The story is praised for its Lovecraftian elements and inspiration from classic horror games like "Alone in the Dark," effectively building mystery and tragedy through cutscenes and collectible notes. Players appreciate the dual-character perspective that alters the narrative and endings, enhancing the overall experience. Overall, the sequel is considered a strong continuation of the first game's story, with engaging gameplay and a compelling plot.

- “You can also play between two different characters, which changes the story a little bit, especially the endings.”
- “Yes, I do. If you enjoyed the first game, then you're definitely going to really like its sequel. Honestly, I hope someday this gets a remake done in the style of the re-release of Mad Father, with updated graphics and a few changes or add-ons to the story.”
- “One item (thankfully not necessary to move forward in the story) I couldn't obtain because the answer to the puzzle was correct, but the variable supposed to hold said answer was blank.”

The graphics in the RPG are generally well-received, showing noticeable improvements over the first game and enhancing the atmosphere of the mansion. However, the limitations of the RPG Maker engine, such as poor fullscreen display and lack of HD support, detract from the experience for modern gamers. Overall, while fans of the first game may appreciate the visual upgrades, the technical shortcomings remain a significant drawback.
- “The RPG graphics are very good; it's standard for RPG Maker, but I feel like these were a bit more improved than the first game, making the mansion feel a bit more alive.”
- “If you enjoyed the first game, then you're definitely going to really like its sequel. Honestly, I hope someday this gets a remake done in the style of the re-release of Mad Father with updated graphics and a few changes or add-ons to the story.”
- “Like all RPG Maker games, the poor quality engine displays badly in fullscreen and doesn't have full HD support or any graphics tweaking options, making this unacceptable for any dedicated modern PC gamer.”

This RPG Maker horror game successfully combines elements reminiscent of Resident Evil and Alone in the Dark, offering engaging gameplay with a compelling story and well-designed enemies and bosses.

- “One Night 2: The Beyond is not only a pretty good RPG Maker horror game and a clone of Resident Evil/Alone in the Dark, but it's also a very good sequel to the first game, with a very good story, good gameplay, and really good enemies and bosses.”
