Press release:
BRISTOL, UK – April 17, 2023.
The Bristol-based (the UK) indie games publisher Yogscast Games and Cambridge-based (the UK) indie games developer Noisy Head Games (Steve Hollis), are today very thrilled and glad to announce that their twin-stick time loop adventure/roguelike “Beyond the Long Night“, is now available for PC via Steam.

Nominated as a finalist at Develop:Brighton 2022’s Indie Showcase and created by former folks from Frontier Developments, Beyond the Long Night whisks players off on an enchanting adventure through the Dark Mountain.

Discover the Dark Mountain’s secrets and learn more about the world in each run, solving puzzles and befriending mountain folk on your journey to outrun a deadly storm and escape to the Overworld beyond. Uncover a trail of mysteries, complete side quests and discover secrets across multiple runs, all while acquiring, stacking and combining countless powers & upgrades to defeat the Dark Mountain’s dangerous foes.

GAME FEATURES:

A charming single-player adventure set in a world caught within a time loop.
Shoot, dodge, throw items and use superpowers to fight your way through the Dark Mountain. All upgrades are infinitely stackable and combine with each other to create chaotic combinations.
Outrun a deadly storm that spreads from chamber to chamber, chasing you up the mountain.
A colourful cast of charming characters who remember you between runs.
Discover puzzles and secrets scattered throughout the world.
Randomly generated maps built from individually handcrafted rooms.
A killer soundtrack inspired by retro chip tune but with a modern twist.
The bunting has physics.
Motivational cows?!

“I’m incredibly excited to see players dive into the world of Beyond the Long Night,” said Steve Hollis, Founder & Lead Developer at Noisy Head Games.

“We’ve been on this journey for over three years now, and for a lot of that time we’ve been developing in the public eye with demos, playtests and a Kickstarter. But there’s a whole side to the game that has barely been seen up until now. It gets pretty wild at points, and I can’t wait to hear about the first people uncovering the secrets of the mountain.

“Also, I’d like to say a quick thank you to our Kickstarter backers,” Hollis continued.

“We genuinely couldn’t have made this game without you, and I’m humbled that you believed in us.”

Beyond the Long Night is available today on Steam for £14.99 GBP / $17.99 USD / €17.99 EUR, with an additional 20% launch discount available for a limited time. For the latest news and updates on the game, follow @NoisyHeadGames on Twitter or join the discussion on Discord.
