Raven

Hey everyone,

First off, I want to thank you all for the amazing support and excitement you show for Dark Hours. We’re so happy to have such a passionate community by our side.

Now, let’s talk about what you’ve all been waiting for!
[h3]When is the Early Access release?[/h3]


We know we’ve been quiet lately, and many of you have been asking about the Early Access release date. Today, I’d like to share some insights on the development of Dark Hours over the past few months.

When we began working on Dark Hours, all we wanted was to create a fun co-op horror game to enjoy with friends, and we didn’t expect such an amazing reaction from you all. The enthusiasm you’ve shown for the game has been incredible — more than 2 millions downloads for the demo and the prologue as I’m writing these lines… mind-blowing! — and your excitement to see more is beyond what we ever dreamed of.

With so many players on board, we definitely feel the pressure now. As the saying goes, with great power comes great responsibility, and we’re aware of the high expectations for the Early Access release. Gosh, this is challenging, but we’re dedicated to meeting those expectations and offering you a truly unique and fun co-op heist-horror experience that lives up to your excitement.


That’s why we’ve taken the time to read all your messages, comments and feedback, and to respond as much as we can on the Steam forums and our Discord (and yes, it takes time!). We’re also actively working on many new features that we want to have ready for Early Access, including:

• New scary monsters
  
• Difficulty levels from Easy to Nightmare
  
• Customization options like colors and items
  
• Procedurally generated maps - which is not so easy to implement 😅
  
• An improved gameplay loop to immerse you even more into your heist night
  
• New missions other than stealing the Royal Crown
  
• New gameplay items, and fun gameplay features
  
• … and other cool stuff I might have missed!
  

All this to ensure we can bring you the best possible experience for you and your friends.


[h3]So, we’ve decided to reschedule the Early Access launch to the end of October.[/h3]

This extra time will allow us to add and polish all these exciting new features you’ve been asking for.
We know the wait is going to be a bit longer than expected, please bear with us!


Important info:

📅 The exact release date and the official price tag will be revealed on October 9, so stay tuned! 📅

Stay tuned and keep the lights on. Dark Hours is coming, and your wait will be worth it!

I am happy to announce that the Steam servers have been repaired. You can now play Dark Hours with others again by creating and joining lobbies as usual!

For those who might have missed this unfortunate episode, Steam experienced significant issues with its servers on August 24th, which prevented Dark Hours players from playing together for 10 long hours. It took a lot of patience, but everything is finally fixed!

Don't hesitate to let us know if you encounter any further issues, we are here to help!

See you soon,
Raven
