Important news about the state of the game and the release date.

The Dark Tones: Loss · published 3 years ago

All events Players around this date Read on Steam

I welcome everyone reading this news, as well as everyone who added the game to the wishlist, I would like to thank all those who are not indifferent for their support and attention!

About the release date, the situation in general and plans.

Unfortunately, these are very difficult times for developers from Russia and I can't say how soon the game will be released, but I can say for sure that it is ready and all the time that has appeared due to the current situations with the bank and directly with Steam will be spent usefully on refining and potentially expanding the game the process and plot of the game.

Learn more about what's going on.

The thing is that the only bank in Russia that accepts payments from the United States using the SWIFT system is Raiffeisen Bank, but over the course of the development of the game, the bank has repeatedly raised the commission for the transfer to a dollar account and if I understand everything correctly, now the minimum commission for the transfer is $ 1,000, before that it was 50% from any transfer and I was ready to release the game despite the fact that for any transfer I would have to give 50% to the bank without taking into account all other commissions.
I had a desire to release the game for free and accessible to absolutely everyone, giving players the opportunity to evaluate and make some donations themselves if they liked my work, but Steam does not approve and does not welcome this, so all I have to do now is just wait and refine the game until the situation changes or until some way will be found to earn at least something for their labors, which have been spent more than two years.
I really hope for your understanding!

What is being done now.

At the moment, a new game location has been developed and added, which will allow you to play for another game character who previously took part in the plot only behind the scenes, this will give you more insight into the story told and look at this gloomy world through the eyes of a completely innocent person who found himself in the arms of darkness and horror.

Game achievements and filling the world.

I also want to show how the achievements in the game will look, they are all made in the same style and after looking at them you can leave your first feedback and suggestions.
Among other things, the world of the game was filled with a lot more details and points of interest that tell something about the characters and their lives, including references to cult works and authors.

Thank you for reading this news, unfortunately, I can't influence the situation in any way, at least — I haven't found an answer yet, but what I can really influence is the development and quality of the game!

Important! The screenshots and materials shown do not reflect the essence of the final result, everything that was shown is done at the moment, but in the final version something may change or change, be cut out altogether or acquire new details.
Thank you again for your attention and understanding!
