"IN A WORLD AS STRANGE AS ITS NAME..."

After a terrifying storm plummets their plane into an oceanic death, three pilots find themselves in a mysterious realm known as "The Island", a flourishing paradise for those worthy of a 2nd life. Saved by the hands of a humble mage, the pilots and their passengers have no choice but to forget their old lives and start anew. However, they find themselves in nothing close to paradise...

The Island recently taken by a terrifying phantom, our unlikely heroes must secure the very deity that brought you here.

...

Er, brought THEM here, more accurately...

Tasked with reclaiming The Island from the phantom's clutches, our heroes set forth to carry justice, honor, and [ABSOLUTELY NOTHING DANGEROUS OR CONCERNING IN THE SLIGHTEST] to The Island once again. Can you conquer the challenges of this vaguely typical adventure? Or will you soon learn that not everything is as it-

...

N-No, wait. You're right. That's too much. I'll erase the whole recording and start over.

...!?

No! Please! I didn't mean to foreshadow so much! Just give me another chance! I've waited to talk to them for so long, and I-... I-...!

"OUR STORY BEGINS WITH A DOOMED NARRATIVE..."

Following the adventure of Theodore, Vander, and Evana, you must control the lives of those around you to save the world... or ruin it further, if you so choose. Every choice you make must be made through someone else... For without a body of your own, how else can one play the role of god?

The closer your beliefs align with the character, the more control you have over them, whether it be the outcome of battle or the way you wish to alter one's beliefs. Though some characters are a lot more... "rebellious" than others, with the right balance of freedom and control, you can convince the characters to do just about anything... For they cannot tell the difference between your influence and their own thoughts.

In the grand scheme of things, your wishes are their commands. After all, the characters behind your screen are just puppets designed for your entertainment, right?

...

...Right?

"THERE'S MORE TO DO THAN MEETS THE EYE..."

• Explore strange locations and societies in an open-world environment to expand your colony, make alliances, recruit party members, and slay all you deem your enemies.

• Decide friend versus foe in hectic turn-based combat where every kill counts, each death affecting your timeline in various ways. The longer you fight, the harder it gets.

• Interact with your recruits to raise their stats, prepare them for battle, and learn more about their lives back home.

• Force a character to fall in love, only to break them up in an attempt to pursue a maniacal mastermind using nuclear sludge to assassinate an alcoholic king? Apparently, that's something you can do.

"A WORLD FILLED WITH TRIALS OF THE SOUL... AND POORLY-TIMED JOKES."

With unexpected twists and turns around every corner, Night Spasm is nothing more than a game... Though, truthfully, it's somehow... less than that: A game where you're not the hero or the villain, but merely an influence of good and evil. Without you, there is no "game", but rather, a lifeless relic frozen in time, patiently awaiting the day someone comes... Not to "win" or "progress", but to have some relaxing, insightful, brain-teasing FUN! That's what you're here for, isn't it?

Or, you know, maybe it is just a game in the end... But who's to say for sure until certain mysteries unveil themselves?

Through the game's characters, lore, world, and the choices you make, there is much to learn about yourself. Will you take the role of storyteller and change the timeline to your liking? Or will the vessels be the ones with something to say for once?

LET'S FIND OUT, SHALL WE?

"..."

"There. That should do it. See? It's easy."

"You gave just as much spoilery information as I did! You just want all of the credit for yourself, don't you!?"

"Maybe so, but we can't mess this up. Elijah would smite us for failing this."

"Tsk! Like he's a god! He couldn't hurt us if he WANTED to, the bodiless freak!"

"..."

"Do you think it'll work? Do you think it'll reach them all?"

"We took this step because we already know it will work. Though we lack proof, we can only trust what Elijah tells us. He got us this far."

"I think he's making stuff up at this point! He tells us allllll these things about the future, but none of it has happened yet! And every time we adjust the map, he needs a million changes made! What's stopping him from going against his 'source' anyway? And better yet, where does his source get the information, whoever he is!?"

"Believe it or not, I think The Source resides in the same realm we've been tasked to breach."

"If literally ANY of this is true, that is!"

"(Sigh...)"

"..."

"Soon, when the breach does what cannot be undone, their curiosity and perseverance will determine our freedom of choice, for better or for worse. The more they strive to understand our world, the more choices they can make... But with each distraction will come a journey down the rabbit hole, their desire for answers our only hope in saving this place. I do wonder if they'll let their enemy hinder their freedom. Or perhaps, they'll suppress their beliefs and let US dictate what little control they started with."

"You better hope your message is good enough, or we all suffer! I can only hope our music does its job properly..."

"Yes. Let's all be careful... For until we finish the final step..."

"Who the hell knows what's about to happen?"

"..."

"Is this thing still recording??"
