Behind the Beyond
Launches 30 September 2026 · PC · Adventure, Indie, Early Access
In a land of old tales and great heroes, the youngest son finally gets his turn. Join Jánoska and The Fox on a magical adventure inspired by Hungarian folktales where you explore cosy villages, enchanted woods, and face the Three Trials in your quest for half a kingdom (and maybe a princess).

Which is a perfectly reasonable assumption. It is also completely wrong. She is clever, mysterious, magically gifted, and clearly knows much more about the world than she is willing to admit.
