About Noisy Head Games:
Hi! I’m Steve Hollis, and I’m the creator of Beyond the Long Night.

I used to do all sorts of programming and audio related things at Frontier Developments, before working on Beyond the Long Night full time in early 2020. The game is being developed by myself and two sound designers, Ross and Pablo, who I worked with previously at Frontier. That means there are three game audio developers making this game!
