8 itemsAbout the Game
Return to the world of Nocturnals, where civilisation struggles to recover decades after creatures from outer-space laid it to ruin.
Play as Ted, a hopeful survivor chasing rumours of a forgotten community deep within the foggy state of Cacti Coast.
Along the way, you'll make friends and foes, all with differing views on what Cacti Coast has become - and what it should be. Your choices will shape not only Ted’s beliefs, but also the companions who join him and the places he dares to go.
Gameplay Features:
Your story continues: If you played Nocturnals, your ending carries over. Does Ted start his journey resentful and alone, or is he accompanied by a close companion, Diego?
Non-linear exploration: Choose where to travel next. Each location across Cacti Coast offers a unique narrative, with characters, dilemmas, and philosophies that can influence your path.
Companions and consequences: Characters you meet may choose to join your journey - or walk away, depending on your actions.
