Nocturnal 2 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 YTASH - A Nocturnal Poem has been rebranded yet again, reverting back to its original Nocturnal 2 name.

Hey everyone,

First of all, to address the game title situation: we've heard you loud and clear.
We've received tons of messages about the name being auto-corrected to "Trash" and people not being able to find the game. (on Google, YouTube, or via keyboard auto-correct)

So we've decided to revert the title to its original form: Nocturnal 2. Since it is a direct sequel, it still works.
We're sorry about the situation — we feel a bit foolish, but it's the best option for us, as the game is already widely referenced online as Nocturnal 2.

But here's the good news, we're excited to share the first gameplay trailer for Nocturnal 2!
This short preview focuses on the game's combat feel and showcases our new fire tech in action.

We've intentionally kept most content under wraps to preserve the best surprises for your own journey through the game, but we hope this glimpse sparks your curiosity!

Enjoy,
Cheers
