Hey Everyone,
You might recall that in July, I put out a post stating that the multiplayer demo was likely to release on Steam around late August / early September. Well now it's early September and unfortunately, because of legal complications, I've got to push the date back.
The demo will release September 29th.
In truth, the demo is fully ready.
It's got multiplayer, proximity chat, new events and new customers. It's even been playtested and polished. But because the game blew up so fast at such an unexpected rate, there were unexpected legal processes that popped up and need to be completed before the demo can release.
This is extremely frustrating for me, so I can only imagine how frustrating it is for you, especially considering I stated a timeframe that I didn't end up delivering on. Though I hope you can understand that I want to release this the right way - and don't worry, I won't stay idle during the three week wait. I'll spend this time on further polishing and further playtests to make sure that when you do get your hands on it, it'll be great.
FAQ:
What will this Steam demo contain?
The main addition will be online co-op for up to 3 players. Night 1 will be identical to the singleplayer demo. Night 2 is overhauled, and there will be an additional Night 3 with new content. However, like the singleplayer demo, this demo won't have randomly generated nights. But the full release will.
What will change between this demo and the full release?
The full release will be composed of randomly generated "runs" to play through with your friends. This will include a shitton of customers, random silly/scary/funny events, items, monsters, traps and more.
When will the game fully release?
Q2 2026
What languages will the game be in?
Right now, I'm looking toward English, French, Russian, German, Spanish, Japanese, Chinese (Simplified). There may be more in future, but for the time being, this is what I'm going for.
