four votes says were his favourite part. Rooms cover the Holocene, Pleistocene and Pliocene, and a May 2026 reviewer with seven hours asks for the rest of the Cenozoic in a sequel. There is voice acting throughout, 13 languages including Ukrainian, and ten achievements on Steam.

Mostly Positive on Steam, With the AI as the Argument

The Steam release of October 24, 2025 sits at Mostly Positive — 79 of 104 English reviews recommend it, 184 reviews in all. The praise is consistent: creature designs, live voice work, humour, and the price. The negatives are about the same thing every time. A May 2026 review with six votes puts it in one line: characters are fine, the AI sucks; a February 2026 review with five votes notes Kiona's sight is so bad you can hide behind a cutout you are carrying, while a June 2026 player says she spots you through transparent glass and turns 360 degrees instantly. Props clip through floors — a September 2026 reviewer restarted several times, and a December 2025 one softlocked carrying an object into a new area. Length is the other complaint: one segment of four or five levels, an ending that feels abrupt, and a Steam thread asking whether the game is dead.

Free With Ads on Android, No iOS, and a Touch Bug in Arnold's Room

The mobile port is by SNIker, Ioan Măgurean's studio in Romania, and Silvercity Sharks announced it themselves with an Out Now on Google Play trailer, so it is the official Android version. It is free with an advertising badge and no in-app purchases — the Steam version has neither — and Google's data-safety card declares nothing collected and nothing shared. Version 1.0.2, a small UI update, dates from February 7, 2026, on Android 9 or newer, rated Teen for mild violence; the listing does not state a size. Eight months in it shows 10,000-plus installs and 230 ratings at 4.4. The written reviews are few. The most-voted, from January 2026, calls the pressure-plate door scene the hardest part and asks for it to be simplified; an April 2026 review reports the interaction button stops working in the room with Arnold. There is no App Store version, and no word of one.

Verdict

A 6.1: a charming, voice-acted museum night that costs nothing and is over in an hour, hunted by a sabertooth whose AI is the thing players argue about. Take it if you like mascot horror with humour and can forgive clipping props. Skip it if you want a stalker that behaves consistently, more than one chapter, or an iPhone version.

Gameplay6Sneaking, fetching and two puzzles in a museum with personality; the stalker's inconsistent AI undercuts the tension.

Controls5Physics security checks are the hardest scene on a phone, and one review reports the interact button dying in Arnold's room.

Replay value4A single chapter that ends abruptly; nothing to return for beyond the Steam achievements.

Graphics & sound7Cartoon creatures by ArtOfGerald and live voice work praised on Steam; the environments called empty or plain by several.

Monetisation8Free on both platforms; the Android port adds ads but no shop and collects no data.

Frequently asked questions

Can you play Night of the Extinct offline?

The store pages do not state it, but nothing in the game needs a server: it is a single-player story with no accounts, no multiplayer and no data collected per Google's card. Only the ads need a connection. Treat it as playable offline after the first launch and check on your own device.

Is Night of the Extinct free?

Yes, on both platforms. The Steam release is free with no ads or purchases; the Android port is free with an advertising badge and no in-app purchases listed. There is no paid unlock and no currency. The only spending tied to the game is a Makeship plush of Kiona the sabertooth that Silvercity Sharks promoted on X.

What phone do you need for Night of the Extinct?

Android 9 or newer; Google Play does not state a download size, and the PC version's only stated requirement is Windows 10 with DirectX 11, so it is not demanding. There is no iPhone or iPad version. If you have a Windows PC, the Steam build is the same game without ads and with ten achievements.

Can you play Night of the Extinct with friends?

No. It is a single-player game: one content creator, one museum, one night. A March 2026 Steam reviewer asked for multiplayer and Workshop support and neither has been added, and a Play review claiming multiplayer is mistaken. The social part is watching the full-game videos, which run 15 to 35 minutes.

How long is Night of the Extinct?

Between 30 minutes and two hours. A February 2026 Steam reviewer calls it good for 30 minutes; a June 2026 one puts two full playthroughs at 1.0 to 1.5 hours; a slower player took about two hours. Mobile full-game videos run 15 to 35 minutes. Steam reviewers ask for a chapter 2; none is announced.
