Steam Next Fest & Early Access Announcement

[h3]We are pleased to confirm that Nightmare Frontier will enter Early Access on June 16, 2025! 🎊[/h3]

[previewyoutube][/previewyoutube]
Your Feedback is invaluable to us! Remember - any help spreading the word about our Early Access launch is greatly appreciated. Ahead of the Early Access launch, the Demo will soon be localized into all of the languages featured on our Steam Store Page - matching the full version’s language support.

Additionally, Nightmare Frontier is joining Steam Next Fest, and our Demo (if you haven’t noticed yet) has received a Patch to refine core gameplay = if you haven’t had a chance to try it since our last patch, now is the perfect moment! ːsteammockingː


If you like our game, don’t forget to add it to your Wishlist - we’d be immensely grateful. Thank you for your support, and we look forward to seeing you on the Nightmare Frontier! ːsteamhappyː

STEAM DECK 🎮

[h3]We love gaming on the go and some people on the team use a Steam Deck to test features and follow changes in the game! ːsteamthumbsupː [/h3]



We think that the game is really close (if not past) the Official [] Playable status of SD verification. We've got a control scheme working. After the Early Access launch, we'll work on the Official Compatibility Rating. Meanwhile any feedback that's Deck-specific is more than welcome, either in Community Forums or through our Discord. 🙇‍♂️

DEMO: Patch Notes [0.4.2]

[h2]What we fixed:[/h2]
  • Antidotum / Whiskey / Bite of Beans - Fixed a soft-lock/error caused by using these items on enemies.
  • Prologue Map Controls - Fixed an issue in the prologue that prevented scrolling to the top of the region.
  • Shotgun Visual Effects - Fixed misaligned visual effects on the shotgun.
  • Overcoming Tutorial - Fixed the overcoming tutorial trigger so now it appears.
  • Win Jingle Replaced - Fixed the victory sound. Enjoy a fresh jingle for that post-battle dopamine hit.
  • Dung Configuration - Fixed a bug where stepping into dung displayed “-1 armor” in green; now appears in red as intended.
  • Enemy Spawns - Fixed spawns so enemies no longer all face the same direction.
  • Safe Passage - Fixed safe passage spawn frequency by adding earlier exit nodes in the slums region to improve first area pacing.
  • UI Clutter - Fixed an overlap between tutorial and dialogue in tactical mode.
  • Balance - Fixed overall balance of the items. (Let us know how the new curve feels! ːsteamhappyː)
[hr][/hr]As always, thank you for the reports and feedback. 🙇 If you spot anything weird after the patch, drop a note in the thread or ping us on Discord. Stay safe out there... ⤵️
