Temporary End of the Demo
Nightshift Game Development
Hello everyone!
Since the launch of our Early Access, we have received a lot of valuable feedback from you. Our goal is to provide you with the best possible gaming experience. To achieve this, we have decided to take the free demo of Varthos offline starting today.
Why are we doing this? Maintaining and updating two separate versions (the demo and the Early Access version) takes a lot of time and resources for us as a small team. We want to use every available minute to fix bugs, implement new content, and focus 100% on the full release of the game from now on. Due to all the recent updates, the demo no longer reflects the current state of the game.
A huge thank you to everyone who played, streamed, and sent us feedback on the demo! You have helped us tremendously.
If you want to continue supporting development and experience the latest features, we look forward to seeing you in the Early Access version!
Your Nightshift Game Development Team
