Kia ora employees,
Your first shift has been scheduled.
I'm excited to announce that Hazard Pay will launch on Steam on 10th September 2026!
Thank you to everyone who has wishlisted the game, played the demo, shared feedback, or followed development so far. Your support (and patience) means the world to me.

See you soon!
Arran, Smitner Studio
