One Night 2: The Beyond, Psychological horror adventure game. (Released 15/5/2009) Options

[Dark Gaia]

Important! This game is completely standalone. No RPG Maker VX RTP is required to play.



Introduction

The Beyond is a freeware survival horror/adventure game created with RPG Maker VX. It is a psuedo sequel to the game One Night, however the story and locations are unrelated to the previous game and this game serves as a stand alone game.
The Beyond is not a normal RPG Maker game. In The Beyond, you find yourself trapped in a "haunted" mansion known as The Beyond, and are soon under attack by a strange, and evil power. Using your brain and your reflexes, you must think and fight your way to safety, solving puzzles and defeating horrifying enemies to make your escape.
In order to escape the terror, you'll first need to understand the cause of the nightmare. Make sure you collect all the clues so that you can understand the fate that has befallen the mansion. But, be careful. You are always in danger, and it is easy to let the fear overwhelm you. Don't give in to the evil.

Story Outline

Mairstone Manor

Also known as The Beyond, this mansion was built in the early 1950's by renowned ex military general and historian Thomas Mairstone.
It is situated in the rural coal mining town of Black Valley in the isolated midwest. The entire town is isolated, being situated in a remote valley, and sorrounded by acres of dense forest. The locals fear The Beyond, and blame it for several disapearances of townspeople, including the mansion's owners, and bizarre phenomena that has been recently occuring in town.

Black Valley

An isolated midwestern mining town founded in the mid 1800's. The town's mining industry has been inactive since the 1920's due to the mines being closed for an undisclosed reason. Black Valley has a population of only 300, only a small fraction of the 1200 people it housed during the mining era.
Reportedly, Black Valley is a center for paranormal activity, with many bizarre incidents being reported each month.

Characters

Two playable characters are featured in The Beyond, each one playing in a different way and having their own unique reasons for being drawn into the mansion. Each character also has their own unique endings. To see all of the game's endings, you'll need to play through as both characters!

John Faraday

An ex police officer turned private detective. John has been hired to investigate the mysterious disapearance of a group of journalists conducting research on the mansion. John has decided to search for clues in the last place the group were known to have visited, and so heads for The Beyond itself.

Sara Wickson

A horror fiction writer seeking inspiration. It's been a while since Sara wrote a big top seller, so in order to gather material to write her next novel, Sara has decided to spend a night in the infamous mansion known as The Beyond.

Game Features

> True fear will take over as you explore the mansion, uncovering the many secrets it holds. Atmospheric graphics and sounds, combined with some genuine psychological engineering will make you feel the ultimate terror.

> A fantastic challenge awaits you, with fiendish puzzles to solve, horrifying enemies to defeat, and two different characters and four endings to experience.

> Streamlined systems such as a health indicator and custom item usage system help you keep track of notes, clues and items.

> Rivetting, tense combat, using the completely customized Decision Proximity Semi Active Battle system (DPSAB) which allows enemies to deal damage based on the direction they strike from, and allows actions performed outside of battle to affect your battle performance.

[Confederacy]

Yeah it keeps saying it ran out of the free downloads on this server and I need to switch to Filefactory Premium.

[Senapho]

Oh awesome!
A sequel?!
RAWK ON!

[Oceano]

SWEET!
I'm downloading this!

[Dark Gaia]

Yeah, I thought I'd try FileFactory rather than Megaupload, but it doesn't seem to reliable. In any case, the free downloads are back now.

Thanks to everyone for the anticipation and feedback so far, I know this game has been eagerly awaited. I'm uploading to RMN now so there should be a mirror link within 24 hours.

[Dark Gaia]

I've just now set up two mirror links, one to MegaUpload, and one to RMN. The MegaUpload download is ready to go but the RMN one will still need about a day to validate.

[ambrosecool]

Sweet!Will not try yet though..

[Z3R0maker]

I downloaded and finished the game and it is excellent

the story and plot was good and the times that something will just appear out of nowhere
but sadly it can only be played once because you solved all the puzzles in the first place

but i have to admit its pretty good though!

hoping to play more horror type games

[oatout]

I just downloaded and finished it! A great game! I jumped a few times and was on the edge of my seat the whole time... I can see the influence of resident evil 1 and silent hill from obviously the music, but also the map designs... Good game i would give it a 5 star!

[Dark Gaia]

Yes, Silent Hill and Resident Evil were my inspirations. In the original One Night game, I focused more one the Resident Evil style horror but decided to take a different angle this time around.

SH serves as a huge inspiration for One Night 3 as well, which is currently in the planning stages. Anyway, thanks to all of you for playing and it was great to hear you enjoyed the game.

[Hexagon]

Wel Well,some audio sound familiar,eh?

[Oceano]

Dark Gaia, can you post the picture your using for the flashlight look?
I had it, but got banned form the forums i got it from and can't find it anywhere else
Its called Test3 or something, right?

[Dark Gaia]

Hexagon, yes you are right. SH served as a main source of inspiration but there's only a small bit of SH audio in it, not counting sound effects.

@Oceano: I can get you the picture but you'll have to wait as I'm at school right now.

[Oceano]

Alright, thank you.

By the way, i played it, about half way through, and it is pretty scary.
Made me jump a few times, and i liked the creativity of the battle events!
The Strength idea was good too, because they need to have limits.
Also, nice mapping from the Mack tiles, its definently a change from the normal tiles.
Lastly, i like the fact that unlike in silent hill, every door isn't locked or Broken!

Cheers,
-Oceano

Thanks for playing and for the comments. I'm home now but I'm kind of in a rush so I can't upload the files right now. Just thought I'd post back to say I will get them for you tomorrow.

[Adke5000]

[Sniper Yoshi]
