HI there!
We are thrilled to reveal that HYPNOS will be available in Early Access on Steam, launching on May 6th Just around the corner!
Here’s the announcement trailer
The game will be available from the outset in:
- French - English - Spanish - Russian - German - Japanese.
Why Early Access?
It’s a format we’re familiar with, and we also enjoyed the post-release phase of BlackShard, with its content additions and polish updates. We believe it's the right approach, rather than launching a Kickstarter campaign, which would ultimately force us to commit to many things other than the pure production of the game. Please note that this doesn’t mean there won’t be any cool merchandise, such as an art book, lore book or soundtrack. We're simply saving that work for the end of the project.
We’ll publish the full Early Access roadmap here, but rest assured that we’ve planned for a fairly short duration: Four to five months maximum. This will allow us to complete the content for the final stages of this project, while also giving us time to take on board all the feedback we hope to receive during this period. There will already be plenty to keep you occupied for hours in these dreamlike lands that we are crafting with passion.
We will also update the demo so that newcomers can try the game before joining us on this final part of the adventure. To those who choose to purchase the game in Early Access: thank you in advance. Your support will allow us to complete this project under the best working conditions and pour all our energy into it.
We can't wait to share it all with you. I’ll be posting regularly in the community hub and replying to threads where needed. If you’d like to join us on Discord and be part of this crazy community, you can do so here:

Until then, we're in the final sprint, so see you soon!
Take care.
