Hey everyone,

We’re excited to announce that 4:AM will be part of Steam Next Fest this October, with a new playable demo going live on October 15th.

Set in a brutal near-future dystopia consumed by The Yellow, 4:AM follows Aila, a survivor on the run after escaping years of experimentation inside a hostile facility.

In the demo, you’ll get an early look at 4:AM’s mix of cinematic tension, stealth, open-ended puzzle solving, and oppressive industrial worldbuilding. Use the N.O.D.E to manipulate objects, find your own way forward, and survive a world where danger is never far behind.

This is our first game as a studio, and Steam Next Fest is a huge moment for us. Whether you’ve been following 4:AM for a while or you’re discovering it for the first time, we’d love for you to play the demo, wishlist the game, and let us know what you think.
