Dark Hours

Dark Hours new Major Update is here: Anomalies & Monster Variants Unleashed!

Piece of Cake studios

Hello burglars,

We’re finally coming back with a new major update, bringing you two surprises: Dark Hours: Anomalies, our brand-new co-op horror game mode we revealed last week, and our first monster variants, a new kind of nightmare joining your heists.

Let’s take a closer look at what’s waiting for you!

Discover Dark Hours: Anomalies

The Trickster has a new game for you! Say hello to Dark Hours: Anomalies, a brand-new game mode available now in Dark Hours as part of this major update.

In this new mode, the Trickster has trapped your crew in an endless loop, and your only way out is to spot the supernatural anomalies and make the right call: Clear or Haunted? One wrong answer, and you’re back to the start.

Head to a cursed train station, explore every corner, trust your eyes, and work together with your crew to escape the loop.

  • 1-4 player online co-op: the more eyes, the better
  • A cursed train station full of shops, offices, restaurants and hidden corridors
  • Over 40 supernatural anomalies to spot
  • Clear or Haunted: one wrong answer sends you back to the start
  • Observation-based gameplay: memorize your surroundings and trust your eyes

One more thing: Dark Hours: Anomalies will also release as a standalone game on Steam next week, on October 29th at $1.99, for anyone who’d like to try just this mode. If you know friends who might be interested, don’t hesitate to tell them about it! Thanks to full crossplay, you’ll all be able to team up together, no matter which version of the game you own.

Monster Variants Have Entered the Game

Our monsters have been quiet for too long, and some of them are back with a twist. This major update introduces the monster variants: alternate versions of the monsters you already know, with unexpected behaviors to catch you off guard.

And the first to be unleashed are the Golden Stalkers and the Parasitized Ghoul! I won’t spoil anything about their new behaviors so you keep the surprise, but you might get a hint from the teaser below.

And this is only the beginning. More monster variants will come in future updates, so stay tuned.

That’s it for today, burglars. We really hope you’ll enjoy diving into Anomalies and facing our new monster variants. As always, don’t hesitate to share your feedback with us on Discord or the Steam Discussions. We’d love to hear what you think.

Have fun!
