I can't reveal too much about the storyline.
The story of this game is similar to life - the longer you live the more you know about it, or at least you can allow yourself to make such a conclusion.
Let me present to you the first card from this story deck.
The game begins with the presence of two sisters who live under an unusual, common roof.
One night, the rays of light coming from outside the apartment awakens the older sister.
It turns out that the younger sister disappeared. Escaped? Was she kidnapped?
What was the light of the day in the middle of the night?

What is the truth - and do you need to know it?
Let's get started.

✦ AI summary
Players appreciate this as a genuinely challenging 2D platformer with tight controls and weighty mechanics reminiscent of Dark Souls, backed by beautiful art and music that rewards mastery and persistence. However, common frustrations include instant-death enemies (particularly bees) that feel unfair rather than skill-based, overly complicated controls for basic actions, and performance issues even on modest hardware.
At the time of writing I'm past the first boss. It took me 6 hours cause I've been playing in chunks and doing things with the game minimized inbetween. The fact that the overall score is mostly negative makes no sense to me. This is a good game. And I am highly critical of janky games. NDNN is like Dark Souls. I don't mean in the meme sense that it is hard. I mean that your actions have weight to them and you have to think before you act, and actually put effort in. You can't BS your way through a challenge. A badly timed roll or attack can be severely punished, and that's by design. The game is actually very tight despite the motion tween puppet animation style that has become largely associated with janky 2005-2014 era flash games. I am quick to rage when I perceive a death as unfair or have to deal with unreal engine physics jank that sucks the fun out of a game, because I see it as just the game wasting my time for no good reason or being jank and broken due to careless programming. Not once in this game have I felt that a death was unwarranted. I saw why it happened and it made sense, and when I adjusted my strategy to counter it, it was a simple matter of execution and pati…11 found this helpful
I want to like this game, but the instakill bees are everywhere. It's not fun. Also, why does this game lag so much? I know my computer is a potato, but it should still run a game like this no problem.4 found this helpful

A challenging and sometimes rather frustrating game. However, it is also pretty fun and the sense of achievement you gain from passing each challenge is well worth the struggle. If you like 2D platformers and are a masochist that likes games that could count as a mental form of torture, then you will likely enjoy this game. It's basically 2D dark souls in terms of difficulty (as in you sometimes have to practice over and over to eventually succeed.) Also the art and music in this game are beautiful.1 found this helpful
Complicated controls to do simple things ? Instadeath bees ? Nah.1 found this helpful
Blood, Gore, and Challenging. If you dislike any of those things move on. If you like all 3 you won't be dissapointed, you have a health more for some reason but EVERYTHING!!! one shots you, lol.
