Static Dread: The Lighthouse News

One day until release!

[h2]Static Dread becomes available tomorrow at 9:13 AM PT / 6:13 PM GMT+2.[/h2][p][/p][p]And for those ready to dive in right away, we’re offering a big launch discount of 25% – the largest discount the game will have in the coming year. We truly hope players won’t wait for seasonal sales but will jump into Static Dread right at release.[/p][p][/p][p]After launch, our entire team will keep working. If any bugs or issues appear, we’ll fix them as quickly as possible. We’ll also be listening closely to your feedback and improving the game accordingly.[/p][p][/p][p]Some language work will also continue. At launch, the following languages will be fully supported: Portuguese, German, French, Spanish, Russian, and English. Other languages are available in-game, but only via machine translation – so we’ll continue improving localization after release.[/p][p][/p][h3]This is a very important release for us. We want to keep building the world of Static Dread, and we have a lot of exciting ideas. We hope to see you in the game tomorrow![/h3]

Two days until release!

[h3]Static Dread launches on August 6th, and we’re both excited and a little nervous! :)[/h3][p][/p][p]This release is very important to us. We plan to keep expanding the world of Static Dread within H.P. Lovecraft's universe, so we truly hope you’ll enjoy The Lighthouse.[/p][p][/p][p]Please note: at launch, only a few languages will be available. Translations are available in Portuguese, German, French, Spanish, Russian and English. The first four are edited by our wonderful community 💚 All other languages will only be supported via machine translation at this time.[/p][p][/p][p]We do plan to add more translations later on. But unfortunately, we simply didn’t have the time to finish them before launch. The game is large and very text-heavy, and providing high-quality localization takes time and care.[/p][p][/p][p]We’re looking forward to seeing you all on launch day. And yes — we’ll be offering a big launch discount![/p]

Demo Update

[p]We’ve been collecting your feedback, polishing things up, and we’re finally ready to show you what we’ve got! A new demo build is live — spanning three in‑game nights and packed with fresh mechanics. We’d love to hear your thoughts in the survey or on Discord.[/p][p]Heads‑up: old save files aren’t compatible, and for now the demo is English‑only.[/p]

Community translation has started!

Next Fest might be over, but the journey for Static Dread is just beginning!

More than 6,000 players bravely survived the lighthouse, and we dropped 5 patches to make the experience even better and continuing to do so. Thank you to everyone who played, shared feedback, and supported us. You’re the reason we keep going!

Today we’ve also added 6 new languages to demo (automatically translated):
- Simplified Chinese
- Spanish
- Portuguese (Brazilian)
- Japanese
- German
- French

Since these translations are machine-made, we’d love your help proofreading and correcting them! Join us on Discord if you want to contribute to the translation, or offer translation to YOUR language, and message one of the admins for the access.

We will continue improving the game, and we’ll see you on the release 🕯🌊
