Hi all,

We're back again with some insight into the development process of Endless Night.

Today's topic is "Art and Concepts" - in essence, we'll dive into what makes Endless Night so unique and different from the original Angel Wings, and we will also explore the never-ending question...

(say it with me now)

"Why is this taking so long?"

Dreaming Up a Nightmare

Endless Night takes inspiration from all of the horror classics - the Resident Evil s, Silent Hill s, and Fatal Frame s of the world were all major influences on the concepts and development of our brand-new foray into the genre.

While Endless Night doesn't seek to capture the heart-pounding frenzy of fighting off hordes of monsters (we are still a visual novel, after all), something that caught our attention in the best of these games was, above all, the atmosphere.

Cold, Eerie, yet Familiar

The above words are aspects that stuck out to us in many horror settings - while there's a time and place for more graphic, terrifying imagery, our major goal while designing Endless Night was to create environments that are not just spooky...but hauntingly lonely.

The thought of treading through a foggy forest, visiting an abandoned mansion, or sitting in an empty church - while we may be lonely, we're not entirely uncomfortable. In a way, Endless Night attempts to build on the themes of the original Angel Wings by putting us in places we've never been, yet oddly enough feel like home.

We're Never Really Alone, Are We?

That said, any great adventure requires a trusty companion or two. As mentioned on the Store page, Endless Night will be introducing a new cast of characters, as well as bringing back some familiar faces. As seen in the screenshots, Nuri will be one of a few members making her return, albeit with an updated look.

In addition, we're excited to introduce our new cast. Our first member is Lilith, whose design we revealed in the previous Dev Update. Lilith is your first encounter in the haunted mansion, carrying with her a strange, glowing orb. Will she be your ally through the darkness, or is there something more sinister at play?

Find out more when Angel Wings: Endless Night releases this summer! Until then, looking forward to the next Dev Update!
