About We Only Come Out at Night
Who's that Bat?
You are a bat, chosen by the bat tribe to free them from a cave-in. Along the way, you are mistaken for a hero... Or maybe not. Flap your way through puzzles and platforms with JRPG-style combat on your way to the castle to save the world from the Vampire King! In this emotional, story-driven RPG, team up with ghosts, goblins, and moths for an adventure that will show you what it really means to be a hero!A Metroidvania JRPG
Gain new abilities, like echolocation to see in the dark, to unlock new areas and give your platforming more depth. Face down enemies in classic turn-based combat where your party's level and spells will determine whether you survive. Hone your skills as you make your way through puzzles and obstacle courses. Combine your skills to bring strategy in and out of combat. Speak with the tribes of night folk you meet along the way to learn the depths of the tale on which you've embarked.Fun for Everyone!
Streamlined combat, easy controls, and optional areas mean fun for kids and adults, and for those looking for a casual pickup, or a good challenge.
Handcrafted Pixel Art
The handcrafted pixel art is intended to be reminiscent of an Atari 2600. So nestle in for nostalgic comfort with modern flare. Each sprite was drawn frame-by-frame.An Epic Soundtrack
With music ranging from Euro-trance to classical, the soundtrack has been carefully crafted to fit every situation from the most dire to the most emotional. Get lost in swirling strings or a thumping synth bass.Can you become a hero and save the world from the undead nightmare?What Steam players say

This was a great little Metroidvania! A not-too-difficult RPG with a classic vibe that's more centered around delivering the player a fun experience, with an engaging story and an absolute BANGER of a soundtrack. Would definitely recommend this, especially if you're looking to play your first Metroidvania.4 found this helpful
Charming, all ages story with unique gameplay and a GREAT soundtrack. Classic RPG combat against familiar horror/fantasy mainstays will (in addition to XP, gold, etc.) net you rewards in the form of outside-combat powerups that range from a simple dash to blasting lighting or using your echolocation to see in pitch black rooms. One of the least appealing elements of a lot of RPGs is the uneventful down-time between battles. We Only Come Out At Night substitutes just pressing the auto move key for an involved, but not overly-stressful platforming experience that has you solving puzzles, dodging traps and blitzing through a diverse range of Atari style environments full of great effects. Great choince if you're looking for something nostalgic that doesn't take a hundred hours to have a good payoff.3 found this helpful

Some bugs with the game but overall a very fun rpg.1 found this helpful
Great game. A super chill little indie RPG with great pixel art and a fun spooky vibe. Very interesting to play as what would traditionally be an RPG enemy. Combat is simple and fun, exploration is relaxing and is very easy to get lost into. Never felt stressful or grindy. This game feels very cozy and full of personality.1 found this helpful
