Steam relay servers are down

Edit:
I'm happy to announce that the Steam servers have been fixed. You can now play Dark Hours with others by creating and joining lobbies as usual!

----
Steam servers, specifically Steam connection managers were down today, and the Steam network services have still issues preventing Steam players to play in multiplayer to different games, Dark Hours included.
Please be patient the time Steam solves their issues, we are not the only game impacted by this problem. This is global and on the Steam end, only them can fix it.

You probably won't be able to join lobbies till they have not fixed their servers as Dark Hours is using the Steam connections to make people play together.

Again only Valve / Steam knows when it'll be fixed as this is on their backend / servers. As connection managers are back online, we hope that Steam multiplayer relay servers will get fixed soon...
Sadly, we have no official information how long it will impact Dark Hours players

We have contacted the Steam support team and waiting for their answers

I'm sorry for the inconvenience, I'll keep you updated,
Raven

Half a million players on Dark Hours!

Hey fellow robbers,

On July 18th, we've released the Dark Hours Prologue.
We're thrilled to announce we've reached an amazing milestone of more than 500K unique players on the Prologue exactly 1 month later! It's huge! šŸ”„šŸ”„šŸ”„

And we are not even counting the 400K unique players of the demo as some of you might have played both versions.

This is so huge we've been very busy answering to the questions and feedbacks of our new growing community! This is very exciting!

Please continue to express your feedbacks and what you are expecting for the full game! Your feedback and support are what make Dark Hours truly special!



But don't worry, we are also very (very) busy to work on updates for Dark Hours... and obviously to prepare the release of the full game of Dark Hours!
We have already worked internally on improvements on gameplay features and the statues for the next update, and we are also currently working on 2 new monsters. We might add at least one of them in the next demo and prologue update. We've decided for those monsters to try something new (no spoiler) so that takes some time to prepare and tweak. Please follow us to be notified when the new update will be coming! We might even use the Steam playtest feature to test it with some players before making it public!
We are also working on new gameplay features and new maps by improving our procedural generation system to get the renewed experience of Dark Hours. ...but I'll let it for another post!

And as we are progressing in the production of the full game. Be sure to wishlist and follow Dark Hours to be notified when we'll have news to share about it! Dont forget you can try the demo or the prologue, alone or up to 4 players!

Co-op horror heist Dark Hours smashes Steam charts thanks to free demo

Being a criminal is tough enough without adding the supernatural into the mix. That's the core theme at the heart of new co-op heist game Dark Hours - you're robbing a place and suddenly the lights go out and something begins to stalk you. Imagine Phasmophobia crossed with Payday 3 and you might be on the way to getting what's going on here. It makes a compelling mashup of ideas and with a free prologue you can play now, it's doing increasingly well on Steam.
