Nocturnal is an action game where you play as Ardeshir, a soldier of the Enduring Flame, returning to his homeland, Nahran, after many years of absence.
Following the appearance of a mysterious Mist, the island has recently fallen into chaos, and Ardeshir must wield his flaming sword and use powerful abilities to confront its mysteries and free Nahran.
Repel a dynamically generated Mist that reacts to the flames of your sword.
Carry your flames across Nahran: your blade can also ignite the environment, activate mechanisms, and even destroy creatures born from the Mist.
Defeat enemies and explore the environment to collect ash, which can be offered to Phoenix statues. You'll gain new skills and bonuses vital for your survival.
Explore a compact island offering a streamlined experience centered around a singular concept. (game length: around 3 hours)
short fun game, looking forward to second one
Beautifully crafted indie from a tiny team, with striking visuals and a strong fire vs. mist theme. The flaming sword mechanic keeps gameplay fast and urgent, and combat feels polished with just enough variety for its short length (about 2.5 hours). Bosses aren’t too tough but still satisfying, and upgrades give a nice sense of progression. It’s definitely on the short side, feels like it wants to be a bigger metroidvania, but without the budget for it. The atmosphere, art, and gameplay are memorable. Best played on OLED, where the fire and lighting truly shine. A great one afternoon indie that proves small studios can deliver quality.
