Crunchyroll Ultimate or Mega Fan Membership Required Eternights is a dating action game, blending a love story with adrenaline-driven combat as you make the most out of life during the apocalypse. Scavenge for supplies, explore dungeons... and go on dates! Face the Infected One day, something, or someone, has turned humans into dangerous monsters. All that interests them now is violence and power. They are what stand between you, a cure, and the world you want. Most importantly? You’re fighting for more than just your own survival – you are fighting for those you love. Find Love The impending end of the world makes for a great conversation starter! When you’re not exploring dungeons, you can choose to spend time growing closer to a cast of five quirky and loveable characters. Explore their stories and grow closer to them to unlock unique skills and spells you can use in battle. Race the Clock Scavenging, dungeon crawling, dating…there are just too many things to do in one day, and each area has a deadline! Will you grow closer to your confidant in order to deepen your relationship and unlock new skills? Will you scavenge the wasteland for supplies? Will you grow stronger by training with your companions? Or will you ignore all of that and go to the dungeon the first chance you get? It’s up to you, but remember, the clock is ticking. Explore Dungeons These dangerous areas - known as the "Wall" - are filled with mystery and danger. As the deadline looms, you will have to quickly overcome traps, puzzles, and dancing minigames to make it through in time. Luckily, you have your confidants by your side to help when things get scary. Animated Cutscenes There are several fully 2D animated cutscenes that change depending on who you decide to date. Immerse yourself and truly connect with the characters you are spending time with. ———— Crunchyroll Premium members enjoy an ad-free experience, with full access to Crunchyroll's library of over 1,300 unique titles and 46,000 episodes, including simulcast series that premiere shortly after premiering in Japan.

Expansion Beyond

Features
Read full description

Year 2185: Spacecraft Noah-1 stars a long journey towards Alpha Centauri, carrying the first humans ever to travel beyond the Solar System. Its destination: Proxima b, a rocky planet tidally locked to the dwarf star Proxima Centauri. A world of extremes, where one side bathes in perpetual daylight while the other hides in eternal darkness. Incompatible with Earth life, its atmosphere is toxic and its oceans flow with sulfuric acid. As you step out of your landing pod, you realize that you are not alone. Proxima b is teeming with life — alien, primitive and aggressive. Your mission: survive Proxima b’s unforgiving environment and predators, while harvesting resources that will help humanity accelerate its expansion to Alpha Centauri. Features: * Reap the rewards of being one of the first humans to pioneer life beyond our solar system. * Extract natural resources (metals, polymers, and osmium) to build your headquarters and devices that will help you survive. * Unlock the mysteries of Proxima b as you explore its alien landscapes and fend off aggressive life forms. * Build a Cloning Bay to bring you back to life after you die. Which will happen, often. * Adapt and evolve by unlocking an arsenal of advanced weapons, powerful mods, and cutting-edge cybernetic implants. * Learn about Proxima b’s unusual biology and evolution. * Build a Particle Accelerator, produce Antimatter, and power a teleportation gate between Alpha Centauri and the Solar System. Expansion Beyond demands strategic thinking, careful planning, and fast reflexes. It contains scenes of mild violence, making it unsuitable for children.
