Nocturnal II, formerly YTASH: A Nocturnal Poem, is a Metroidvania / side-scrolling action adventure video game developed and published by Sunnyside Games.

About

Nocturnal II is a spinoff from the acclaimed side-scrolling Nocturnal, inviting new players to ignite their swords and explore a city consumed in total darkness.

Nocturnal II offers hand-drawn visuals and search action gameplay with a twist: as a master of the Enduring Flame technique, a single blow on a fire source sets your sword ablaze, allowing you to push back the darkness and unleash stylish abilities. Use your Flame wisely, as it can be swiftly extinguished by the many foes trying to keep you in the dark.
