Beyond the Beyond

Beyond the Beyond, known in Japan as Beyond the Beyond: Harukanaru Kanān he (ビヨンド ザ ビヨンド ～遥かなるカナーンへ～, lit. "Beyond the Beyond: To Far Away Kanaan"), is a role-playing video game that was developed by Camelot Software Planning and published by Sony Computer Entertainment for the PlayStation in 1995.
