Hark the Update: New Trailer + The Future

[h3]Something lurks within these dark city streets, waiting for the perfect opportunity to make itself known…

It’s an update![/h3]

We’ll be showcasing our latest gameplay trailer and discussing why we’ve made the decision to release ‘Hark the Ghoul’ in 2026.

But first, here’s the new gameplay trailer 👇
[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
We are excited to announce that we will be working alongside UK-based publisher Kwalee to release Hark the Ghoul. This newfound partnership will mean that we are able to make it an even bigger project than we’d initially planned!

With the support of a publisher, we’ll have the funding to expand the project and work on it full time. For this reason, we’ve decided to release in 2026 so we’ll be able to expand the scope of the game and make it into something truly worth harking at.

We know some of you would have loved to get your hands on the game in 2025, but rest assured the Hark the Ghoul you'll play will be an even more engrossing experience than the demo!
