We put this game to every storefront we collect. A market that answered not sold has told us something about the game; a market we never asked has not, and the two are never drawn the same.

About
Nocturnal is an action game where you play as Ardeshir, a soldier of the Enduring Flame, returning to his homeland, Nahran, after many years of absence.
Following the appearance of a mysterious Mist, the island has recently fallen into chaos, and Ardeshir must wield his flaming sword and use powerful abilities to confront its mysteries and free Nahran.
Repel a dynamically generated Mist that reacts to the flames of your sword.
Carry your flames across Nahran: your blade can also ignite the environment, activate mechanisms, and even destroy creatures born from the Mist.
Defeat enemies and explore the environment to collect ash, which can be offered to Phoenix statues. You'll gain new skills and bonuses vital for your survival.
Explore a compact island offering a streamlined experience centered around a singular concept. (game length: around 3 hours)

7.8/10分~ 离火长明~ 免费送的小游戏，本来也没抱多少期待，电子ed没什么耐心打游戏，寻思着随便下点小垃圾玩玩，没想到体验却意外的好~ 在此之前，我从没喜欢过火系角色，给我的印象都是，动漫里的主角，红色头发，暴力输出，持续伤害，大火球，喷火，嗯… 经典，但是一点都不帅~ 相比之下冰系、雷系什么的就很酷，什么连锁闪电杀一片呀，什么绝对零度变冰雕呀~ 直到我玩到了这个游戏，想起了小时候在农村里烧火，把一根根的木材放进柴火灶里，看着熊熊燃烧的火焰，焚烧殆尽，让一切都化为灰烬~ 那种火焰真的很迷人，它在空中摇曳，是木头的灵魂，它们飘逸又转瞬即逝，仿佛能抹去一切罪孽。我就这样看着它，一直看着，我能看一整天，我忘了当时在想什么，但我很喜欢那种脸和身体都被烤得热热的感觉~ 火越烧越旺，直到我妈喊我，骂我说：又把锅烧坏了。很多年以后，我妈还经常提起那个被烧坏的锅… 小学的时候我依旧迷恋火焰，妈妈在菜市场里工作，就和朋友捡猪肉去市场管理部的楼上烤，看着猪肉越烤越小，冒着猪油噼啪作响，从猪肉的飘香变成一块小黑碳。 再长大些，我便与火焰无缘了，许许多多的游戏与动漫里的火焰，给我感觉只是红红的会动的贴图或者动画，它们并不酷。 而这个游戏的火焰给我一种摇曳而又飘逸的感觉~ 是呀，火焰不应该是红色的有固定样子的，它们散发着黄色的光芒，边缘淡淡且透明的~ 将光扭曲，模糊着与现实的界限，随着风律动~ 扯远了，这游戏还有传火~ 想起08年的北京奥运会~ 一点一点一步一步的将火焰带向远方，点亮世界。 在火焰中挥舞的刀刃，感觉也特别好~~~ 到最后「化身火焰」，好酷！
Honestly, pretty damn good. Maybe not the best in its genre, and overpriced, but still a fun game that might be worth on a sale, or if you got it for free like me, then it's definitely worth a playthrough. In terms of gameplay, I have no major complaints. The game has a small scope, so I didn't expect a ton of enemy variety, combos and all that, but it's solid overall and hope the devs expand upon it. The lore is somewhat lacking though. I'm guessing it's going to be built upon further, but as it stands, all we get is like three dialogues and ~15 letters that are few sentences each. The only major problem is the price. 17 euro (or equivalent) is extremely, extremely steep for a game that took me less than 2 hours to finish, as per the in-game timer. Even on a 75% sale, 3,39 euro, I'd consider the price steep. I certainly wish the devs all the best and Nocturnal 2 is on my wishlist as of now, but the devs should really reconsider their pricing. Nonetheless, if you could get it for cheap, it's definitely worth playing.

