As part of the upcoming Steam Rhythm Fest, running from August 19-25, Nocturne is launching a recharged demo that lets you experience this unique world before the full game release. Preview keys for the demo will be available soon, offering an exclusive chance to dive in before the public launch!

In Nocturne, you awaken in a virtual realm a thousand years after humanity’s extinction on Earth. As you navigate this eerie digital afterlife, you’ll form bonds with a mischievous boy and a giant fish, guiding them through the corrupted remains of humanity’s final resting place. The game’s rhythm-based combat system will have you battling twisted creatures with precision, featuring multiple difficulty modes to match your skill level.

Your journey is not just about survival—it’s about uncovering the mystery behind the world’s downfall before it’s lost forever. Ready to find the beat in this haunting adventure? Don’t miss your chance to experience Nocturne during Steam Rhythm Fest!

In collaboration with Natsume Atari and ININ, and developed by the iconic Japan-based Tengo Project (creators of Pocky and Rocky, Wild Guns, and more), this release is set to impress, especially since many developers from the original game over 30 years ago are involved.
