"Only those who save themselves can reach salvation."
Take command of the enigmatic starship Nightwatch as its young captain, and plunge with a crew of clashing temperaments and tangled pasts into the strife consuming the galaxy.
To hunt the enemy who destroyed your homeland, you'll set foot in the Crossroads — a civilization sphere mired in civil war, a fading, rotting sector where opportunity and peril go hand in hand — and dig for the truth.
This is the narrow seam between contending great powers, and the place where the conspiracies that steer humanity's fate spread their reach.
Turn every resource to your advantage. Build trust; guard against betrayal.
Hold your crew together, take on ever-stronger foes, and earn your glimpse of the truth — and the power to take your revenge.
In a far future fraught with danger, end the curse, and write a story of your own.
【A Narrative-Driven RPG】 A wealth of story events and writing, and a choice system that branches into widely different outcomes. Dice rolls resolved against your character's attributes, optional growth paths, and attribute points shared across both combat and story. Weigh every choice with care — what looks like a reward may be a fatal danger. You won't always need force to settle a conflict; and the truth is rarely simple, or harmless.
【Rich Environments — a Magnificent, Uncanny Interstellar Stage】 Rendered in hand-painted 2D art, the game spans several worlds and more than twenty regional maps — from tranquil frontier worlds, to super-civilizations gilded on the surface, to artificial planets where wonder and desolation sit side by side. Every stage is dense with events, characters, and a distinct weight of history.
【Challenging Turn-Based Tactical Combat】 Battles use a turn-based tactics system built on radius-based resolution, compressing each engagement's footprint to heighten its pace and intensity. You'll face dangerous enemies, and the key to victory is using the terrain and the mechanics to choke off their chances to act. The Nightwatch backs you with supporting fire and a powerful special ability — Convergence — letting you press the attack to build toward a single, game-turning blow. Wield a wide array of "meme" skills to disrupt your enemies' actions, defuse danger, and overcome the strong.
【Companions & the Journey】 Meet seven companions who join the adventure, unlock their unique abilities, forge bonds, and explore their tangled pasts and inner worlds.
【Build Your Warship】 The Nightwatch has eight upgradeable sections, along with a host of functions and support skills. Gather resources through exploration and trade to upgrade your "combat platform," making this legendary ship your solid backing — and a haven to come home to.
【An Interstellar Saga Beneath the Evernight】 Through the stories of Qiu Wu, Midori, and Marsille, delve into a vast and ancient interstellar society. This is a cruel, mottled universe where history does not climb in a straight line, and where humanity — like all intelligent life — acts out of interest, not righteousness. To see your convictions through, you must hold the power to survive and to contend. Break a curse a thousand years in the making, or become its footnote — it all comes down to your choices.
