What is The Longest Night?

"Every year, at the end of summer, there is a special day called the Day of Sun.
During that day, the sun does not set, but shines brightly for the whole day.

However, the day before that is a bit special too. During the day before, the sun does not rise at all. We call this day 'The Longest Night'.

Hundreds of years ago, our world was ravaged by dark monsters. But one day, a girl with hair red as fire appeared. She wasn't a normal person like you and me -- she had otherwordly powers that could eradicate the monsters. Her name was Lumina.

She climbed to the top of Sunlight Tower and from there, her powers could reach across the whole world.
To keep the monsters at bay, she would have to stand there forever, until the end of time.

This is the legend passed down through generations and generations. To honor Lumina's sacrifice, people decorate their towns with lanterns during The Longest Night.
Long ago, people prayed that the lights would protect them from the dangers of the dark, but today, this legend is but a faint memory long forgotten.

Two of the few people who still remember the old legend are Noel and his sister Ellen. What they would soon experience amidst the festivities of The Longest Night would forever change their lives...

Gameplay

Our aim with 'The Longest Night' is to combine storytelling and gameplay in a beautiful package. To complete the game, you must solve puzzles and make it through forests and temples, but be wary of what awaits in the dark...
