The demo for Beyond the Long Night is just about 1 month old now, and to celebrate I've released the first major update. It's aimed at improving the replayability of the demo after you complete the demo for the first time, by adding two new game modes, a journal to track you progress, and achievements, known in game as Challenges.

Beyond the Long Night is launching a Kickstarter Q1 2022. If you'd like to support development, please sign up here:    https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/noisyheadgames/beyond-the-long-night

New Features

• Added One Health mode - you start with one health and cannot gain anymore. Unlocks after completing the demo for the first time.
