Asylum DLC Announcement

Hi, we hope everyone is safe at home playing games in this pandemic.

We have been working hard creating new content for SHVR DLC content

The Asylum DLC is a completely new map and horrific story experience within a Psychiatric Hospital nearby Mountain Peaks town


The DLC will contain many features including a new map, characters, enemies, and story soon to be revealed as progress is made.

NEW ENGINE UPGRADE + WMR SUPPORT



We have been working hard to update our game to the latest version of Unreal 4.23. This should allow window mixed reality headsets to work with the game. Performance improvements for lower hardware.

Now that we have completed everything promised in the early access for final version of SHVR.

We are now preparing to launch updates correctly with smaller patches and will

continue with bugs fixes, suggestions, and polish in the future.

We hope to work on some extra content this year. DLC content with additional maps.

1. Tree Monsters Story Map

2. Reaper Story Map

3. Asylum Story Map

More info in the months to come. Prices have not been discussed yet, early development has started. you can follow us at our TWITTER PAGE for updates. With that said, let's prepare for another sinister Halloween this year with new content to immerse yourself into the spirit of Halloween, and keep it going through out the year ːsteamhappyː

Thank you for supporting our Halloween game.
