“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.
