Dirge News

Attention Dirgelings, we have an important announcement: After careful consideration—okay, maybe not that careful, more like a glance over our shoulder—we've unanimously decided that requiring a PSN account to play Dirge is about as sensible as trying to fight off a horde of Revenants armed with nothing but a flashlight. In other words, it's downright silly, and we wouldn't dare subject our players to such unnecessary hoops to jump through.

We're all about inclusivity here, so if any other dev out there decides to take that plunge into the murky depths of PSN exclusivity, fear not! We'll gladly welcome their players into our own community with open arms and a wicked grin.

So, grab your friends, sharpen your stakes, and join us in the battle against the darkness—PSN account not required, but a healthy dose of bravery definitely recommended. Stay tuned for more updates and remember to check out our game on Steam for all your horror fix needs!

Gather 'round, brave Dirgelings, for a chillingly delightful update that'll make your ectoplasm tingle with excitement! Version 1.6 of Dirge has emerged from the dark depths, armed with more treats than a haunted house on Halloween night. We've summoned the spectral talents of WiseZauriel, a professional voice actor and streamer extraordinaire, to breathe life into our characters like never before by taking on the role of Vince. Prepare to be spellbound as Vince, our intrepid narrator, guides you through the tutorial with all the gravitas of a seasoned investigator – it's a performance so spine-tingling, you'll scream for an encore!

But wait, there's more! We've tinkered with the audio settings, adding an adjustable dialog volume slider to ensure every shriek and whisper hits just the right note. And fear not, for we've exorcised pesky bugs faster than you can say "boo!" Say goodbye to befuddling menus, cryptic tooltips, and the spine-chilling sensation of munching on snacks moments before facing the Reaper. Our guns now match their spread to your cursor, ensuring your aim is as sharp as a vampire's fang on a moonlit night! So, grab your ghost-hunting gear, rally your fellow investigators, and plunge headfirst into Dirge 1.6 – where the scares are plenty, but the laughs are eternal! Follow us on social media and check out the update on Steam for a frightfully fun time! And don't miss out on WiseZauriel's eerie escapades on Twitch – it's a scream!
