A downloadable game

Into the Evernight is a retro-styled, tactical role-playing game with a heavy emphasis on player choice and branching story paths.

  • Turn-based, tactical combat.
    Engage enemies in tactical, RPG-style combat as you try to stop the spreading darkness.
  • Branching story paths.
    The choices you make and actions you take will lead the storyline down very different routes.
  • Evolving game difficulty.
    Into the Evernight's difficulty is not set by a slider in options, but rather by your in-game choices. An easier path forward always exists, but at what cost...?
  • Upgradeable skills and items.
    Customize your squad with over 60 upgradeable skills. Wield weapons and armor that gain in strength not only as they are reinforced, but also as your characters become accustomed to them.
  • Multiple endings.
    How will you stop the spreading darkness? Or will you even be able to? Into the Evernight's ending will entirely depend upon the choices and sacrifices you make along the way.


The sun went out long ago, leaving only darkness. 

And with the darkness, came the shades. Fragments of those that lived before, trapped with nowhere to go.

Humanity huddles together in bustling cities that interrupt the eternal night. They are safe there, beneath the light of the wardstones.

But this age is ending. Few see the signs, but the wardstones are starting to fade. The safety of the wardstones will not last much longer.

Is there a solution, hidden somewhere in the Evernight? No one is brave enough or foolish enough to venture out there.

No one except you.

amazing game! i just wish there was a way to customize controls on the steam release but using a rpgmaker2003 emulator works perfectly. I found out that you made this 5-minutes a day for 20 years, which blows my mind. I hope you keep making experiences like these, can't wait for your future works<3

Thanks a ton!  What are the emulators you're using?  I will recommend this to people if they ask about control remapping!

Yea, it was a very slow grind.  Just kind of log in, do a little bit, finish it up tomorrow.  Next game will hopefully not take 20 years, hah.  Will try and narrow down the scope and length a bit for next time.

i tried to play it on android so i used easyrpg it can emulate 2000 or 2003 rpgmaker games and to all the pc gamers easyrpg is also available on pc

Nice, I didn't realize that EasyRPG allows for key re-binding.  Alright, I've absolutely got to look into this.
