About One Night

Can you survive the horrors of the Complex?

First released in 2009, One Night is a survival horror game that combines the gameplay of Playstation-era classics such as Resident Evil and Parasite Eve with a 16-bit aesthetic inspired by modern indie games. At long last, this RPG Maker classic comes to Steam as One Night: Ultimate Edition, updated with a brand new engine, overhauled gameplay mechanics and a completely rewritten storyline.

Set in an alternate version of the year 2012, One Night challenges you to escape from a top-secret research facility known only as "The Complex", a place fallen to forces that defy explanation. Everybody you knew is dead, and something has gone terribly wrong. Now relentless monsters and fiendish puzzles await you around every corner as you attempt to make your escape from a literal Hell on Earth.

Traditional survival horror gameplay in the style of 90s classics.
Terrifying story that blends science fiction with H.P Lovecraft.
Multiple endings and NPCs that live or die based on your actions.
Updated for modern configurations and operating systems.
Completely free to play!

✦ AI summary

Players praise One Night for its atmospheric tension, engaging horror experience, and impressive quality for a free game, with particular appreciation for the psychological depth and strong sense of dread throughout. However, the main criticism is the lack of a map system, which combined with slow movement, respawning enemies, and visually similar environments makes navigation frustrating and tedious, though some note the short 2-hour playtime helps offset these issues.

Игра "One Night" — это атмосферный психологический тренажер для компании. Простые правила, но глубокая стратегия: каждый игрок выбирает роль (лесник, охотник, волк), пытаясь выжить в условиях мрака. Атмосфера напряжения и подозрений создает захватывающий опыт, особенно при наличии жестоких волков. Игра идеальна для вечеринок, но требует внимания к деталям и умения манипулировать эмоциями. Минус — короткая продолжительность, но это делает её идеальной для быстрой партии. Рекомендую для любителей квестов и социальных игр.

This game is an absolute recommendation for anyone who likes horror games. I've played One Night multiple times over the years and I realised that I start to miss it as time passes. This game is an absolute must-play for any fan of the RPG Maker games. While some things don't hold up as well as they did many years ago, there's passion in this game that is rarely seen nowadays. One Night has unbeatable atmosphere and it's exactly that atmosphere that carries the entire game. Exploring the station feels tense and evading the monsters becomes increasingly difficult the further you go. While I did notice some minor hiccups and bugs through my playthrough, nothing really took me away from this wonderful experience. Overall, for a free game that takes only 2 hours to beat, you owe it to yourself to play One Night. It's a special experience.
