One Just Night
A downloadable game for Windows, macOS, and Android
Our Lady of Possibility (“Billie” for short) has always been frustrated with the vagueness of her prophecy. While those around her see endless potential, she feels stagnant and unable to move forward to become something great.
When The Seeing One, the oracle for the city, calls for Billie, Billie hopes to finally get clarity on her prophecy. Unfortunately, the new addition to her prophecy only serves to make things more complicated for Billie when the prophecy points at Seeker of a Just Night - the incredibly stern individual who Billie has clashed with in the past.
Just Night is reluctantly willing to give Billie the day to see if they can find common ground to make the prophecy come true - after all, who can argue with fate?

Amazing game!!! I really appreciate there being a he/him lesbian character as someone whose pronouns don't "match" my gender identity :) Billie and Just Night were so sweet and I loved the story. I also loved that their names were sort of riddles to their identities/futures, it was super cool
Oh, so there were actually 5 endings? (secret ending counted) i only did one ending. Guess, i just have to play this game again...
here's the ending guide! https://banana-ooyu.itch.io/one-just-night/devlog/383311/one-just-night-ending-g...
Very good game, I love friendships and relationships with complicated histories. I really liked the naming conventions too. Great character designs. Our Lady of Possibility is super cute, Seeker of a Just Night made me say "oh no, he's hot" when he appeared, and the Seeing One is a cool mysterious scarf mom.
the game is honestly just fucking great!!! its so gayyyy :3
question, it was mentioned that billie has an ex gf and also is a lesbian, but due to Just Night, who only goes by he/him, does that change anything?
also is just night FtM trans?
love the game either way!
may or may not have squeeled in gay ass joy at the ending i got :3
Just Night is a he/him lesbian - he doesn't associate with traditional "womanhood", but 100% is not a man. This article briefly discusses he/him lesbians in the historical context of butches and other masculine-presenting lesbians, if you're interested: https://radiantbutch.medium.com/why-you-should-respect-he-him-lesbians-85dca31a5...
So glad you enjoyed the game! Thank you for playing!!

Thanks for letting us know! Did you happen to have an older version of the game? The latest build fixed a similar bug, so just wanted to check!
If not, can you let me know which choice you made right before this bug happened? Thanks! <3
I'm not sure how to check the version! I'll see if I can find it...Found it! I was playing version 1.0. So weird!I was giving a crystal to JN; it happened with any positive reaction to the crystal, but not negative reactions.
Gotta take that sapphic thirst trap warning seriously y'all
Ok but really it was so good!!!!! I'm obsessed, I immediately played it a second time after my first playthrough. Y'all did such an amazing job! :)
My only request is that if you make a sequel please let me voice ancient fish. I have no va experience but I WILL give it my all
I want you to know I show this comment to all my friends because that first line never fails to make me cackle. And I'll keep the request in mind for the Ancient Fish ;) Thank you so much for playing!
I found the writing extra enticing ; a lot of fun and quirkyness all the way :)
The design or the heroine felt off at first but nah, just me being surprised about trailing off from the classic anime face, she's great.
Music wasn't bad at all too, I used as background theme while doing writings :p
I'm so glad the writing was fun - I was worried it'd be too cringe-y, like bad YA novel, so it's relieving to hear the quirkiness was enjoyable and not offputting! And yeah the soundtrack is such a jam :) Thank you so much for playing!
this game is amazing!!! i love the characters (both the main characters and the side characters, ancient fish my beloved), the artwork, the romance....
10/10 i instantly wanna play it again
yesss I'm obsessed with every single character, I'm so glad they resonated with you!
I'm so glad you like Ancient Fish - it was so incredibly fun to write for <3
this was amazing i loved it so much thank you for making it 13/10
thank you so much for playing! :D
Thank you so so SO much for playing <3333

Now that you've said it I cannot unsee it, and I'm not even a Genshin player. 11/10 comment, thank you for playing <333333
Ugh this game is truly the cutest fucking shit, I love this, I cried twice by the end, I would die to protect these two. Gorgeous characters, art, music, writing, everything!! 10/10 beautiful game!!
Even though I've failed to reply to this for three weeks, I think about this comment every time I look at this game. I'm so glad it hit the emotional notes I wanted it to. Thank you for playing!!!
