Hey friends, how’s it going? I know I don’t post very often, but I also don’t want to clutter your feed with unnecessary updates.
Anyway, the great news is… we’ve crossed 7,000+ wishlists for our upcoming release 🍾 That’s a solid number in my opinion, especially considering this is my first project here.
I started Darker 2-3 years ago with absolutely no intention of ever releasing it on Steam. At the time, I just wanted to create some art. Slowly, with the support of this amazing community, we’ve come this far and that’s awesome. Cheers to that, and to many more successes ahead 🍻
On another note, I’ve also launched my official developer page on Steam. You can follow it to stay updated on my future projects after this one.
Thirdly, I’ve hired an adult voice actress for Grace. Now, there won’t be fully voiced dialogue just yet, but she’ll be voicing all the NSFW scenes for our female protagonist. I figured having consistent NSFW audio throughout the game would add a lot to player immersion. And who knows, if everything goes well maybe we’ll eventually move toward full voice acting for Grace.
Finally… JUST 9 MORE DAYS TO GO! 🎉
I’ve also moved the release slightly earlier. While it’ll still be the 25th where I’m from, Darker: Chapter 1 will officially launch on May 24 at 11:30 AM PDT, meaning western players will be able to access the game on the 24th itself.
And since launch is getting so close, promotions have already been underway. As part of that, I’m currently hosting giveaways on two subreddits for multiple Steam keys. If you’d like to try your luck, feel free to join 👇
