OverNight is an RPG about escapism, coming of age and queer themes. You play as a young boy that finds himself in a world that seems to have big plans for him.

About----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

In OverNight you play as a young boy who gets woken up by a strange light from outside his bedroom window. Of course he goes out to investigate, but he soon finds he might have bitten off more than he can chew. 

He gets transported to a world full of strange creatures, friendly and not so friendly residents and a big quest he gets shoehorned into. He learns about friendship, hardship, love and what it means to grow up.

This is a demo, showing only the beginning of the full game. It's intended to show off the writing style and general vibe of what the full game would be.


Note from developer-----------------------------------------------------------------

I wanted to make a game that focusses on the feeling everyone has had at least once, escapism. As a kid I used to imagine getting whisked away to another world where I was a better version of myself, where I had no responsibilities and where I could be completely myself. 

I got inspired by Undertale, Earthbound, Pokémon LeafGreen and Gameboy Advance Graphics.

Really loved this promising little demo. Cute graphics, a nostalgic atmosphere and I'm looking forward to seeing a full release. Just one thing, I ran into a bug where the game would just freeze during dialogue, forcing me to restart the game. It happened twice:

1) when the player character left his room and commented on how chilly the air was

2) when the player interacted with the fridge in the axeman's house

Ah thank you so much for the feedback!

This demo is real neat. I love the music especially and how lively the town is. I can't wait to see the full build!

Thank you so much!! The music is by failpositiv

Really cool introduction, the characters are wacky & lovable, the visuals are great... I can't wait to see more of the world & more challenges, maybe bosses, or the King's soldiers. :)

Alright so! This game!!

  1. It's visually stunning, with fun animation and fantastic pixel art;
  2. Utterly charming, the dialogue alone is both intriguing and humorous;
  3. Puzzle's and quests are well designed & executed;
  4. Lore? Neat!

I genuinely had a really good time playing this & am so proud of the creator for creating this dynamic and polished game. 10/10 lukewarm energy drinks.

Thank you so muchhhhhhhh

Wow! I've been watching this since I found it on Twitter at around late December of last year, and this did not disappoint! This was such a treat! It was honestly everything i hoped the demo would be! A short yet sweet experience with great world-building that leaves the player wanting more, a beautiful soundtrack that compliments the brilliant environments full of creativity and life, and charming artwork that is just brimming with life! My favorites are the really wholesome couple at their picnic, and Glitched Woods looks phenomenal! It's honestly my favorite area and I cannot wait to go back there when the time comes in the actual game! The music is perfect and the colors work really well together! If there's a way to find the OST on YouTube, please let me know! As for ways to improve, the only thing is that there were a few minor grammatical errors that could be fixed, and as a more personal thing, I'd love to see what the combat of this game is like!!! I love how this demo was just to get the vibe of the project down, and how wonderful this is! I am really intrigued by the story that was set up, this was a phenomenal job. Congratulations on releasing the demo for OverNight, and I look forward to seeing more! (ノ◕ヮ◕)ノ*:・゚✧

Thank you so much!!

Very cute demo for a super promising project! The art, writing, and music are extremely charming! The demo gives players a taste of world-building, exploration, and puzzle solving, plus loads of quirky narrative beats! It's easy to see that this project is off to a great start, and is growing in a really cool direction.

Thankss

For anyone who thinks this demo looks interesting and is considering giving it a try, I highly recommend you do! I had so much fun playing. The world and its history were really interesting and the characters were full of charm. I can't wait to see more!

Thanks so much for the nice comment!
