About This Game

Once Upon a Time…

Jánoska’s brothers have already set off to make their fortunes. Now it is his turn. With little more than curiosity and a big heart, he wanders into the nearby village in search of opportunity… and immediately finds trouble.

When Jánoska finally sets off to make something of himself, his journey begins with seemingly small tasks in a quiet village. Yet these humble beginnings quickly lead him into a world of old magic and strange stories.

One day the town crier arrives with astonishing news!

The king of Behind the Beyond is looking for a suitor for his daughter, the Princess. So he proclaims the legendary Three Trials, challenges so daunting that few believe anyone could survive them. But for the youngest son, this may be the chance to win half a kingdom and the hand of a princess.

Magic, Choices & a Clever Fox Companion

Beyond the classic point & click actions, Jánoska can rely on charm, dexterity, or sheer strength to overcome the obstacles in his path. How you approach each challenge shapes the opportunities that await you later in the adventure.

As the journey continues, a new perspective opens with the arrival of the Fox, a second playable character whose keen senses and magical talents reveal possibilities hidden from human eyes.

Together, their different skills allow you to experiment, adapt, and discover your own way through a living folklore world full of secrets.

Time Waits for No One

As time ticks, the day-night cycle influences what paths open, when secrets emerge, and how the world unfolds.

Always Time for a Round of Cards

Need to win respect or just settle an argument fairly? Challenge locals (even animals!) to Ulti, the clever, competitive Hungarian card game. Every tavern plays it, and with our tutorial included, soon you will too!

And yes, the same version lives on Steam separately, with added leaderboards and multiplayer fun! Check out Behind the Beyond: Ulti!
