Overview
Anthems of the Nightside is an animated visual novel for players who want horror mixed with dark, monster-filled encounters. The tone stays tense and unsettling rather than lighthearted.
Story
Pulled into the Nightside by the meddling of a wizard and a criminal named Barry, the protagonist is trapped among powerful inhuman entities. The only way home is to survive, find allies, and understand the spirits that inhabit this hostile place.
Gameplay
Players guide the protagonist through zones of the Nightside, making choices that determine who they meet and whether they live to see the next area. Progress depends on recruiting allies and uncovering the nature of the spirits tied to each zone, with encounters ranging from dangerous to intimate. Survival is the constant pressure behind every decision.
