After four years of relentless development, we proudly present Dirge, a gripping 4v1 asymmetric horror game set in the haunting world of the 1950s. Unlike traditional horror titles, Dirge empowers you and up to four friends to confront paranormal monsters head-on, with one player taking on the role of the hunter. As we bid farewell to Early Access, the base game is now free for all, with optional monster DLC available to support future development. Immerse yourself in a noir-esque nightmare where survival demands not just hiding, but standing your ground against the unknown. Welcome to the next chapter of Dirge—where darkness meets defiance.
F2P & DLC Plan
In our relentless pursuit of sharing the chilling world of Dirge with as many courageous souls as possible, we're thrilled to announce a bold move. Dirge is now free for all, allowing you to step into the realm of paranormal investigations without any barriers. The base game, featuring the enigmatic Wraith Monster, is yours to experience with no strings attached.
What Changes?
Gone are the days of a single $10 purchase. Embracing a free-to-play model, we invite you to delve into the heart of Dirge without any upfront commitment. The shadows hold no secrets for those who dare to venture.
Monsters Unleashed - DLC Edition:
To support ongoing development, we've separated the monstrous entities into individual DLCs. The Wraith Monster, a cornerstone of Dirge's haunting narrative, remains free with the base game. For those seeking additional challenges and horrors, optional monster DLCs are available, allowing you to tailor your experience and support the continued evolution of Dirge.
Early Access players and DLC:
To our dedicated Early Access supporters who ventured into the shadows with us, your steadfast commitment has been the bedrock of Dirge's evolution. The Revenant DLC and Wendigo DLC, both were integral parts of the game when you first believed in our vision. If you acquired Dirge during Early Access, join our Discord (see link on Steam) to provide proof of your game acquisition, and we'll unlock these for you as you had them. Your support has been the heartbeat of Dirge, and as we transition, we want to ensure your journey continues with the companions that accompanied you from the start. Thank you for being the pioneers, the investigators, and the guiding lights in our chilling narrative.
EA Journey
When we entered Early Access it was to get active players to test and provide feedback for our development, and our community delivered. From simple players to video content creators, our Early Access community played thousands of hours of Dirge and provided constant and crucial feedback and direction for our efforts. Over the course of the last 2 years in Early Access we have added in two full multiplayer maps, two complete new monsters, four new playable characters, half a dozen new tasks to complete, new minion navigation and AI support, a fully functional AI monster for coop and single players, complete revamp of our soundscapes, and countless quality of life improvements and bug fixes. Our small team wants to highlight without any shadow of doubt how instrumental the Early Access period was to the current state of Dirge, and how important all of YOU our Early Access supporters are to the development team here at Non Nobis Games.
Future Plans
We intend to continue supporting the refinement of bugs and errors that might be discovered by a wider audience of players to ensure Dirge remains a stable and enjoyable play experience. The development of further content will depend heavily on the popularity and support Dirge receives after release. Regardless, the developers here at Non Nobis Games plan on honing our game development skills with smaller projects, some related to Dirge and some not. While we think Dirge is a feature complete game which can provide countless hours of fun online and alone, additional maps, characters, monsters, and more are always possible but not currently planned.
