Steam Next Fest is now over, time for a recap!

Hey everyone,

The Steam Next Fest finished yesterday, and it was a fantastic week for us. We are so grateful to everyone who played Dark Hours demo, gave feedback, and added the game to their wishlist (you should do it too if you haven't already šŸ‘€)

Are you ready for a recap? Let's go!


⭐ Just before the Steam Next Fest, we released an update and added:
  • A solo game mode for the brave
  • 8 localizations to let players enjoy the game in their preferred language. If you don't see yours, don't worry, we plan to add more in the future šŸ˜‰
  • Gameplay and lighting improvements
  • Multiple bug fixes

It's thanks to you that we were able to identify what we had to improve, so thank you!


⭐ This Friday, we achieve a first huge milestone, 15 000 downloads. We were speechless and so proud of your different feedback!



⭐ This Sunday, we looked at some statistics and realized we made it into the top 20 most played game demos on Steam, second huge milestone!

At that moment, we thought we had reached our peak for the Steam Next Fest, but we were wrong.



⭐ Yesterday was the real peak. We reached the top 15 most played game demos with 650 simultaneous players! At the same time, we surpassed 25,000 downloads!



⭐ We finished the Steam Next Fest with 30 000 downloads at the end!

We are so proud and wanted to thank you all once again!



For those who haven't tried the demo yet, don't worry, we plan to keep it up 🄳 Don't forget to wishlist Dark Hours, it help us a lot!
