About

The Night Is Long is a short first-person Lovecraftian inspired horror game that explores grief, guilt, and the chilling unknown.

Use your wits and determination to survive the horrors within and uncover the truth buried in the shadows of the mansion.

Game is too dark, you can't see anything not in flashlight view took me a very long time to find the first puzzle clue Very linear once you realize there is a rotate prompt puzzles are very simple. a few jump scares, I got myself with the statue. Free game so give it a go, don't expect much.
The game has good scares for an unexperienced horror player but it was confusing and genuinely pissed me off I looked around the areas of the question marks for 20 MINUTES and still didn't find what they were trying to show and this was within the first 10 mins of loading up the game. genuinely the biggest waste of time for having so much potential if the dev would have just worked a little harder they would have made a decent game. and what is up with the fact that I can't expand the game its a little box on my pc straight BS its like the dev was just posted the game to call themselves a dev cause what is this UNFINISHED GARBAGE it pisses me off because this game could have actually been decent.

ok
My only issue is it isn't long enough. the voice acting is great, the art is amazing, and i had fun walking around finding the lore. cool game, I'd personally recommend if you like short interesting games
I loved playing this game!!! The ambience is there!!! The puzzles weren't too hard, making this game even more of an overall amazing experience! I'm a huge fan now! Will be keeping up with all new games you make! Love, RockstarBri!!🤩🤘💜
8/10 game. For someone who doesnt like many horror like games. i thought this game was a masterpiece. from the story to the actions in the game. Game was very well put together!!
I originally added this game to my Steam Library because the are from the screenshots looked like a point and click game, so I was surprised it was a first person game! I am so very happy that I picked up this game to play for my channel! With that being said, I think the game is as long as it needs to be. A problem I have with horror is games will run too long or will be so frustrating that my fear turns to boredom or anger. This is the perfect length! My two favorite scares! 1. [spoiler]The mannequins all moving their heads over to look at me was so good! Honestly, most scares with mannequins are fantastic mood setters but the red eyes added a great touch! [/spoiler] 2. [spoiler]There was this red light that zoomed across the screen at some point and it startled me real good! Can't remember exactly where on the map it was located.[/spoiler] A little mild critique I have is I would have loved to see the [spoiler]demon on the other side of the glass and the other baddies[/spoiler] up close. Maybe not in your face as scares or anything, but closer and more threatening. All in all, this was a great experience and I give it a solid 4/5! Ran into no bugs and had a great time with it! I am very excited to see more games made by this dev team!
Lovely free game and a wonderful indie experience. Really looking forward to seeing what the developers do next!
