Hi everyone!
Only 6 weeks left until the release of The Darkes Files! We’re deep in the final stages of development, making sure everything is as polished as possible before release. Right now, we are focusing on QA Testing, eliminating all existing bugs, and making sure everything runs smoothly. 🕵️♀️
But there is also still some visual improvement happening! We overhauled the Flashback Scenes of Esther’s past. If you have played the closed beta, you saw an earlier version of them. They are a glimpse into the past, like the memories of witnesses, which you know from the demo. While also in black and white, a new shader will differentiate the Flashback Scenes from the Witness Memories, making each one feel distinct and atmospheric. What do you think?
The Darkest Files will be released on Steam on the 25th of March with English voiceover and subtitles, as well as German and French subtitles. After will follow Russian and Spanish subtitles, and the release on Nintendo Switch!
