Equipment - Bringing in equipment needs to change

Currently, the way you bring in equipment you purchased makes no sense. You can only bring items in BEFORE you enter level. Once in level and having identified the creature you have no way to access the storage locker. So as it stands, you bring something in blindly and may not ever use it. headphones for example are $8000! and to bring that in just because you MIGHT encounter something? naahhh. Suggestion: have an equipment bag next to team back. personalized, so inventory is your own. from there you ca...

Patchnote #6 for Dark Hours (v.0.5.13401) - 31/10/2024

Monster

Monsters Navigation: The control room is no longer a safe zone for players. Prevents monsters from getting stuck after being teleported in.

FPS Capping: On first game launch, FPS are capped at 60, which should help prevent certain crashes. Be sure to activate VSync to avoid artifacts!

For players who have already launched the game, this change doesn't apply, and your FPS may not be capped correctly, so feel free to adjust this setting in the options menu.

NOT BAD

so the game is essentially you and friends enter a house to rob the place and monsters are trying to kill you it plays simple you move around and use devices to unlock and search for things to get to the next part of the game there are some issues but ill start by talking about the monster encounters

first monster is a blind guy who can't see but can hear the situation became we just kept leading him away from other places by knocking and such

second we met was this dark shadow dude... we found out its afraid of lights but not too much apparently we need a camera but we couldn't find one and kept dying

third was a ghost lady that was easy to avoid and really just easy to get away from but she has a habit to freeze people and many people in a row is a wipe

finally was the statues... you stare at them they sit still like weeping angels my major issue was that these statues can't be shoved away (cause they kill on contact) and seem to block entrances making it a pain to get around or through some way to remove them would be great as i imagine fighting them in solo mode would be a nightmare

as i said the issues are that the ghost was easy the statues are blocking exits and finally inventory... when i comes to purchases in this game you can buy all the gear you want but if it turns out its the wrong monster then that cam you brought in is useless and lost which... ya know.... sucks

final nitpick is that there is only one map... which i get its early access so ya know... i imagine it will be like that for a bit

its a good start and i look forward to updates good luck piece of cake studios

Early Access Review

I enjoyed the demo version of the game more. In the past, monsters would come when you did one or two activities and they were not as strong. For example, the statue monster, normally even seeing it a little bit would be enough, now you have to look it directly in the eyes. And monsters can now open doors automatically, there was something similar in the demo version, but at least they couldn't open iron cages. The game is not playable for 2 or 1 person.

Early Access Review

Pretty fun game with a lot of potential. Devs are very responsive to feedback. A lot of control over game settings in lobbies and general flow of the game is fun. Hoping to see more monsters and utilities for players. Going to keep an eye on this one for sure.

Don't waste your money

This game is a buggy mess with nothing interesting to offer i was invited to Test this game and on my friend's 3060 the game ran like garbage with bad graphics it should not be this unoptimized. you are better off buying other indie games like Phasmophobia or Lethal Company there is so many other games you can play hell i'd even recommend trying Outer Wilds if you are bored....

Blind monster bug

Left the upper cabinets in the kitchen room opened. Monster ran into the kitchen and got stuck in one of the cabinet. He was stuck there for a long time before we triggered it by screaming right next to him.
