I really enjoyed playing Nocturnals. It is very fun and has an amazing story, highly recommend!

i was so excied for this game, and it absoloutley worth it! the story telling and gameplay remidns me exactly of Minecraft story mode and tell tale the walking dead!! Worth every penny

Truly a wonderful expierance. Short and Sweet with well thought out endings to you choices <3

cant wait for the sequel

I loved this game THE YAOI IS AMAZING

Its all of my yaoi fantasies in one game :D

Despite it's simplistic artstyle and short playtime, I feel as if this game is really good! I like the storyline and that your own choices can affect how the ending plays out. I would recommend this game, and it has become one of my favorites to come back to over and over again. I can't wait to see what else happens when Cacti Coast comes out. :)

Amazing game, I love the soundtracks! Nocturnals may feel short (At most, about 50 minutes per run) but the story-telling for each path really hooks my interest. Also, in some parts, I really enjoyed the intense and challenging routes while trying to stay stealthy lol. Overall, I rate this game an 8.7/10, I think the voice acting can have more emotions but that's pretty much it from me. I recommend this game, can't wait for Cacti Coast!

[b]Basic Breakdown[/b]: [b]Nocturnals[/b] developed and published by [b]Cowboy Toad Games[/b], is a short, choice-based experience, set in the post-apocalyptic town of Ruddleside. This follows characters Ted and Diego trying to navigate through the horrors around them. [b]Graphics[/b]: I wholeheartedly adored them. They're quaint and simple within the limitations provided. For me personally, cohesive designs that fully stand within their identity will always look better than high fidelity just for the sake of it. This is a beautifully crafted world from start to finish, almost like stepping into a living comic book. [b]Soundtrack[/b]: Despite it's simplicity, it's well suited and stands out where necessary throughout the evolving situations. Additionally depending on choices you make, my favorite track has to be [spoiler]when Diego is playing his guitar piece in the school. It's heartwarming and brings the scene, and their blossoming affections to a pivotal point.[/spoiler] [b]Menu[/b]: Whilst I always thirst for more options, it didn't really need a whole lot for this simplistic journey that it was. It gave you the core basics of what you require, and did it simply. [b]Final Conclusion[/b]: To say that I wished for more, is the utmost compliment. Everything about this was fantastic. Especially the rare inclusion of LGBT characters and relations that just.. work. It's overall a very simple game and premise, but not in a way that detracts from the overarching experience. It's heartwarming depending on the trajectory you make, tragic in others. Alike most decision based games, I do find myself frustrated that choices sometimes aren't at all indicative of what you're picking, or the outcome it manifests. Or what seems like a kind response, turns out to be quite the opposite. However, Nocturnals tends to avoid this for the most part. Much to it's benefit and delight. This was made as a love letter to the developers partner, and rather than the traditional for-profit endeavors, it was zero-budget. A passion project. That in of itself, is worthy of mention for how well it pulled off everything it attempted to.
