Darker: Chapter 1 · published 3 Dec 2025, 18:07 UTC

(These are raw preview renders. Post-work is still pending.)

Howdy friends! Hope you’re all doing great. It’s been a while since I posted the last update here on Steam.

Right now, a major remake of the initial parts of the game is underway to improve visual quality, add new content, and introduce important story changes before the final release.

Not everything will be remade — only the starting sections, since they were beyond repair 😂. I didn’t have any rendering experience when I originally created them. Once this remake is completed, I can start working on the final part of the game. With this, along with a few other changes and new language options, Chapter 1 will finally be complete, allowing me to release it here and move forward to the next chapter.

Thank you all for sticking with me. If you haven’t wishlisted the game yet, please do — it really helps with visibility, and you’ll get a notification when the game finally drops on Steam.

See you soon 🖐️
