Welcome explorer. Once more into the long night?
Toot toot! You've found the demo of Beyond the Long Night! Congratulations! Now then, please note:
- This is a condensed version of the game, and only includes the first area (out of three), with a limited set of Upgrades, Superpowers, Characters and Enemies. The final game will have more variety across the board.
- Some aspects of the game have been specifically balanced for the purposes of the demo, such as loot drop rates, map size, etc. The balance will be different in the final game.

Nice one! Glad you enjoyed yourself :D please consider signing up to the Kickstarter prelaunch page if you fancy supporting, or even just on Steam - both help out and are really appreciated :) ta!
What a satisfying experience. I must have sunk over 25 hours into this demo already, its bananas. Replay-ability value is off the charts. Looks like a cute casual game but don't be fooled; it can be challenging. One more amazing game that will sit high on the scale of what makes a great roguelike.
This game is a lot of fun. I like the concept of having to go from the start but improving each time and it works really well in the gameplay setting
Hey! Really glad you enjoyed yourself :) if you're interested, the game is coming to Kickstarter in the near future, and I'd be honoured if you wanted to help support development. Sorry for the shameless plug hehe - either way, super happy you had fun :)
