Once upon a time, in the kingdom of Behind the Beyond, the youngest son of a poor man set out to find his own fairy tale—but fairy tales have a way of finding those who believe in them.

This is his tale—and yours to shape.

You’ll guide young Jánoska on a journey woven from Hungarian folklore, embroidered with curses, mysteries, tricksters, and the occasional three-headed dragon. He sets out to find work, like his brothers before him, but the roads twist quickly in these lands, and not everything is what it seems.

Even in a land of magic and mystery, there’s always time for cards!

Ulti, Hungary’s classic card game, is played by nearly everyone in Behind the Beyond—from grumpy innkeepers to enchanted princes. It’s part of the world, and fully playable on its own if you’d rather skip the fairy tale and head straight to the tavern.

A tale shaped by you (and a talking fox)

Behind the Beyond is a point-and-click adventure soaked in Hungarian folklore, where every screen looks like it was stitched by your grandma and bewitched by a travelling merchant with questionable intentions. The hand-drawn world borrows its colors and creatures from fairy tales you’ve never heard—but will absolutely want to.

Your choices matter.
So do your stats. As you explore, you’ll level up Charm, Strength, or Dexterity, which unlock new dialogue options, puzzle solutions, and ways to look slightly cooler in front of royalty.

But you’re not alone.

You’re joined by the Fox — a talking, spell-casting, scent-tracking adventurer with secrets of her own and absolutely no patience for nonsense. At times, you’ll control her directly to explore hidden paths or solve puzzles. She can squeeze through tight spaces, sniff out trouble, and set things on fire — magically, of course.

Are you ready to uncover the secrets of Behind the Beyond?

This game is currently in development.

 

Hey streamers!

Let the crowd guide the tale.

No plug-ins. No overlays. Just switch on Streamer Mode, and your viewers can vote on what Jánoska should say or do—right from their browser.

Their choice shows up in your game, like magic. (Democracy-flavoured magic.)

It's all about Ulti

Ulti is a very popular card game in Hungary. So naturally, when we were thinking about what type of mini game we could add to Behind the Beyond, Ulti was an obvious choice. From the very rough first version, it is now mostly complete, with a gorgeous and comprehensive tutorial that will also be completely voiced.
