Dark Hours: Anomalies

Dark Hours: Anomalies Is Coming October 29th!

Piece of Cake studios

Hello everyone,

Today, we’re thrilled to announce Dark Hours: Anomalies, our brand-new 1-4 player co-op horror game about spotting anomalies to escape an endless loop. Set in the universe of Dark Hours, it launches in Early Access on Steam on October 29th at $1.99.

The Trickster has a new twisted game for you. Take a look at the trailer below to get a glimpse of what’s waiting for you

Welcome to the Trickster’s Game

In Dark Hours: Anomalies, the Trickster has trapped your crew of thieves in an endless loop. His deal is simple: spot the anomalies to escape the loop. Fail, and you’ll stay trapped forever.

Explore every corner of a cursed train station, from the empty main hall to the hidden service corridors, and report anything that looks out of the ordinary. Then head back to the train and make the right call: Clear or Haunted? One wrong answer, and you're back to the start.

  • Clear or Haunted: one wrong answer sends you back to the start
  • Observation-based gameplay: memorize your surroundings and trust your eyes
