About the Game

Uncover a vast land filled with secrets, monsters, and ancient myth in BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS, a top-down action RPG about a lost soul who uncovers a mysterious secret. Stranded in a foreign land and armed only with your wits and curiosity, you will collect items, unlock secrets, and fight ferocious monsters.

Fifteen years ago, King Leo braved Zanarik, Brother of Darkness, atop the Tower of the Gods. Where King Leo disappeared to is anyone's guess. Will you be able to solve the mystery?

A STRANGE LAND

As Peter, you will slowly uncover a vast mystery as you attempt to save the world of Evalon from unthinkable destruction.

EVERY INCH UNCOVERED

Use every item you can find in dungeons, caves, and the large handcrafted overworld to map an entire continent full of secrets. With dozens of enemy types and hundreds of puzzles, you will have to use every trick in your arsenal to stop evil forces and save the world of Evalon.

A COLORFUL CAST

The world of Evalon is stocked with colorful and crazy characters, each with their own unique desires and motivations. It never hurts to talk to each person you meet!

WHAT LIES BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS?
  • Explore a handcrafted overworld filled with intricate caves, tunnels, hidden paths, and overarching dungeons
  • Fight multiple enemies and bosses using a variety of weapons and items you will collect on your journey
  • Explore beaches, towns, deserts, mountains, swamps, and a city of the dead
  • Battle your way through a volcano, flooded lighthouse, abandoned factory, and much, much more
  • Take a break from the action with fishing and minigolf minigames
  • Get into shenanigans with a goofy trading sequence
  • Immerse yourself with an original soundtrack of over 50 songs and hundreds of unique sprites and tiles
  • Choose from Super Easy, Hard, and Speedrun game modes

BEYOND THE MOUNTAINS is a passion product of over a decade. I have lived with these characters and concepts for many years, and am excited to finally share the world of Evalon with you!