14 of 15 markets; the rest we haven't asked for this title, not markets where it is unavailable.
14 on sale1 answered “not sold”0 we did not ask
The 1 “not sold” market is read from the Steam price pass of Aug 28: that day the store answered for this game elsewhere and gave no price there. The 14 priced markets are the same rows as the table above — each the latest price we hold, dated here when it is older than that pass. The 0 marked “not asked” were not put to this store at all — either it has no storefront there or we do not collect it yet, and neither is a statement about the game. A refusal is a refusal on one day; a store can list a title again tomorrow.
For scale, across Steam · Top Sellers · Brazil over the last 30 days: the 25 chart moves that followed a price cut of more than 20% went a median of 10 places towards #1, and the 2,413 moves with no price cut behind them went 2 away. One store, one chart, one country — it is the only place we have enough observations to say even that.
Prices outside the United States have been collected since 6 August 2026 and chart positions since 19 July 2026, so a cut older than that has no market to compare and a market that joined later has no history yet. Nothing here is converted between currencies.

[h3]Не дай огню погаснуть.[/h3] Nocturnal - это небольшое, но очень атмосферное приключение, которое проходится буквально за один вечер, но успевает оставить приятные впечатления. Больше всего понравилась главная механика с огнём. Здесь пламя - это не просто красивый эффект, а полноценная часть игрового процесса. Им приходится поджигать окружение, рассеивать тёмный Туман, активировать механизмы и даже использовать в бою. Из-за этого игра постоянно держит в движении и не даёт забыть о своей главной особенности. Визуальный стиль тоже заслуживает внимания. Красиво нарисованные локации, плавные анимации и приятные эффекты создают ощущение сказочного, но опасного мира. Саундтрек хорошо дополняет атмосферу и не отвлекает от происходящего. Боевая система достаточно простая, но динамичная. Враги не успевают надоесть, а сама игра не затягивает искусственно и заканчивается ровно тогда, когда начинает казаться, что этого уже достаточно. Из минусов могу отметить лишь техническую мелочь: у меня на протяжении всей игры на экране постоянно отображался курсор мыши. А если случайно увести его за пределы экрана, игра переставала реагировать на клики, пока курсор не вернуть обратно. Из-за этого я несколько раз погибала в совершенно нелепых ситуациях, что немного портило впечатление. Но учитывая, что игру я получила во время раздачи, придраться больше особо и не к чему. Nocturnal оставила после себя приятные эмоции: стильная, атмосферная и с действительно интересной механикой, вокруг которой построено всё приключение.
Peguei de graça, é um jogo bem bonitinho e curto, deu pra zerar em uma sessão é legalzinho no máximo

short and sweet. Art is gorgeous and the attention to details on what players would do (burning everything) is refreshing. The moves and aiming system is bit janky esp when throwing daggers but overall the on-the-rails gameplay and storytelling makes up for it. Great way to spend a quality 3 hours.
Довольно прикольная инди игрушка, которая проходится буквально за несколько часов. Рекомендую.
Short, sweet and to the point. Nocturnal is a good showcase of how a game can be built around a central mechanic. The game overall feels highly fluid and while the platforming felt a little floaty at times, I always felt like this game is begging to be speedrun. Sadly, not my area of expertise at all! Either way, I think Sunnyside games really showed their creativity here and while I received this game for free via Steam, I can't wait to see what they put out and come up with with the second iteration!
A side-scroller action-platformer that reminds me of Foregone back in the day. Got this for free on April 23rd. You play as Ardeshir, one of remaining soldiers of the Enduring Flame, coming home to Nahran — has been corrupted by the Mist — to find his little sister. The good element in this game is the combat. It was pretty fun. Fire is your main element. Your blade can ignite the environments, lit torches to activate mechanism, destroy mist creatures, and it can heals you. Story-wise is short, finished almost 2 hours and the only missable achievement is finding all the fire shrines. https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3802394815 https://steamcommunity.com/sharedfiles/filedetails/?id=3802394694
Sweet and short game. I am interested in checking out the sequel, game play was fairly simple and fun.
