One Night 2: The Beyond *Full Horror*

[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.

Haven't played this game yet, but I love your font! Also the screenshots look really nice. I'll be downloading shortly.

Scary games don't appeal to me, i love to sleep at night!
however the game seems like a pretty good horror game, the screenshots really proved that.
also if this is part 2, where is part one?

Dark Gaia's One Night is also located in Complete Games. It's actually right below this game. Take a look! I'll be downloading these games sometime this week or next and be commenting on them. Looks good though!

Well then how will projects get replies then?

I hope Dark Gaia comes around a bit more, these games seem quite underrated.

I have played quite a bit of this game and I must admit... I like it.

Dark Gaia has crafted a game with the sense and style of H.P. Lovecraft, sending you into a mystery that is entwined with a foreboding sense of terror. I will admit that I was unprepared when some events occurred (not giving anything away) that did in fact startled me. And the threats your character faces are not to be taken lightly.

Sound is a plus, and the music score is well used. I did find one or two areas where the music just 'ended'. There is that, and one 'scream' that could have been better (scorpion). But what was used matched up with the game brilliantly.

Visually, this game was done very well. No VX RTP charactersets!!! By all respect, I kept forgetting that this was an RPGMaker VX game as I was afraid of the ugly tileset they supplied. If that was the RTP tileset (doubtful), Dark Gaia did a masterful job designing each and every floor and room of the mansion. And instituting the flashlight/lantern-radius effect really helped to set the style and mood of the game.

Wow, thanks DerVVulfman! Those comments are very in depth and are both useful to me and quite good for the ego.

Sorry to everyone if I don't post in these topics too often. I'm not always on the internet and this particular forum is an occasional place to visit, not a usual haunt. I'll keep an eye out more often though.

Update

The site hosting my uploads (RPGMaker.net) overhauled their site URLs today so the links I had posted previously died. I have now updated them. Sorry for any inconvenience.

As of this moment (8:38 PM AEST) I have uploaded a new version of The Beyond to celebrate the first anniversary of its release. This new version contains the entire Special Edition version of the game plus a new Expansion Pack which adds new locations, gameplay, puzzles and scares, all up making this the ultimate version of the game and worthy enough to be played even if you've clocked The Beyond before.

Snap it up when it's fully uploaded and approved on RMN... Should be by this time tomorrow.
