The afterlife is now digital. Discover that eternal life comes with sacrifice in a genre-defying RPG with unique rhythm combat.
Nocturne
SteamHumanity is gone. Only the Digital Afterlife remains, silent for a thousand years.
Until now.

Nocturne’s rich narrative will leave you questioning what it means to be alive, while you traverse a beautiful world that’s falling apart around you.

Nocturne features an entirely skill based rhythm combat system. With six difficulty options, Nocturne is suitable for beginners and veterans of the rhythm genre.

Battle a huge variety of enemies and bosses with unique mechanics and unexpected twists.
Time your attacks to land critical hits, but miss too many notes and enemies will attack you back.

Nocturne features all the traditional RPG systems, from leveling and stats, to items, equipment, shops, cutscenes, bosses, exploration, and secrets.

Beat enemies to unlock them in Arcade Mode, where you can replay any of Nocturne’s 101 original tracks, and go for new highscores.

All boss music was recorded live by the Slovak National Symphony Orchestra.
