Description

Behind the Beyond is a captivating journey deeply rooted in Hungarian folklore, a winding tale of magic and mystery with multiple endings, set against a backdrop of beautiful folk art and music. Join Jánoska, the youngest son of a humble man, as he unravels the kingdom's mysteries and discovers his destiny. Every choice matters as you shape the fate of the kingdom and its people, aided by a cunning fox companion.

Folklore and culture

At the heart of Behind the Beyond lies the rich tapestry of Hungarian folklore. Drawing inspiration from the music, embroidery styles, and storytelling traditions of our ancestors, we strive to transport players to a world brimming with the soulful echoes of our cultural legacy.

By immersing themselves in this enchanting adventure, players will encounter the mystical creatures of Hungarian folklore, including the three-headed dragon, the ethereal fairies, shapeshifting evil spirits and other legendary beings that may be unfamiliar to many.

Their adventures are accompanied by the unique and beautiful music of the amazing Kerekes Band.

Ulti

The official card game of Hungary, seamlessly integrated into the immersive world of Behind the Beyond!

Ulti offers players a chance to experience the beloved Hungarian card game within the enchanting realm of Behind the Beyond. But that's not all – Ulti will also be available as a standalone game on Steam, allowing players to jump right in, without having to play the main game at all.

Behind the Beyond: Ulti ensures that players can enjoy the game without compromising the storyline of Behind the Beyond. As players progress through the main title, the content of Ulti will grow alongside it, offering new challenges.

Gameplay unlike any other

Our adventure game blends classic point-and-click mechanics with innovative gameplay elements. A dynamic day-night cycle offers you new opportunities and challenges as the sun sets and rises, but what truly sets Behind the Beyond apart are its alternative puzzle solutions, where your abilities in charm, strength, and dexterity are giving you the freedom to tackle obstacles in your own unique style.

During his travels Jánoska gains a loyal friend, a talking fox who accompanies him on his journey, offering assistance and companionship along the way. With the ability to call upon this clever fox in various situations, players can explore alternative puzzle solutions and unlock hidden paths. Whether it's using the fox's agility to reach inaccessible areas or leveraging her keen senses to uncover secrets, the interactive buddy adds a whole new dimension to gameplay.
