[p]Hello everyone, [/p][p][/p][p]The Steam Awards are back! Until December 1st, you can vote for your favorite games across a variety of categories — and if you feel Dark Hours earned it, we’d be honored to receive your nomination for “Better With Friends.”[/p][p][/p][p][/p][p][/p][p]It's true that playing Dark Hours with friends doesn’t always make your heists safer (those of you who have a teammate who uses every grenade or dart gun on you instead of the monsters… please raise your hand. It’s okay. We’re in this together). But playing together is definitely funnier, louder, and usually more chaotic than anything else.[/p][p][/p][p]Dark Hours was always built as a co-op experience first, full of screams, last-second plans, and those miraculous escapes where somehow, against all odds, you all make it out together. If those moments have made you laugh, panic, or bond with your crew, then this category truly feels like home for us.[/p][p][/p][p]Thank you all for playing Dark Hours and for the support you’ve given us since day one ❤[/p][p][/p][p]See ya!
