About One Night 2: The Beyond

The oldest and strongest emotion of mankind is fear.



One Night 2: The Beyond is the highly acclaimed sequel to the original RPG Maker survival horror classic, first released in 2010. Now available on Steam for the first time, the Ultimate Edition of this terrifying tale comes complete with an updated engine, a brand new soundtrack, overhauled gameplay and a greatly expanded story.

Set almost thirty years before the original game, One Night 2 is a Lovecraftian horror adventure game where you must solve the mystery of Mairstone Manor, a house under the control of an ancient, malevolent evil, and discover the origins of the horror. As eldritch creatures stop at nothing to claim your soul and relentless puzzles bar your progress, it's going to take every ounce of grit and determination you can muster in order to stay alive.
  • Terrifying survival horror gameplay inspired by Alone In The Dark and Fatal Frame.
  • A horrific mystery to solve crafted by horror author D. Robert Grixti.
  • Two different characters with multiple endings create an endlessly replayable experience.
  • Updated for modern configurations and operating systems.

Changes from the original release of One Night 2 include:
  • Completely rewritten dialogue and expanded backstory.
  • Revised level design, including brand new rooms, puzzles and hazards.
  • Greatly expanded ending system that subtly tracks your decisions and actions in game.
  • Overhauled gameplay mechanics including unique character abilities, wandering monsters and more!

Again I am a massive jerk, and I am sorry, because this is obv made with love and effort and time and is FREE so by all means go for it if it looks cool to you, but I've played too many cool free horror games that do better to feel good about recommending this. It's a step up from the first in tons of ways. The combat system, while simple, is effective. The game rewards you for searching and offers you two protags to play the game through with differing loadouts and abilities. The scares work and there's greater variety in the locations so it's easier to find your way around. But still, like the first, there is no map. And again it's not that the game is that huge but enough of it blends together that if you ever get stuck and forget exactly where to go or what to do you can get lost easily, and/or be stuck trudging back and forth avoiding the same respawning monsters that move erratically. The other part might just be that I have a smooth brain but the puzzles seem really obtuse and not in a good way. For one the dev really likes math so get ready for that lol, but also some of the locks require entire words and the clues you're given are so clumsily worded it's really hard to u…

One Night 2: The Beyond builds up on every single aspect of the first game. The first One Night was a fantastic experience on its own, however, this sequel blows it out of the water in the opening moments quality-wise. While the atmosphere and the setting are vastly different from the first game, you can feel the same amount of love was put into this one. What's truly impressive is that every single aspect of the game was improved - the combat system is now actually fun, the exploration is even more rewarding and the puzzles are great. Combined with 2 playable characters with 2 different stories, this is a game that can truly be replayed. With its short duration and a free price tag, One Night 2: The Beyond is an absolute must. The world sometimes seems to have forgot what it means to have a sequel done right.

One Night 2: The Beyond is not only a pretty good RPG Maker horror game and resident evil/alone in the dark clone, but it's also a very good sequel to the first game. Now it’s time for the story. Mairstone Manor on the surface it looks like any other old mansion, but this is no ordinary home its nickname is the beyond for anyone who enters there is never to return, with many mysterious deaths and disappearances have happened over the years, now it lays abandoned. But sometimes people do venture not believing the rumors that it is a cursed place and these two people are no different, a Detective searching for a missing person and a horror writer trying to get inspiration. Both venture into the mansion, but what awaits them is something beyond their wildest nightmares. Okay then the likes, the story is very good it has a bit of a lovecraftian feel to it like the previous game, although the story feels a little more inspired by the original alone in the dark then Resident Evil. The story also does a good job in building up the mystery and the tragedy of this place with some cutscenes and collectible notes. You can also play between two different characters with changes the story a l…

[h1]Before I played One Night 2: The Beyond, I had a small pp, no friends, no gf, depression, and no life. These things havent changed, but the game is pretty good[/h1]

After playing One Night, I was happy to see that many of the issues I had with the previous game were fixed in this version. This has been a really fun experience and the story was enthralling! I intend on playing the third in the series as well. Interesting find and am glad to have played these! :) Admittedly I had to look up the solution to the desk combination lock, as I did not assume from the get-go that the lock was 55 digits as opposed to the conventional 40 digits I assumed the combination was for .-.
