Temple of Endless Night

[i][u][b]Temple of Endless Night[/b][/u][/i] is an interactive novel written by [i][u][b]Dariel Ivalyen[/b][/u][/i]. You play as a young person from Ancient Egypt who is asked to go to a mysterious temple that no one seems to know about. Once there, supernatural things start happening and you find yourself trapped inside. Play as male, female or nonbinary. Pick your sexuality, skills and diety. Very early on in the [i][u][b]story,[/b][/u][/i] you are told to make a choice that feels very weighted. The text stresses that you have only one chance to pick what you want to do. This wouldn't be entirely abnormal, especially if it were offered to you at a later point. The problem here is that it's thrown at you with next to no information about the world, the character involved in sed decision or the general situation of things. It felt a bit like popping out a baby and demanding they pick their future profession right there. Does this choice actually matter? Yeah, kinda. It unlocks/blocks you from an entire route, that you wouldn't know about otherwise. A far more vague version of this happens shortly after. Picking one "wrong" answer will lock you out of another route without warning…

Embark on a journey to a magical Egyptian era (literally magical in this case) where you find yourself venturing into the unknown... well, a temple... an obscure temple with a caravan route. Five minutes in, you begin to suspect something fishy is going on. Within ten more minutes, it's apparent that the author harbors some Lovecraftian interests, which is quite fascinating. Few games of this type attempt to weave a narrative of mystery and horror, and it’s not an easy feat. However, here comes the downside: the sanity system. Although it seems like a good idea, I've read that others had issues with it, which I personally didn't experience. Nonetheless, I felt bombarded with too many queries about my feelings, influencing my gameplay. Could it be improved? Certainly. The game is enjoyable because of its unique theme, the convoluted story that exceeds expectations, and its distinctiveness. Once immersed, you can often predict the direction of the narrative, sometimes accurately and sometimes not. So, would I buy it again if I could go back in time? Yes. Do I wish the sanity system were different? Absolutely. The game/book is packed with innovative ideas. Some aspects could be better…

“Temple of Endless Night” is a short interactive novel with an intriguing premise and a story that held my attention years ago, but my one-line review did not do it justice, so here I am giving it a once-over. The one thing that truly frustrated me when I first read the game was how the narrative moves quickly enough that relationships and character dynamics sometimes feel underdeveloped, creating moments where emotional beats arrive before the groundwork has been laid or even considered. In a genre that thrives on immersion and connection, that kind of pacing can make interactions feel abrupt or unearned. That said, the writing itself is engaging, and I never once considered putting it down before finishing. The setting has a strong sense of atmosphere. The choices offer a reasonable amount of agency for a story of this length, and the central mystery is compelling enough to carry the experience. It’s the kind of game that feels like it could have been excellent with more room to breathe, more time with the characters, more space for tension to build, more opportunities for the world to unfold. And wanting more of something because you liked it is rarely a bad thing. As it stan…

Im giving a downvote not because of any open flaw, but because the game gave me two impressions: generic and boring. There are enough choices and consequences, but not one of the characters left a lasting impression, the plot just kind of went along and failed to engage me (it also failed to create tension or at least a horror ambiente, wich could have worked) and in the end i was kind of wondering if that was all. Probably good as your first choice of games game, not so good if you have allready experience.

一个魔幻埃及背景下的故事，主角可以扮演歌手、学者、雇佣兵、炼金术士等角色，探索一个古代神庙背后的秘密。 总体上感觉不错，读起来也比较顺畅，故事情节容易理解，有些内容需要走不同路线多次通关才能知晓。 个人感觉有一些缺点，就是当我们的mc扮演不同职业或者走不同角色的浪漫路线时，他们的内容比较雷同，更多时候只是换了换名词和名字，和不同角色的互动完全可以更细化一些，或者更深入刻画一下角色，现在给我的感觉就是基本上只是换了名字，受到不同神明庇护的情况下也是如此。 如果你希望不用花太多时间感受一个充满异域风情的完整故事，那这款互动小说是一个不错的选择。 以上。 我的英语很烂，下面是翻译软件翻译的评论。 My English is very poor, below is the translation software translation of the comments. A magical Egypt under the background of the story, you can play as a singer, a scholar, a mercenaries, an alchemist and so on, to explore the secret behind an ancient temple. Overall feeling is good and smoothly, the story is easy to understand, some content need to take different routes and take some times of playthroughs. The individual feels has some shortcomings, is that when our MC plays as different occupations or goes different roles and romantic way, their content is the same, just changed the nouns and the names, and the interaction of different roles can be more detailed, completely or further depict the characters, now give me the feeling is just basically changed the name, by different gods asylum is almost the same way. If you want to need not spend too much time to feel a full story full…
