Friends of Safety (formerly Black Seven Studios) and publisher DANGEN Entertainment have launched Kingdom of Night today on PC via Steam, GOG, Humble Store, and itch.io. This isometric action-RPG combines cosmic horror with retro Americana across 1987’s Miami, Arizona, where satanic cult summonings plunge the town into demonic chaos perfect for audiences anticipating Stranger Things Season 5.
1980s Small-Town Horror Setting
When a satanic cult unwittingly summons ancient evil Baphomet in 1987, protagonist John awakens to his neighbour’s kidnapping and ventures into the night fighting demonic invasion whilst rescuing friends. The hour-by-hour narrative creates urgency as Earth’s final night potentially unfolds through unearthly evils, demon lords, afflicted townsfolk, high school bullies, and serial-like side stories.
This nostalgic action-RPG blends pulse-pounding combat with coming-of-age storytelling steeped in friendship, fantasy, and horror—capturing supernatural small-town atmosphere that resonates with fans seeking Stranger Things-adjacent experiences.
Five-Class System with Deep Customisation
Players choose between Barbarian, Knight, Rogue, Necromancer, and Sorcerer classes, each excelling differently through unique playstyles. Skill trees split into three branches containing ten talents each, allowing point allocation as players level up.
Upon reaching level 10 in one branch, players unlock cross-branch progression enabling comprehensive customisation beyond rigid class definitions. This flexibility accommodates hybrid builds combining typically incompatible abilities for creative synergy discovery.
Open-Ended Exploration Structure
The entire town map opens for exploration with wide NPC casts and player-chosen Demon General confrontation order. This non-linear structure prevents forced progression sequences, allowing tactical decisions about which demon lairs to infiltrate first based on difficulty assessment or narrative curiosity.
Hidden items throughout the town reward thorough exploration, whilst quest rewards and multi-tiered loot systems with variable drop rates provide equipment ranging from common to completely unique. Special item abilities enhance character statistics beyond skill tree development.
Local Co-op Implementation
Players tackle the campaign solo as John or with friends through local co-op. Character class synergies create coordinated devastation the underworld fears, with different ability combinations enabling diverse cooperative strategies.
The local co-op focus suits the 1980s setting where online multiplayer didn’t exist, maintaining thematic consistency whilst providing social gameplay opportunities reminiscent of couch gaming’s golden era.
Launch Timing
Releasing alongside Stranger Things Season 5 creates fortuitous timing for audiences seeking supplementary supernatural 1980s content. The demon-slaying combat and eerie small-town mystery complement rather than compete with the Netflix series’ narrative focus.
Kingdom of Night targets action-RPG enthusiasts seeking nostalgic horror with D&D-inspired class systems when it launches today across multiple PC storefronts.
