Night Road

Night Road is a top-down 2D action adventure about Valen Arcadius, a medieval alchemist travelling at night to deliver a special tonic. He takes an ancient road through a forest reclaimed from a fallen empire, where a familiar evil has begun corrupting the plants, animals and insects. If Valen fails to deliver the tonic, an innocent life will be lost.

The road

You travel through a series of levels filled with dangerous creatures, poisonous plants, crumbling ruins, traps and treasures. To advance through each area, find its signpost and read it by torchlight.

Torch and alchemy

Your torch lights the way, burns obstacles and damages fierce insects. Some creatures fear fire, but become much more aggressive if the torch goes out. It drains slowly, so you can light braziers along the route and return to them to relight it.

Valen can use berries, leaves and petals from certain plants to make items for the journey. Collect enough of particular plant materials to craft poison darts for killing vicious beasts, antidotes for venom and toxic spores, and acid for dissolving rust on ancient gates and chests.

Coins and merchants

Hidden silver and gold coins can be found along the road. You can exchange them for items and upgrades with merchants camped at crossroads.
