YTASH - A Nocturnal Poem is a fast-paced, juggle-based 2D Metroidvania. Ignite your sword and explore the dark depths and towering heights of a forgotten island that consumed itself long ago.

Nocturnal 2 offers hand-drawn visuals and search action gameplay with a twist: as a master of the Enduring Flame technique, a single blow on a fire source sets your sword ablaze, allowing you to push back the darkness and unleash stylish abilities.

Use your Flame wisely, as it can be swiftly extinguished by the many foes trying to keep you in the dark.

Sunnyside Games revealed that Nocturnal 2 has been rebranded as YTASH - A Nocturnal Poem.

“We wanted to ensure YTASH - A Nocturnal Poem had a strong, unique identity as both a spinoff and as the next installment in the Nocturnal series,” said Gabriel Sonderegger, co-founder of Sunnyside Games. “As players will discover, the story of this game revolves around a specific poem with an associated mechanic, and we wanted to highlight that through the new title. YTASH - A Nocturnal Poem isn’t a sequel, anyone can fire up their blade and jump into our latest adventure, launching later this year!”

Key Features:

• Metroidvania Gameplay - Explore a non-linear world - burn your way throughout the city of Ytash to reach the First Brazier
• Unique Fire System - Keeping your Flame alight is your only way to survive the many dangers ahead. Maintain it at any cost by striking fire sources and protect it to better see the enemy attacks
• Fiery Abilities - Master your flames to hurl enemies and juggle them into ashes. Mix and match Fire Gems to unlock new spells!
• Hand-Drawn 2D Animation - Engulf yourself in a fully hand-drawn, 2D animated world
• A World of Secrets - Nocturnal 2 is meant to be consumed in a relatively short amount of time, but many surprises are on the menu for those who seek different paths...and true revelations.

YTASH - A Nocturnal Poem is coming to Nintendo Switch and PC (Steam) in 2025.
