Community31 Aug 2026Hell is paved with heatwavesHi there! The essentials first: what a dreadful summer it's been. We fell a month behind schedule in terms of planning and communication regarding Early Access management – you've seen it, we've seen it, and we all know it. That’s just how it is. We have put a great deal of effort into the production, and we have kept delays to a minimum. We have focused on the things that could genuinely slow…
I hope you're all well! It’s been raining non-stop here for days. I’m building an ark to survive the flood; I’ve already found two shrews, a few cats and a sparrow. It's not much, but we'll go with what we've got. Important update: · We’ve completely revamped the tutorial with a new layout, pacing and level art. I think it’ll be much clearer this way. There's a more gradual learning curve, more…
A quick update for today! - Fixed various collision issues in the central area (such as the monolith on the coast). Extended the coastal road and added several markers along the way. - The Black Temple now has a bit more than a goat track leading up to it. - Redesigned the entrance to the Nameless City . - Fixed the sea texture, which was displaying incorrectly at a distance. That’s all for tod…
Time for another update! We’re currently working on lots to improve the game systems themselves – things that make everything run more smoothly and feel more enjoyable. More feedback, more polish. This will be the occasion for a major update, but in the meantime, here’s a first batch of rework: - There is now a proper road leading down to the sea and the harbour village, because as a wise man p…
Thanks A LOT for your support during this Early Acces's begining We're already working hard on the feedback you're reported to this day! It would mean and help us a lot if you leave a review there because: - Once we reach 10 reviews, HYPNOS visibility will increase significantly. - Once we reach 50 reviews, it will increase exponentially! Finally bear in mind that your review will only be taken…
Hi all! First sweet hotfix after you first feedback! - Y-axis inversion now working. - Crouch/slice key remapping now working. - Automatic save upon exiting Black Stone Visions to prevent players from becoming stuck there in the event of a deliberate or accidental respawn. - The side huge door in the Convergence Zone, which allows you to go to Kuranes before activating the first Black Stone aft…
Well, here we are! The Dreamlands are now open, nestled in the shadow of the Holy Mountain. We’re excited, eager AND terrified. Just like with any launch, isn't it? It's been a hell of a busy time, but it was worth it. We simply want to welcome you to the Early Access version of the game, and we’re committed to finishing and perfecting it to the best of our ability. We know where we’re going an…

Once again, you are a fabulous commu…
And here comes the first hotfix on a list (not too long, I hope, but we'll see). We've covered the essentials for now, but more refinements are coming. · Lift levers; they now work in both directions as they should. · No more flickering on some dialogue animations Other smaller quick fixes There will be a patch for text or translation errors, but French and English are available in their entire…
Today is the day! We are glad to share this first glimpse of the world of Hypnos with you. Welcome, make yourselves at home. We've been sweating bullets over this demo; showcasing a game like this is a perpetual balancing act. But Ashes, we are having a blast working on it!
