Beyond the End (Free Demo)
The portal opened. The dead came through. You were marked.
Beyond the End is a retro pixel-art survival-horror RPG set in a modern city overrun by shadow beings and restless spirits. You're a survivor branded on the forehead by the portal, and its power will save you or corrupt you. Fight turn-based battles, craft from scavenged materials, and listen carefully to the celestials and demons whispering around you. Not every friendly voice is a friend.
What to expect:
- SNES-era pixel art and tense turn-based combat.
- An open world that unlocks as you level up.
- A real-time clock with night-only and weekend-only events.
- Hidden Easter eggs with clue trails.
- Endings shaped by your choices.
