Let The Nightshine In -v0.18 Ch. 2- By Sieglinnde -
With each update, Sieglinnde’s Let the Nightshine In cements itself as a quiet but fierce contender in the indie visual novel space. Version 0.18, which delivers the full second chapter, doesn’t just continue the story—it deepens the rot, sharpens the tension, and finally lets some of the night truly shine in. Chapter 2 picks up immediately after the unsettling closing moments of the prologue. Without spoiling too much: the protagonist’s uneasy alliance with the shadow-touched stranger evolves from whispered warnings into tangible danger.

Chapter 2 introduces a mechanical night cycle. As you progress, the screen subtly darkens, and ambient sounds (dripping water, distant footsteps, wind through dead trees) grow more layered. It’s simple, but effective. The title mechanic finally comes into play here. “Nightshine” is a resource you gather by lingering in dark places or making morally ambiguous choices. Spend it to unlock hidden dialogue options or visions of the past. Hoard it at your own risk. Chapter 2 introduces a mechanical night cycle
The message passed across “No Other Name” was certainly impressing but maybe it’s just me feeling like Broken Vessels (Amazing Grace) was the only song that is worth repeating over and over again. After setting the bar high with the release of last year’s Zion, I expected to hear something more powerful. The rest of the songs sounded like the Hillsong I used to know before Zion. I just felt the release of the album was too soon when I heard the announcement.
Hillsong is definitely one of those bands with ‘hit and miss’ albums. To me, I enjoyed this album thoroughly. Obviously when they do yearly albums (ZION was Hillsong UNITED actually, not Hillsong Worship!) some albums will resonate more so with different listeners. No worries if you didn’t like this album as much, I don’t think the band is concerned if they are universally liked or not!
Yeah “Broken Vessels” is pretty cool, and I think Taya Smith is one of those vocalists that will be big in the near future, for Hillsong and for CCM and worship music overall as well!
Yes, you’re right Josh. They changed their name to Hillsong Worship; perhaps that’s why they have a different sound. I will be looking forward to their next album. 🙂
