Hello, everyone!

First of all, we'd like to thank you for playing our game and taking the time to share your thoughts, feedback, and bug reports. We know that players have encountered unexpected errors and other technical issues and want to assure you that we're actively working on fixing them.

In fact, we've already released the first urgent patch and are now working on a series of broader and more substantial updates. These upcoming patches will include a large number of fixes as well as gameplay improvements based on your feedback.

More than that — moments like this remind us just how much we believe in this project. The game is alive. It breathes, it grows, and we’re here to keep shaping it into the experience it’s meant to be. Right after launch, we saw that certain bugs — ones that hadn’t appeared during pre-release testing — emerged under the load of mass play. That’s not uncommon for Early Access, but for us, it’s no excuse to hide.

It’s a reason to show up with a patch in hand and say honestly: we’re here, we’re working, and we’re incredibly grateful to everyone who’s with us.

We’re also carefully reading through all your reviews and comments — this feedback is invaluable in helping us see the game from your perspective and better understand where we need to fine-tune or fix things. Our team also sees that not all gameplay decisions have landed well for every player. We hear your concerns and are discussing ways to refine or adjust certain elements to smooth out and make the overall experience more enjoyable.

The project is still in Early Access, the development process is not slowing down, and with your help things will only get better from here!

Thank you once again for your support, patience, and sincere critique. Please keep the feedback coming, as it truly helps us shape the game into the best version it can be! 💚


With gratitude,
Night is Coming Team
