I went back to this page looking for more information on the comic, and was devastated to see that the page no longer exists.

I had been putting it off time and time again, and it seems I may never see.

Nocturnal: Phantasms lives rent free in my head as a masterclass in storytelling and the use of dark themes without crushing the viewer.
I am very sad to be unable to see anything more from the creator.

If the creator wouldn't mind reaching out to me, I would be overjoyed to speak to them and learn anything I can about Nocturnal.


Either way, this game will break your heart.

Hey, I am not InfinityDoom, but I was a big fan of the comic when it was active back in the day. This game brought me into the fandom and impacted my life in a lot of ways. The comic is still accessible online, here on FurAffinity: Nocturnal Comic

There's an official Discord linked under some of the pages, too: Nocturnal Discord

It's long dead, but there's some interesting conversations you can look through.

Hope you can still enjoy what of the Nocturnal world was made, even this long after. Best wishes.

Hey, I have been playing until the second boss by now and I have to admit this game hits hard emotionally but there is a couple problems that make the game unfair at some points:

  1. Mini-boss respawn: mini bosses like the open head blue scorpion thingy are great BUT when you have to fight them over and over again it isn't challenging but tedious, making them not respawn after killing them and then dying another more interesting solution would be changing them to a non boss when you respawn, so they would be not as annoying and tedious


  2. Enemy variety: sure making interesting enemies is quite difficult but the very low amount of basic enemies is absurd, after the first bossfight this was way more noticeable, the Fly things are very repetitive aswell as the Blue scorpions, 2 or 3 more will make this a bit less noticeable and not so repetitive.


  3. The Enemy attacks: mainly ONE big problem, usually when you dash though an enemy/boss the projectiles will suddenly change directions, i am not a programmer but a change i would implement is saving the players location and then firing at the saved location, not the player, because this happens so fast it is directly imposible not to get hit and it looks horrible when the enemy looks to the right, you dash to the left and the bullets just go right though the enemy and hit you, it makes some parts of the game unfair because of the apparent randomness of the attacks.


I also had a little bug where if i die and close the game the pool of ashes disappears, a possible solution may be just saving it when you close the game but if it isn't that much of a nuisance, it hay be something intentional, if it is sorry for pointing that as a bug ;-;


That aside though, this game hits emotionally (though that is multiplied with me having a really low self stem) and in dialog it hits just right, keep working man, this game has a lot of potential :)

Amazing work, loved everything in it, haven't met any bugs as well. A few changes, and put it on steam for 5-10euro, I would buy it and so would many other people.
